Postprocessing Payment Orders 

Use

You can use this function to post a payment order, change order data, force postings, or delete/reject the order.

Prerequisites

Orders can be in postprocessing because:

·        They were only parked during manual entry.

·        The checks on the ordering party position were unsuccessful.

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose Account Management ® Payment Order ® Postprocess.

       2.      You can either select the payment orders by means of the bank area, account number, and posting date, or by means of the posting process from which the payment order has resulted (for example, online entry payment order). For more detailed selection options, choose Dynamic Selections.

Choose Ordering Party Data to indicate that only the ordering party positions that meet your selection criteria are to be displayed.

       3.      The system displays an overview of all payment orders that meet your selection criteria.

Double-click the payment order number, to go to the detail display of the payment order. You now have the following options, depending on the status of the payment order:

·        Change account holder

You can update the Name Account Holder field by choosing  Change Account Holder if you have changed the name of the account holder after the payment order was created.

·        Force the posting

When you post a payment order, various checks are run. Some of these checks depend on the business transaction and the transaction types used with it. If one of the checks is unsuccessful, the system does not post anything. You can then force the posting.

Authorization object F_PAYM_ACT

The authorization object F_PAYM_ACT locks the Force Posting and Transfer Posting functions. Only users with this authorization can force the posting of a payment item or payment order, or transfer post a posted payment item.

When you attempt to post the data, the system displays an error message that explains why the checks failed. However, you can choose the Force Posting button to force a posting anyway. The system excludes all the relevant checks. You can also navigate in display mode from the error message to the ordering party account to check and evaluate the error message (for example, ”Locked” or “Limit exceeded”).

·        Delete

You can also delete payment orders with the In Postprocessing status. (If the payment order was already posted, you can now only reverse it.)

·        Change

You can change the value date, posting amount, and the recipient data for payment orders with the In Postprocessing status.

The traffic light displays the status of postprocessing as follows:

·        Green

You have adequate authorization to change the payment order which is still in postprocessing. The payment order has not yet been checked in the current processing run.

·        Yellow

The payment order was already displayed in the current processing run (via Detail), but not yet posted, or its status was not yet changed.

·        Red

You do not have adequate authorization to change or display the payment order.

·        No traffic signal

The payment order was already processed in the current processing run (its status was changed) and can, therefore, no longer to be processed. You can now only display it.

Result

The payment order is parked with the corresponding control status if you have activated the (amount-dependent) principle of dual control for the processing of payment orders in Customizing for Bank Customer Accounts. You set up dual control for payment order processing by choosing Authorization Management ® Amount-Dependent Authorizations ® Maintain Amount Limit/Principle of Dual Control for Payment Order. Dual control applies to the following activities related to a payment order:

§         Create and change

§         Post and force post

§         Reverse

Another user with appropriate authorization must then release the payment order. Choose Account Management ® Payment Order ® Release. The system displays a list of all the orders that have not yet been released. Go to the detail view for a payment order and choose Release.
