 Preliminary Considerations

To set up clearing control, you need a business model that deals with the following questions:

  • What form do the documents have when they come from to FS-CD from the operational system?

  • Are payment plan items (such as premium, tax, partial payment surcharge) that are delivered (or defined in the payment plan) and match in terms of certain attributes, summarized (compressed in one document)?

  • Are different payment plan items (before or after summarization) grouped in one document as different line items?

  • How do the documents or line items differ on the subledger side, and what are the separating attributes?

  • What criteria are used to select items that are to be cleared with an incoming payment?

  • What items are to be assigned to one another for automatic clearing or manual account maintenance?

  • Are certain items excluded from clearing?

  • Is partial clearing permitted?

  • Is overpayment permitted?

  • Which tolerance limits still permit clearing?

  • Are different clearing variants valid for different processes and contract accounts (and contract account categories)?
