Creating Periodic Account Statements for Customers (SAP Library - FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Creating Periodic Account Statements for Customers

In order to have the system create account statements for a business partner at certain intervals, you must enter a key in the Account statement field of the master record; this specifies how frequently the account statement is to be created. The key is used as a selection criterion for printing the periodic account statements.

Example

You send an account statement to some customers every week; for other customers you do so only once a month. To have the system carry this out, you use the keys 1 for weekly and 2 for monthly. You enter the desired key in the master records of the appropriate customers. You then execute the print program for the periodic account statements every week and, additionally, once at the end of each month. When printing every week, you enter the key 1 . As a result, all customers containing this key in the master record are selected.

10-day settlement

You can also create periodic account statements as 10-day settlement.

The 10-day settlement is a collective invoice as used by head office payers. Here the open items are settled in periodic intervals, such as 10 days. You can define the settlement dates using a factory calendar.

You can carry out the 10-day settlement either as an individual request or as a mass run:

Individual requests under Environment à Correspondence for a function
Mass runs under Periodic processing à Print correspondence à Periodic account statements

You can use different types of settlement and notification letters.
