Documentation
Definition
Alternative business partner to the contract partner; used for clearing and paying the items of the contract account.
Use
If you have defined the debit memo procedure as a payment method for a contract partner, here you can enter a payer if receivables are not to be collected from the bank account of the contract partner.
The open items of all accounts that have the same payer are cleared together and paid together with one bank collection.
The details required for the collection (for example, payment method, bank details, lock reason, alternative payer) are determined exclusively using the contract account of the payer that is used to clear the receivables. This means that the payer can be different if an alternative payer has been specified in the contract account master record.
For payment specifications paid by the payment run, all payment data (payment method, bank data, ...) is determined in the payment specification and is not read from the master data. Only the locks at master record level are evaluated again in the payment run.
Dependencies
The payment program triggers the clearing of the open items in the contract accounts. Clearing only takes place if you select the parallelization object Business Partner in the parameters for the payment run.
Example
Mr Miller completes contracts for his son and daughter whereby the monthly payments due are to be collected from Mr Miller himself.
Mr Miller is defined as payer in the contract account master data of both children. Open items of the son and daughter are cleared with the open items of the father each month and payment is collected together. The payment data defined in the fathers contract account are valid. If Mrs Miller is defined as alternative payer in the fathers contract account, payment is taken from Mrs Millers bank account.
