Master Data

If you use SAP Customer Relationship Management, you can replicate and synchronize business partners in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SD customers between the CRM and ERP systems.

In special cases, you can enter account assignment to contracts. When you do this, the Subapplication field controls whether the Reference Specifications from Contract field contains real estate contracts from Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or contracts from Sales and Distribution (SD).

Processing Items

When you navigate from the account balance to mass changes to items, you can copy the item selection from the account balance.

When processing clearing of open items, you can scroll horizontally between the fields in the display variant in the variable display area.

When making transfers to another contract account, you can also take open business partner items and requests into account.

Tax

You can post withholding tax for vendor invoices both on payment and on invoicing.

Revenue Management

You can use preselections for master data to select business partners or contract accounts in the dunning proposal run.

You can record BRF traces in Collections Management to monitor decisions in the Business Rules Framework (BRF).

You can use the SAP IC WebClient business role FICACM to manage worklists in Collections Management. In addition to the functions in the GUI transaction for managing worklists, you can move work items from one list to another, defer processing, and obtain an overview of the distribution of work items between the organizational units.

If the challenger collection strategy proves to be more successful in a champion challenger analysis, you can update the collection strategy at master data level (contract account, contract account group, contract, contract group). You can either specify explicitly which collection strategy in the master data is to be replaced with which new strategy, or you can specify a test series for use by the system in replacing the collection strategy.

You can process multiple credit memos at the same time in a single step in credit processing (for example, pay, transfer, pay by check, or write off).

You can set clearing priorities for original items from installment plans on receipt of payment.

Payments

You can process the reversal of a cash desk closing using the enterprise service CashPointClosingDocumentERPCancelNotification_In as part of the external cash desk services.

In the cash desk and cash journal, you can select payment documents for reversal by a date of your choice, the current date, a data entry period, or by payment document number. You can also reverse a number of payment documents in one step, mixed payments (payment part by check, part in cash), and payments in payment lots that have already been closed. You can display the reversed payments in the cash balance and in the cash journal history.

Integration with General Ledger Accounting

You can aggregate reconciliation keys under a single reconciliation key before transfer to the general ledger.

Integration with Other Application Components

You can also send data in information container types, which you transfer for each XI message, using Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM) for asynchronous enterprise services.

You can use Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit Management in a single or multiple system landscape without an XI server.

You can use the mass activity Transfer Credit Data to transfer key figures from Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable to SAP Credit Management for business partners with negative payment behavior using the asynchronous service CreditPaymentBehaviourSummaryNotification_Out.

You can also update business partners' monthly weighted FI-CA creditworthiness after the end of the month and mark it as changed for periodic replication with SAP Credit Management.

You can extract promises to pay for evaluations in Business Intelligence.

Integration with Non-SAP Products

You can update external tax systems such as VERTEX, TAXWARE, or SABRIX in parallel in mass processing.

Closing Preparation

You can display open items that are not yet due by their due date and post the respective reclassifications in closing preparations.
