After the items are selected and the payment amount is assigned to the items, the system either creates a payment order or posts a payment document. The system makes this decision based on the characteristics of the selected payment method.

To create payment orders, set the Payment order only indicator on the payment method.

The payment method can either be specified from outside by the Web service, or the default is determined from the Define Default Payment Methods Customizing activity. There you specify the default payment method for virtual accounts (bank accounts only) using the type of payment processing Real-Time Payment Using Virtual Bank Account. Using additional entries for the type of payment processing Real-Time Payment, you can specify default payment methods for bank and card payment methods for the scenarios mentioned above that are not handled using virtual accounts.

In events 6021 and 6230, you can check the existence of appropriate payment methods at the level of items, contract accounts, or contracts. If a declaration of consent is required for real-time payments, you can also check the existence of one in these events.

If a payment order is created, the system records the data from the external cash desk in the payment order, so that it can be displayed there. This ensures that you can navigate from the payment order back to the real-time payment.

The data from the external cash desk is displayed on a separate tab in the detailed display of the payment order.
