On the Definition tab, you identify the external postpaid account, and then the external billing system which is linked to the external account. You choose the currency of the external account, and then decide whether SAP Convergent Charging will check the compatibility between account types and transactions.
Fill in or modify the Definition tab.
External Account Code: Type the code of the account in the external billing system. This code is used to mark the charged transactions.
External Billing System: Type the code of the external billing system.
Currency: Select the currency of the account.
Control charged transactions compatibility: If you select this option, SAP Convergent Charging checks in real time the compatibility between account types and transactions. In the external billing system, the compatibility is based on the account type: Receivable or payable. In the definition of the charge in the charge plan, the charged transactions are respectively marked client for a receivable account and partner for a payable account. Therefore, the charged transactions are compatible with the external account if the account type is the same. If the charged transactions are not compatible, the charging request will not be completed, and the charged transaction will be rejected, triggering a charging exception at mediation level. But if you do not select this option, the type of the account is set to Undefined, and no compatibility is checked.
Account Type: Select receivable or payable as the type of the account.
