Editing Priorities

For master contracts with the Balance Transfer feature, you can specify a Priority on the Priority tab page. In doing so, you define the sequence in which the system processes the master contracts during a balance transfer.

Note Note

If you use many-to-many balance transfer relationships (n:m relationships), you must uniquely prioritize the master contracts in question with a value between 1 and 999. Within any one n:m relationship, no master contract may have the same priority as another master contract. The priority may only equal 0 in 1:1 relationships and in 1:n relationships.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

You use the Balance Transfer (FS-MCM-BT) component.
In Customizing for Master Contract Management (FS-MCM), you have created a master contract product and defined the attributes under Balance Transfer Basic Data Priority and under Relationship Attributes.
You have created a master contract based on the master contract product for balance transfers.

Procedure

In the group box Basic Data, specify a Priority between 1 and 999.

Note Note

If you wish to change the priority of multiple master contracts in which the same funding account participates, use the order for master data changes Edit Master Contract Master Data. You can find this on the Start of the navigation path SAP Easy Access screen under Next navigation step Master Contract Management Master Contract Master Data End of the navigation path . Using this order, you can change the priority consistently across various master contracts.

End of the note.
