Function documentationDelayed, collected posting of ICDRs

 

The Insurance Collection Disbursement Request (ICDR) is a request in the Collections/Disbursements system that executes the collection or disbursement of a posting document..

You use the Enterprise Services Business Object, Insurance Collection Disbursement Request to send mass posting requests from a sender system to the Collections/Disbursements system. They are posted automatically in the background by the Collections/Disbursement system immediately after creation.

In exceptional cases, for example, when an error occurs during automatic posting in the background, it may be necessary to post an ICDR manually.

You use this function to make a delayed, collected posting of an Insurance Collection Disbursement Request, that is, of payment plan items created from this ICDR.

When an Insurance Collection Disbursement Request is creaated, trigger entries are updated. You can use this report to import updated trigger entries when you create ICDRs and to post the ICDRs in the scheduled intervals.

This means you cannot post the ICDRs immediately after creation, but that there is a slight delay.

If you use this report, you minimize the number of jobs created when compared with the use of direct posting. You do this, if you do not want to create too many jobs in the system for performance reasons.

Integration

In additon to this function, you can also use the following functions for an Insurance Collection Disbursement Request in Collections/Disbursements:

You also have the following, additional posting options for ICDRS in the Collections/Disbursements system:

  • You can schedule the mass activity debit entry to make postings (for example, at night). You can use this posting variant if the ICDRs that you have created do not have to be posted immediately after creation. For more information about debit entries, see Execute Payment Plans (Debit Entry).

  • You can use your own job to post an ICDR immediately after it has been created. In this case, the system creates a posting job for each Create Insurance Collection Disbursement Request as Bulkl service operation. For more information about direct individual posting, see Individual Posting of an ICDR.
