Recurring Payment

Business object of Payment Monitoring and Distribution (FS-MCM-PDM) in Master Contract Management, that, based on the business objects Standing Order, Plan Payment Agreement, and Plan Key Figures, enables payments via the plan clearing account.

The additional data from PDM was added to the business object Standing Order of Account Management for this purpose.

You can use the recurring payment to set up the disbursements from a plan. A standing order is created on a recipient account with a plan payment agreement from the ordering party side.

You can also use the recurring payment for contributions to the plan, whereby deposits are made on the plan clearing account. The plan (plan clearing account) is the ordering party side with the plan payment agreement, and the recipient side is the paying checking account. You control the direction of the payment by using the transaction type.

You use the recurring payment category to specify whether the amount is to apply for each execution or for the overall amount for the duration of the standing order.

All the statements in the standing order documentation apply with the following additions or restrictions:

You need to specify a plan payment agreement for the ordering party side.
Collective orders (standing orders with multiple recipients) are not allowed for recurring payments.
Statements for the variable standing order are not relevant.
You access the dialog via specific transactions. A recurring payment type and the plan clearing account on the ordering party side are selected here.
You can select a calculation method for the type of recurring payment on the PDM Additional Data tab page. You assigned the possible types in Customizing. In addition, you still need to fill the plan payment agreement that was created automatically if none has been defined in the plan. If a plan payment agreement was defined, you can still change this, if required.
