Example documentationScenario Zero Balancing Taking into Account the Available Amount on the Main Account

 

This scenario is an enhancement to the basic zero balancing with debit and credit clearing. The system also ensures that a defined available amount remains on the main account during cash pooling, and only clears debit balances if the main account has enough funds to do so. In the settings of the main account, you can specify whether the account limit or a freely definable minimum amount are to be checked. In the settings of the subaccounts, you can also specify priorities if the available amount on the main account is insufficient to clear all the debit balances of the subaccounts.

Example Example

The balance of the subaccount A (priority 1) is EUR 3,000.00 DR. The balance of the subaccount B (priority 2) is EUR 3,000.00 DR. The main account has a credit balance of EUR 3,000.00. You have defined a minimum amount of EUR 0.00 for the main account, meaning that this account is not allowed to have a debit balance after the cash pooling. Since the priority of subaccount A is higher, the system clears this debit balance first. The system does not clear the debit account of subaccount B since this would make the balance of the main account go below the required minimum amount.

End of the example.

Prerequisites

To represent this scenario in the system, you need to define the following rules in the settings for each account:

  • Main Account

    • SAP0073000 (Check Against the Minimum Balance or Limit)

  • Subaccounts

    • SAP0011000 (Surplus Clearing)

    • SAP0012000 (Deficit Clearing)

    • SAP0073000 (Check Against the Minimum Balance or Limit)

      Note Note

      You need to select the rule SAP0073000 (Check Against Minimum Balance or Limit) in the settings for the main account and in the subaccounts (definition of priorities).

      End of the note.
