There are two types of charges for returns: those charged to your organization by your financial institution and the charges for which you make a business partner liable.

Charges from a financial institution

The charges from a financial institution are

The allocation of charges in a returns lot is automatic. How the charges are allocated depends on the form in which a financial institution provides data: integrated in the returns amount, or as separate information on charges.

If you activate the Amounts contain charges field, you define that the difference between the actual payment amount and the amount entered - within a specified tolerance - is to be interpreted as a charge by the bank.

If you also activate the Charges contain taxes field, the system takes the bank charges as being gross charges. To identify which portion of the amount is for taxes, you must select a tax code. If you do not activate the Charges contain taxes field, the charges are taken as being net charges, and no calculation of tax takes place. However, if you have set a tax code, the charge is calculated from the net amount.

If you activate the Accept charges field, the system accepts bank charges that are above the tolerance limit defined in Customizing.

In Customizing, you can decide whether or not to make a business partner liable for bank charges based on the returns reason, company code, creditworthiness, and tolerance group.

Charges from your organization

The charges for which you make a business partner liable can be defined in Customizing on a scale according to amount limits in the returns reason. In this way, you can decide which charges will be levied for which returns amount based on the returns reason, company code, creditworthiness, and tolerance group, and whether these charges are to be posted statistically or to the general ledger.
