Example documentationScenario: Zero Balancing with Target Balance (On the Subaccounts)

 

In this scenario, the system posts a specified amount back to each subaccount during cash pooling. You can define this amount in the settings for each subaccount individually.

Example Example

The bank account of subaccount A has a credit balance of EUR 3,000.00. The account is involved in cash pooling (zero balancing) with the agreement that the target balance the account is EUR 500.00 CR. The system executes the following postings:

  1. Direct debit of EUR 3,000.00 from the subaccount for the main account. The value date-based and posting date-based balance of the subaccount is EUR 0.00 after the posting.

  2. Return posting of EUR 500.00 from the main account to the subaccount to ensure the posting date-based target balance. The posting date-based balance is EUR 500.00 after the posting, the value date-based balance is EUR 0.00 (value date + 1 day).

End of the example.

Note Note

Do not combine this scenario with the BVPF method because this method is used to ensure a posting date-based balance of EUR 0.00. This would contradict the definition of a target balance that is not zero.

End of the note.
