| prenote (FS-AM-IM) |
A business object depicting a cash reservation for a future turnover (for a debit resulting from use of a card, for example).
You can create prenotes both for credit and debit postings. Amount, posting date and payment method are open. When there is a posting for a prenote, the system finds and cancels the prenote via a reference (known as 'matching'). Otherwise the prenote is deleted after a certain time.
Prenotes affect neither the account balance nor the posting date-based and value date-based balance. However, depending on the transaction type, prenotes can be labeled as relevant for posting control and are then included in the calculation of the available amount.
