Displaying Payment History: Customers (SAP Library - FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Displaying Payment History: Customers

Recording your customers’ payment history helps you to make decisions about their liquidity and their ability to make payments in the future.

You can display an overview of your customers' payment history. You can use it to find out:

Whether or not the agreed cash discount terms were utilized.

The average number of days items were overdue per period based on payment term, or the average number of days open items were cleared prior to their due date per posting period.

If there are any trends in the payment history, for example, if your customer is continuing to miss payment for cash discount.

Note

To display the payment history, you must select the Payment history record indicator in the customer master record. Otherwise, payment history is not recorded, and you cannot execute the payment history display function.

To display the payment history for a customer, choose Goto ® Payment history from the Account Analysis initial screen.
