Releasing Standing Orders 

Use

Payment orders may require an additional authorization check before a posting can be made. You can assign these amount-dependent authorizations by using the authorization administration. In addition to the amount-dependent authorization, you can also specify if standing orders are to be released subject to the principle of dual control.

If you have entered these settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG), you can release the standing orders by using the Release Standing Order function.

Prerequisites

In the Implementation Guide (IMG) you have defined the amount above which a certain authorization check is to be run, by choosing Authorization Management ® Amount-Dependent Authorizations ® Standing Order ® Maintain Amount Limit/Principle of Dual Control and also if release is to be subject to the principle of dual control above this amount.

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose Account Management ® Standing Order ® Release.

 Changed standing orders

You can also reject the change release for standing orders that have the Parked/Changed status. If you reject the change release, the original standing order becomes active. The changed standing order is deleted. You are entered as the user who last made a change, and the system writes change documents for the rejection.

The list of standing orders to be released appears again. The released standing order now has the status 'active'.

       6.      Repeat the previous steps for all standing orders you wish to release.

Result

The standing orders were released or the change was rejected.
