Use

You can use this function to enter Standing requests .

Prerequisites

You can stipulate in the Customizing of Funds Management Government that the program automatically creates a funds commitment for all standing requests entered in a company code. For more information on this topic, see the Funds Management Government IMG under Creating funds commitments for standing requests .

Features

In the standing request, you enter the data for generating posting documents, for example, document type, customer account, FM account assignment and amount.

You also enter the standing request data, which controls when the individual posting documents are to be generated from the original document. You have two possibilities for scheduling:

  • You specify a particular transfer frequency in the standing request original document, by entering a period in months. By specifying a calendar day you can also define the day on which the posting is to be executed. The procedure only makes sense if the postings are to be executed in periods of calendar months.

  • You define a run schedule. The procedure only makes sense if the postings cannot be executed in monthly periods. For example, you can only execute postings, which are to be executed in 13 periods or every 14 days, by using a run schedule.

You define run schedules in the IMG in the Financial Accounting component, by choosing   Financial Accounting Basic Settings   Document   . You will find further information there in the section   Standing postings   Define Run Schedules   .

Note Note

It is possible to interrupt the posting frequency of a standing request subsequently. But after the change, the standing request must go through the whole approval procedure again.

End of the note.

When you save the standing request, the program stores it under a request number. As the standing request itself does not trigger the updating of transaction figures, the program does not generate an FI document for it.
