Transfer of payment information from offline branches to Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

Prerequisites

In order for the payments posted in FI-CA to automatically clear the related receivables, you have configured clearing control in the Implementation Guide for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under  Basic Functions Open Item Management Clearing Control .

Features

The Enterprise Service CashPointPaymentCreateNotification supports the transfer of individual and multiple payments in a message. Payment information sent to FI-CA via the Enterprise Service is made persistent in FI-CA and leads to the posting of the payment and the clearing of the related open item provided you have configured the clearing control accordingly in FI-CA.

If a payment cannot be posted directly, this payment receives the status Posting not successful, repetition planned .

You can read the status of a payment in the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services .

The system automatically creates a reconciliation key or reuses a relevant reconciliation key for the posting. The syntax of the reconciliation key corresponds to the form EXCYYMMTT, whereby EXC is a fixe prefix, YY signifies the current year, MM the current month, and DD the current day. The nnn places receive a sequential numbering from 001 to 999. If a reconciliation key cannot be reused on the same day, the system calls the reconciliation key with the next number.
