You use payment orders to document payments from a bank account to one or more recipient accounts. You can initiate payment orders either internally or externally.
When you post a payment order, the system generates payment items or positions that are updated on the respective customer accounts as specified in the payment order.
You can use payment orders to execute SEPA direct debits (SDD). For more information, see Creation of Payment Orders.
