Function documentationContract Management in External Systems

 

You can manage beneficiary accounts, beneficiary master contracts, and master contracts for the determination of pricing criteria in different logical systems: account-managing and master contract-managing system can be different.

You can manage beneficiary accounts distributed among multiple Account Management systems or in comparable external systems (loan accounts in one system and checking accounts in another system, for example). You can also manage master contracts distributed among multiple Master Contract Management systems (master contract for the determination of pricing criteria in one system and beneficiary master contracts in another system, for example).

Integration

For inbound processing, communication between the master contract-managing and the account-managing system takes place by means of Remote Function Calls (RFC function modules) and for outbound processing, by means of proxy methods. The methods of the account proxy and the master contract proxy execute system determination independently; they communicate by means of RFC function modules. When executing all account-specific or master contract-specific inbound functions, you must choose appropriate connection parameters.

Note Note

If the account-managing and master contract-managing system are identical, communication also takes place by means of the account and master contract proxy.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

Settings in Customizing for Master Contract Management

  • If you wish to transfer changed pricing criteria to beneficiary contracts in external systems, you have chosen Start of the navigation path Master Contract Applications Next navigation step Determination of Pricing Criteria Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) End of the navigation path and implemented the BAdI definition BAdI: Transfer Changed Pricing Criteria to External Systems.

    In addition, you have made all necessary settings in Customizing for Master Contract Management (FS-MCM) under Start of the navigation path Communication with Logical Systems Next navigation step Account End of the navigation path.

Settings in Customizing for Account Management

  • If you wish to transfer changed pricing criteria to beneficiary contracts in external systems, you have made all necessary setting in Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Start of the navigation path Communication with Logical Systems Next navigation step Accounts End of the navigation path and Start of the navigation path Communication with Logical Systems Next navigation step Master Contract End of the navigation path.
