The following describes the Customizing settings for payment card processing in Accounting.

In this step you select an existing number range or create a new one in the system.

You access the same number range object for the credit voucher number range, as is used for funds reservations, funds commitments and earmarked funds. Therefore, a number of existing number ranges may be proposed to you.

In this step, you make the following settings:

• You define the payment card type used, its alphanumeric abbreviation and assignments to credit voucher number ranges.
• You can link user-defined function module to each card type.

• Importing the inbound file

• Converting the inbound file into standard data

• Checking the inbound files

• Checking for double data

• Vendor search

• Credit voucher search

• You determine residence times for the archiving of payment card master records and payment card files.

• You use the File control indicator to determine whether the tax amounts for the inbound files of a card company are displayed separately or if they should be calculated from the transaction amounts.

In this step, you can include field control for the payment master record and the credit voucher’s additional fields. The standard account assignment block with a predefined field selection is available in the delivery system.

If you want to include additional fields, you have to develop your own function modules in the same way as the delivered standard modules and include these for the payment card master record and the credit voucher.

In this step, you can maintain all 20-character selection codes for an inbound file and their respective meanings in an overview table.

The selection code is delivered as additional information in the inbound file and is also saved in the log file. This code can for example classify a payment card according to a regional issuing area. By specifying the selection code, a selection of data records to be processed can be defined in the log file.
