Set Up Bank Determination for Payment Transactions

In this activity, you make settings that the payment program uses to select the banks or bank accounts from which payment is to be made. You define the following:

You specify which house banks are permitted and rank them in a list.
For each house bank and payment method (and currency, if required), you specify which bank account is to be used for payments.
For each account at a house bank, you enter the amounts that are available for the payment run. You enter separate amounts for incoming and outgoing payments. Specifying available amounts enables you to control which bank account is to be used for payments. You can specify the amounts depending on the value date at the bank.
You specify how many days elapse between the posting date of the payment run and the value date at the bank, dependent on the payment method, bank account, payment amount, and currency.
You can have the system determine the value date, taking into account the bank calendar and any individual arrangements made with the bank. To do so, choose the activity Define Value Date Rules
You define the charges that are printed on the bill of exchange forms (standard practice in Spain).

Recommendation

For more information about bank subaccounts, see the SAP Library under Financials -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable (or Account Payable) -> FI - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Payments.
