Single Settlement Request 

Definition

Payment document in Agency Business used to enter an incoming invoice.

The special feature of this document is that no preceding documents need to exist in the system for the document to be created. However, the document can still be used to generate follow-on documents.

The single settlement request is defined as a SAP business object (object type: BUS2100002) in the Business Object Repository (BOR). For further information, see Business Objects, BAPIs, and ALE Interfaces in Agency Business.

 

Use

You use the single settlement request to enter incoming invoices from a vendor to a customer without reference to any previous purchasing transactions. The system uses the condition technique to calculate your commission (for example del credere commission). For further information on price determination using the condition technique, see Functional Prerequisites for Agency Business.

You can enter single settlement requests in the system using individual entry or list entry. For further information, see Individual Entry of a Single Settlement Request and List Entry of a Single Settlement Request.

You can also enter incoming invoices in the system in a settlement request list. However, the settlement request list is a separate payment document that has several different features to the single settlement request (see Settlement Request List).

When the document is entered, the system determines the terms of payment and conditions relevant for the business partner.

You can generate accounting documents and other follow-on documents from the single settlement requests, and can use these to credit and debit the vendor and customer accounts.

Integration

You can create the following follow-on documents from settlement requests:

On the Accounting details screen, you can display a list of the accounting documents, profitability analysis documents, etc.

On the Document flow details screen, you can display the follow-on documents that are created (see Displaying Document Flow).
