Prenote Assignment

The system assigns a prenote if a payment item is created with a prenote reference, and if an active and valid prenote with the same prenote reference exists.

Integration

If you have selected the Prenote Check checkbox in the Customizing activity Maintain Transaction Types, the system displays the Prenote Reference field as follows:

On the Payment Item and Planned Item screens, on the References tab page
On the Payment Order and Forward Order screens, on the Ordering Party and Recipient Party tab pages

Prerequisites

You have selected the Payment Amount Checks checkbox in the Customizing activity Define Prenote Types.
The prenote amount matches that of the payment item, but allowing for any tolerance limits that you have defined in Customizing.
For more information about tolerance limits, see the Tolerance Limits section below.
The prenote amount and the payment item amount are either both debits or both credits.
The prenote is active and valid.
For more information, see Prenote Statuses.

Features

Prenote Assignment Checks

When you post a payment item, the system does the following:

If the above prerequisites are met, it posts the payment item and sets the prenote status to Assigned. It then deletes the related pending workflow items in the inbox of the release user in the Business Workflow if the prenote was subject to release.
If the above prerequisites are not met, it does not assign the prenote to the payment item. In this case, you can force the payment item posting or allow the payment item to go into postprocessing. If the payment item was created by means of a BAPI, it goes into postprocessing. You can also use Business Add-In BADI_BKK_PAYMITEM_PRENOTE_CHK to skip the prenote check.

Note
Once a prenote has been assigned or deleted, you can reuse its reference number. The prenote reference number does not, therefore, need to be unique. Each prenote has its own internal identification, which is unique.

End of the note.

The payment item shows the status of the prenote check on the Administr. tab page.

Reversal of the Payment Item Assigned to the Prenote

If you reverse the assigned payment item, the prenote does not revert back to the active status. The prenote reference on the new payment item that records the reversal entry is for information purposes only. If you do not require this information, you can implement Business Add-In BADI_BKK_PRENOTE_DATA to prevent the prenote reference from being displayed (see the Customer Enhancements section under Prenote).

Tolerance Limits

If you have defined tolerance limits for the prenote in the Customizing activity Define Tolerance Limits for Prenote Amount Check, and if you have activated the payment amount checks in the Customizing activity Define Prenote Types, the system assigns the prenote to the payment item if the amounts do not differ by more than the defined tolerance limit.

Note Note

The system does not assign the prenote or the payment item and issues an error message in the following cases:

Debit transactions: If the payment item amount exceeds the prenote amount plus the defined tolerance
Credit transactions: If the payment item amount is less than the prenote amount minus the defined tolerance

End of the note.

If you have not defined tolerance limits and have not selected the Payment Amount Checks checkbox, the system assigns the prenote to the payment item if the amounts of both match.
