Proposal of Payment Guarantee Procedures

Use

This function suggests a method for helping secure payment for an export transaction. It inserts the default payment guarantee procedure (for example, a financial document) in the sales order.

Integration

The payment guarantee procedure the system suggests results from the combination of two values:

The value you set in Paym.guar.proc. field (Payment Guarantee Procedure) on the customer master record’s Billing document screen (To set this value, select Customer in the Master data section of the Foreign Trade Cockpit and choose Change.)

For example, you can indicate that a financial document is required for all sales to customer ABC.

The value you set as payment guarantee procedure for the document type

For example, you can indicate that all standard sales orders require financial documents.

Prerequisites

For the system to propose a payment guarantee procedure, you must maintain the table that maps customer-document type pairs to payment guarantee procedures.

To access this table, choose the following in Customizing for Sales and Distribution: Foreign Trade/Customs ® Documentary Payments ® Risk Management for Financial Documents.

Activities

Although the system proposes the payment guarantee procedure, you can select a different procedure directly in the sales order.
