Multiple Payment Recipients
Use
I t is possible to define more than one payment recipient per agreement or claim. For each line item of an agreement/claim, one business partner can be defined which is when reflected in the financial execution process. The ERP interface also supports the change of a payment recipient during the agreement/claim processing.
Note
For tracking reasons, it may not be advisable to allow the CRM frontend to change an existing business partner definition of an agreement/claim which has been transferred to the ERP system. It is advisable to use new line items for this purpose.
The standard grantor CRM User Interface (UI) has not been adapted to reflect the new ability of the ERP interface to manage multiple payment recipients. Nevertheless, the partner functions assignment block can be used to assign a business partner to a payment recipient business partner function on line item level in CRM .
Prerequisites
For each item category of an agreement/claim, a Business Partner Determination Procedure needs to be defined which includes a business partner function which can be used as a payment recipient in CRM .
