Account Processing

On the Settlement tab page of the account, the Do Not Post Settlement indicator is not selected. Otherwise the settlement results are not posted.

Features

Cumulated Posting

If you have selected the Post Settlement Cumulated indicator in account processing on the Settlement tab page, the settlement results are posted as a total. Otherwise the settlement results are posted separately for each posting type.

Preparing the Postings

The system prepares the posting of all payment items, payment orders, and non-balance-changing turnovers using the function module BCA_ACBAL_POSTING_ITEMS_BUILD .

Note Note

If you have set the Post Settlement Cumulated indicator in account processing on the Settlement tab page, the payment items with the same posting date and value date are summarized for each account.

End of the note.
Posting Logic

  • The system first posts the settlement results to the settled account.

  • The system reads the payment details for the settlement. If there are payment details for individual settlement results, the system first generates a payment item on the settlement account and then a payment order on the payment details account to either transfer or collect the amount.

Note Note

If an internal account is assigned to the payment details and no transaction types and payment methods are stored for the payment details, the system posts the payment items for the settlement results directly to the payment details. In this case, no settlement results are visible as a posting on the settled account.

If you use the payment advice instead of the payment details, the system first posts to the settled account and the to the payment details.

End of the note.

Posting the Settlement Results

The settlement results are posted in the function module BCA_API_ACBAL_POST. This involves the following steps:

  • Check the posting records

  • Generation of payment items, payment orders, and non-balance-changing turnovers

  • Post the results

All payment item IDs existing for posted items are stored in the settlement, so that it is later possible to reverse individual postings.

When posting is complete, the Business Transaction Event (BTE) OBCA4060 (Revenues - Available Balance Series) is run.

Note Note

In the Business Transaction Event (BTE) OBCA4010 (Customer-Specific Settlement Postings), you can, for example, add payment notes for every payment item that then appear in the documentation of the settlement results.
