Use

You use assignment rules for a characteristic value for a grouping characteristic to define whether an item is excluded from payment, or whether it is suitable for cross-group payment.

The following assignment rules are available:

[space]: Only within the group (defined using the grouping string)

1: If the higher-level characteristics of the grouping string are equal:

2: No clearing analysis in the current clearing step

3: No clearing analysis in the current clearing step and all other clearing steps

4: Clearing analysis ONLY in the current clearing step

5: No clearing analysis for ALL items in the current step

6: No further clearing analysis for ALL items

Example

You have set up a grouping with VKONT, VTREF and main transaction (HVORG). All items that match, in terms of these characteristics, are cleared. The following main transactions are available: Auto liability: 6010, auto partially comprehensive: 6015, auto claim: 6020, annuity: 8000, payment on account: 5060. You want to define an alternative grouping for main transactions:

Example:

Insurance object 2020 is assigned to contract account 4711. Three auto liability receivables of 1000 EUR, one claim payment of 2000 EUR, and the disbursement of a 1000 EUR annuity are due for the insurance object. You want to clear receivables and claims with one another for automatic clearing, but exclude the annuity from a payment.

Choose grouping rule 1 for grouping characteristic HVORG. Enter characteristic values 6010 and 6020 in the alternative grouping. Use space as the assignment rule each time, assign group 1 to every characteristic value. Enter characteristic value 8000 in the alternative grouping. Use as assignment rule 2; assign group 2 to the characteristic value.

Clearing between different values for a characteristic takes place if they match, in terms of all other characteristics.

Example:

Insurance object 2020 is assigned to contract account 4711. Two auto liability receivables of 1000 EUR are due for the insurance object. The policyholder makes a payment on account of 2000 EUR. You want to clear receivables and payments on account for automatic clearing. Choose grouping rule 1 for grouping characteristic HVORG. Enter characteristic value 5060 in the alternative grouping. Use as assignment rule 1; assign group 1 to the characteristic value. Make sure that the assignment of the payment on account to another main transaction is unique, and that it is influenced by other parameters (such as amount rule, sorting, see below).

Example:

Insurance object 2020 is assigned to contract account 4711. Two auto liability receivables of 1000 EUR and two auto partially comprehensive receivables of 1000 EUR are due for the insurance object. The policyholder makes a payment on account of 3000 EUR. You want to clear the receivables with the payment on account for automatic clearing.

Choose grouping rule 2 for grouping characteristic HVORG. Enter characteristic value 5060 in the alternative grouping. Use as assignment rule 1; assign group 1 to the characteristic value. Make sure that, in this case, all other main transactions form a group, due to grouping rule 2. This setting means that a possible annuity of 1000 EUR would then be cleared with the receivables from the auto policies.
