Use

In this activity, you enter rules that the payment program uses to determine the following values that are needed for SEPA direct debits:

Requirements

Standard settings

No rules are provided in the standard SAP system. The system determines the following default values:

  • For B2B mandates:
    • Local instrument code - B2B
    • Lead time - 1 day
  • For other mandates:
    • Local instrument code - CORE
    • Lead time - 5 days if mandate used for first time
    • Lead time - 2 days for subsequent use of mandate

If you do not enter a calendar, the payment program uses the calendar that you defined at event 661. In this event, you can also override the default lead times (1/5/2 days).

Activities

Using the rules, you specify the local instrument code for:

  • The countries of the house banks, or the house banks
  • The bank countries of the payer, or the banks of the payer

When you specify the lead times, you can also distinguish between first-time and subsequent use of multiple-use mandates and also between these and one-time mandates. In addition, you can enter differing lead times for B2B mandates.

When maintaining rules, you do not have to fill all key fields. If you leave values blank, the system interprets the entries generically. You specify the sequence in which the payment program reads the generic entries in the Customizing activity Change Priority Rules for Direct Debit and Lead Times.

You can test which entries the payment program selects in which situation by choosing Simulate in the current activity. Enter a house bank and specify the bank details of the payer either using a mandate or using the bank key and IBAN.

The system stores the local instrument code that is determined in the payment data (table DPAYH, field INST_CODE); as a result, the local instrument code is available for sorting the payment data as well as for creating the payment media.

Activities

Example

Entry for a Country
With the following entry, you specify that all German banks accept the local instrument code COR1 and it is used, as a result, for all direct debits within Germany:

Bank Country of House Bank    DE

Bank Country of Payer    DE

Local Instrument Code    COR1

Lead Time    1 day

Additional Entry for an Exception
To cover the situation where a bank in Germany does not yet support COR1, you add three entries for the local instrument code CORE with the bank key of this bank (one entry each for first and subsequent uses of a multiple-use mandate and one for one-time mandates). Making this entry can be useful both for the bank of the payee as well as for the house bank. The payment program uses that entry first in which more key fields are specified. It only chooses the generic entries if no specific entries are found.

Adjustment of Lead Time
To allow enough time for checking payment data, always plan payment runs two days before submitting the payment file. Therefore, you have to increase the lead time by two days.
