Creating/Changing Bank Statement Agreements

Choose Create in the Bank Statement Agreement group box. The system creates a new bank statement agreement with the following characteristics:
- Status: Active
- Sequential Number of Agreement: 1
- Binding Agreement: Activated
Select the following indicators:
- Periodic, if the system is to automatically calculate the key date for the next bank statement to be created in a mass run. The system displays the Bank Statement Time Periods area in which you need to enter the data required for the automatic calculation of the key date. For more information about the data you need to enter here, see the Bank Statement Time Periods section of the bank statement document below. Changes to this field are only possible on the day.
- Bank Statement Printer, to enable the output of bank statements on bank statement printers for the account. Changes to this field are only possible on the day.
  
  Note
  
  You can set this indicator for an agreement only.
  
  End of the note.
- Without Turnovers, to create a bank statement without existing turnovers.
- Item Information, if the system is to include information, which you have set up in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM), under Tools Print Workbench, or in your Output Management System.
- Recipient Group (correspondence recipient group). The following applies:
  - The standard recipient group is the correspondence recipient group to which all other correspondence refers in the standard system. This is without the need for creating a correspondence recipient group in Customizing first. This why the field is empty and not ready for input in the binding agreement. To use the standard recipient group, leave this field blank.
  - To specify in more detail about to whom, how, and in what form a bank statement is to be sent, enter the relevant recipient group here. You need to create correspondence recipient groups first in the Customizing for Correspondence Recipient Management under Tools Correspondence Recipient Management Create and Assign Correspondence Recipient Groups . For more information, see Correspondence Recipient Management.
- Choose Save.
  
  Note
  
  You can change a bank statement agreement for any time in the present, future and past. Earlier and later changes to the Periodic and On Request indicators are, however, not possible.
  
  Which fields are ready for input depends on the point in time. If the Periodic indicator is set for the agreement, details of the time period of the bank statement agreement are displayed on a separate screen for this agreement.
  
  End of the note.

Deleting/Deactivating a Bank Statement Agreement

You can delete a bank statement agreement as long as you have not saved it. If you have already saved the bank statement agreement, you can now only deactivate it. The symbol in the Active column changes from Active (light is on) to Inactive (light is off). No more bank statements can be created for this agreement,

Select the required line and choose Delete / Deactivate.
Choose Save.

Note Note

You can neither delete nor deactivate the binding agreement for bank statements.

If you are using the master contract application Combined Statement in Master Contract Management (FS-MCM), the master contract can transfer the binding bank statement agreement for a participant account. In this case, the system displays a message accordingly.

For more information, see Combined Statement.

End of the note.
