Monitoring Payments

Use

The Monitor for External Cash Desk Services (SAP Easy Access screen: Start of the navigation path Payments Next navigation step External Cash Desk Services End of the navigation path ) enables you to manage and monitor payments received using Process Integration (PI). This gives you access to: master data, agent postings, successful messages for external payments, deposits, withdrawals, difference postings, G/L postings, outgoing payments, and account balances of external cash desks. You can make the data selection at the level of the external cash desk or the agent and using further selection criteria.The Monitor for External Cash Desk Services is based on the ALV technology which means that you can configure the display individually.

Features

On the Overview, XI Monitor, Payments , and Agent Postings tab pages, you can use the following functions:

Overview

Here you can select the grouping key and the master data by date and date intervals. The selection by master data delivers all payments with their respective status as well as the specification of the agent or the cash desk. The selection by grouping key delivers the status of all grouping keys for external payments. If the status is incorrect, here you can, for example, repeat postings to correct the error and then determine the new status via a refresh. You can also see the number of payments posted per cash desk/branch; they are displayed split according to successful and unsuccessful postings.

XI Monitor

This tab page shows all XI messages for an enterprise service . Here you can navigate directly to the XI messages for a message category. (However, you cannot select cash desks and branches.) Double click the document number of a payment to navigate to the document display.

Payments

At the cash desk or branch level, you can monitor all messages received from a business view. You receive information about all payments according to their respective status, which can have one of the following values:

Symbol	Status	Meaning
	P	Payment posted successfully (document number exists)
	R	Repetition planned
	P	Payment lot was created (payment lot number exists)
	X	Item could not be processed
	C	Payment was reversed
	D	Reversal in repetition
	E	Payment reversed, no posting necessary
	P	Payment posted, document exists
	C	Reversal unsuccessful, payment lot created (The system was unable to post the reversal and has therefore created a corresponding reversal payment lot for the reversal.)

Using the pushbuttons in the toolbar above the table you can:

Pushbutton	Function
XI	Direct call of XI message for a payment
Repeat	Repeat posting of a payment or repeat reversal
In Payment Lot	Addition of items to payment lots
