IHC Payment Orders Versus Payment Orders

Definition

From a technical perspective, SAP In-House Cash uses two types of payment orders:

  • IHC Payment Orders

    Most of the SAP In-House Cash functions are based on IHC payment orders. For information on displaying IHC payment orders, see Displaying IHC Payment Orders .

  • Payment Orders

    In the case of automatically generated objects, we are dealing in some cases with payment orders . For information on displaying payment orders, see Displaying a Payment Order .

Use

When payment orders are created, one of the following constellations is possible:

  • You create an IHC payment order. This is the case for all manual activities .

    The IHC payment order also contains the functions for forward orders.

  • The system creates a payment order.

    This is the case if you carry out the following activities:

  • The system creates a payment order and an IHC payment order at the same time.

    This is the case if payment is made to an external recipient via a clearing partner. To this end, the system generates an external IHC payment order in addition to the payment order as well as a payment item in the corresponding clearing account.

    As a prerequisite, you must have made the relevant settings for generating additional IHC payment orders in the implementation guide (IMG), under Start of the navigation path Account Management Next navigation step Payment Processes in In-House Cash Next navigation step Make Basic Settings for Payment Processes Next navigation step External Payments. End of the navigation path

    Note Note

    The workflow only enters payment orders and not IHC payment orders.

    End of the note.
