Account Management and Manual Editing of Items 

Purpose

Accounts are managed in the in-house cash center on the basis of the payment items (turnovers) posted - in general automatically - to the account. The payments are entered by the affiliated companies and transferred by IDoc to SAP In-House Cash for posting. From the perspective of SAP In-House Cash, these payments fall under the heading of externally initiated payment transactions.

Internally initiated payment transactionsare triggered in SAP In-House Cash as a result, for example, of a telephone request from one of the affiliated companies. The principle of dual control based on amount-dependent release functions is available for IHC payment orders and payment items.

Flexible route processing lets you manage payments if the payer and payee accounts are in different bank areas. You do this by defining clearing partners and rules for route determination in Customizing.

For more information on route processing, see Route Processing for External Payments.

Implementation Considerations

Make the necessary settings in Customizing under Account Management ® Payment Processes in In-House Cash.

Scope of Functions

When processing payment transactions we differentiate between IHC payment orders and payment items:

·        IHC payment orders are orders from internally initiated payment transactions, comprising one ordering party item and several recipient items.

·        Payment items are individual items, updated to an account within the current account system.

In the context of account management, the following functions are available for manual entry and post processing:

·        Create, create (backdated), post process, return, reverse, delete, and release payment items

·        Create planned item

·        Create, post process, and release internal and external IHC payment orders
