Preliminary Entry of Settlement Request Lists

Use

Instead of creating settlement request lists directly, you can park single settlement requests for settlement request lists and combine them to form settlement request lists at a later date.

The following diagram explains the process flow:

Procedure

...

1. You enter the incoming invoices first as single settlement requests. The payment type here must have the entry category B (Parking settlement request lists). In contrast to standard entry of single settlement requests, no FI documents are created from parked single settlement requests. They are assigned posting status G (Posting using settlement request list (parking)).

For further information, see Creating Single Settlement Requests.

2. In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Agency Business ® Payment ® Settlement Request List ® Create from Parked Payment Documents. You use this report to create settlement request lists from parked single settlement requests. Using selection criteria you select the documents to be processed. The system combines the single settlement requests with common split criteria (for example, invoicing party) to form a settlement request list.

3. Further processing (posting settlement requests lists, creating posting lists/customer settlements) takes place in the same way as for direct entry of settlement request lists.
