The SAP System also supports the automatic entry of bank postings for outgoing payments by importing bank statement data using the Electronic Bank Statement function.

Note Note

For more information, see the FI Treasury and FI Electronic Bank Statement documentation.

Selecting and activating down payment requests during clearing triggers the system to post a corresponding down payment. This saves you from having to enter the down payment manually, as well as from having to switch between two transactions to process incoming payments.

You can also pay a down payment request with a form (check) online.

Down payment requests are reset in the same manner as other documents by using the reversal function.

End of the note.
