Use

If you want to create outgoing checks using the in-house cash center, you have to configure the payment program in the FI system of your subsidiary companies.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

In the subsidiary company concerned, make the following settings if they have not been made already:

  • Set up check payment method per country

    In Customizing for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, choose Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Configure Payment Methods per Country for Payment Transactions.

  • Define check payment method for company code

    In Customizing for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, choose Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Configure Payment Methods per Company Code for Payment Transactions.

  • Define check payment method as EDI payment method for the house bank definition of the in-house cash center

    In Customizing for Bank Accounting, choose Bank Accounts -> Define House Banks.

Since the check numbers are assigned in the Financial Accounting system of the head office, you do not need check lots for the check payment method in the subsidiary companies systems.

Follow-On Activities

  • Define this payment method in Customizing for SAP In-House Cash.
  • Edit the Customizing of the G/L accounts for check payments in the FI system of the company printing the check. In particular, note the following activities:
    1. Bank Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Payment Transactions -> Payment Processing -> Account Determination -> Bank Clearing Account -> Define Account Determination
    2. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Configure Bank Determination for Payment Transactions -> Bank Accounts
    3. Bank Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Payment Transactions -> Payment Processing -> Account Determination -> Bank Clearing Account -> Check Account Determination
