If you want to use preselections for master data, then you created selections on the SAP Easy Access screen under Defining Preselections for Master Data ). For example, you can define a set of master data using master data attributes, such as, all business partners with a given city in their address.

Choose
Continue.
On the
General Selections
tab, enter the parameters, the payment methods, and the due-by date. The program uses these criteria to select the open items.
For selecting business partners or contract accounts, you can also use preselections for master data. Using these preselections, the system checks the specified master records against the interval limits of the mass activity, as if they were entered as individual values for the business partner/contract account. In each interval, therefore, the system processes only those master records that are both within the interval limits and are part of the preselection.
To switch back and forth between direct selection and preselection, choose the pushbuttons
Direct Selection
(
Switch to Direct Selection
) and
Preselection
(
Switch to Preselection
) next to the input fields for the business partner and contract account.
In the field
Posting Date
, enter the date on which the clearing document is to be posted.
The system automatically creates a reconciliation key for the data transfer to the general ledger for each job.
If you want to use the data of an existing payment run as a template, you can copy the parameters of this run. Specify the date and ID of the template and choose
Continue
.
If you want to simulate the run for test purposes, set the indicator
Simulation Run
.
Choose the
Custom Selections
tab to restrict the selection of open items even further.
Choose the
Bank Selection
tab, and define the relevant banks for all the payment methods you want in this payment run for each company code and currency. In the field
Sequence
, you can define the order in which the system is to check whether the payment can be made by the individual banks. If you do not want to enter the bank selections for each payment run explicitly, you can enter a bank selection ID in the
Selection ID
field. However, you must have already defined this ID in Customizing (see above).
You can define a customer-specific evaluation of the sequence in event 0650. See the documentation for the sample function module FKK_SAMPLE_0650.
