In this activity you define payment plans, define the most important attributes and activities for the configuration of payment plans that are to be executed at certain times in the payment plan functionality.

The attributes are:

  • The payment form, that is the periodicity of payments (weekly, monthly and so on), the number of payments, the positioning of the due date within the period (start and end) and the period offset.
  • The charge schedule
  • Information about the splitting of difference or remaining amounts if the amount is changed, or if a payment plan is finished early.
  • Smoothing specifications, with which you create standard and even payment plan subitems according to your settings.

These attributes give you great freedom in payment plan configuration in respect of the number of partial amounts that the payment plan items are split into to, the due date timea and the amounts of the respective partial amounts.

Three options are available to you:

Variant 1:

You use the periodicity proposals delivered by SAP (payment every week, every fourteen days, twice a month, monthly, and so on).

  • Then click on the New entries pushbutton on the activity initial screen. This takes you to the detail screen for defining the payment plan and maintaining the payment plan attributes.
  • Enter a payment plan keys, allocate a description for the payment plan to be configured and defined the abovementioned attributes.

    Example

    You want to define a payment plan that has a runtime of one year. The partial amounts are due on a monthly basis according to this payment plan, and the amount of each partial amount remains the same for each due date. In this case, use the input help to enter the value monthly in the periodicity field.

Variant 2:

If the amount of each partial amount is not to be the same on each due date, you execute manual distribution. You can then allow for possible specific receivables for certain insurance products in Collections/Disbursements.

  • Now proceed as for the first variant.
  • Then go to the manual distribution view. For each period, enter the percentage rate for the payment plan item that is to due for this period. Alternatively you can create a proposal ba pressing the generate distribution button that you can adjust manually.

    • Note
    By using manual distribution you can also define the payment plan so that no partial amount at all falls due in certain periods. In this case, enter the value "Space" for the affected periods.

Variant 3:

You execute individual distribution of the partial amounts for payment plan items. You can then allow for the possible specific wishes of individual policyholders in respect of the distribution of partial amounts. Individual distribution is different from manual distribution in that you can deviate from the standard time units (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and so on) for the partial amount due dates.

You define the individual distributions for the insurance object in the payment plan items. In Customizing you just determine that individual distribution should be executed. Set the corresponding indicator on the payment plan attribute maintenance detail screen.

Assigning activities

You can define activities that are to be executed for the following events in the payment plan functionality by using the payment plan attribute maintenance:

  • Posting a payment plan
  • Changing the amount of payment plan items
  • Ending a payment plan

Select the posting events node and/or change events from the dialog structure and enter the following data in the table:

  • ID number of the event.
  • Key for the activity to be executed for this event.
  • Function module that executes this activity.

You have already created this data in the Define Activities for Payment Plan Posting or Define Activities When Changing Payment Plan Items Customizing activities.
