Electronic Bank Statement
function.

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.
