Executing Combined Settlements - Bundle Pricing Calculation

For a combined settlement for the Bundle Pricing Calculation feature, the system selects all due master contracts and calculates their charges for a given period on the basis of the condition rules. Then the system posts the combined settlement results to the payment details, displays the results, and updates the time periods.

Integration

The Execute Combined Settlement function is used by the Compensation and Bundle Pricing Calculation processes.

Depending on which of the two features is active in the product of the selected master contract, the system executes a combined settlement either by means of compensation (interest and charges) or bundle pricing calculation (charges). For more information about the process flow of the function with the Compensation feature, see Executing Combined Settlements - Compensation.

You can undo one or more executed combined settlements by reversing them. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Combined Settlement Next navigation step Reverse Combined Settlement End of the navigation path or Combined Settlement Periodic Tasks Reverse Combined Settlement - Mass Run . For more information about reversal, see the report documentation in the system under Program Documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you can execute an update run, you must carry out a posting cut-off. The posting date for payment transactions must be after the selection date and the posting date for end-of-day processing must be set.

You have carried out the steps for the bundle pricing calculation process described in the "Process Flow" section.

Features

By means of selection parameters that the report evaluates, you can restrict the selection of master contracts to individual bank posting areas or products. Using the master contract number you can restrict the selection to individual master contracts.

Activities

Start the report
You can execute the Execute Combined Settlement report either as a single run or a mass run.
1. Using the report Execute Combined Settlement - Mass Run, you can execute combined settlements for master contracts that meet the selection criteria and that - according to their time periods - are due, in a mass run.
