Processing Items in Postprocessing 

Use

Payment transaction items in postprocessing or parked items involving cash flow must also be transferred to the general ledger, even though none of the items is posted to the account in the current account system. The system takes this into consideration.

Prerequisite

You can specify if and how postings are to be made to separate general ledger accounts in the Implementation Guide (IMG) by choosing Periodic Tasks àGeneral Ledger Transfer àDefine GL Account Assignment for Items in Postprocessing.

Process Flow

Possible cases for items being transferred to postprocessing include the following:

·        Ordering party and recipient items (in externally initiated payment transactions) that failed a limit or account check.

·        Recipient items (in an internally initiated payment transaction) that failed a check.

Manually parked items (with no payment order) are not transferred.

Once the item is no longer in postprocessing, it is transfer posted accordingly during the next general ledger transfer.
