Definition

Transfers payment information from an external cash desk to Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable .

Structure

For incoming XI messages that refer to incoming payments, the system tries to post the payments directly. Dependent on the specifications for clearing control and the selection specifications, the payment can be posted directly. Payments that could not be posted directly receive the status R .

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable recognizes a payment from the unique transaction ID ( PaymentTransactionID ) for each cash desk/branch ( CashPointReferenceID / CashPointOfficeReferenceID ).

To assign payments to a day-end closing record later, specify the grouping key. The Enterprise Service for the transfer of day-end closing then delivers the grouping key together with the total amount of all payments. The grouping key is unique for each cash desk/branch.

For information purposes, you can specify the business partner ID ( PayerParty ) or the contract account number ( PayerContractAccountID ) of the payer. The business partner ID is only supported as an internal business partner number (); the GUID and external business partner numbers are not supported in the standard.

At the PaymentExplanation level, you can specify the following information for the clearing control for clearing open items.

Using the clearing amount ( ClearingAmount ), you can also assign partial amounts.

If you specify more than one item of information in a PaymentExplanation record, this is seen as a conjunction. You achieve a disjunction by distributing the information over several PaymentExplanation records.

You can only use information about checks, payment cards, and postal orders for offline branches, not for agent cash desks. For agent cash desks, the application of the cash desk software does the communication with the credit card company, for example. The settlement is direct between the agent and the credit card company. Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable therefore always interprets payments from agent cash desks as external (cash) payments (EXT).
