Documentation

Definition

Shifts the due date for the items that are posted to the broker contract, by the selected period.

Use

If you post a broker report, the items are transfer posted from customer accounts, and from the commission account, to the broker contract. If you have defined values for the period, and for the number ofperiods, the items are transfer posted to the broker contract, grouped according to the due date. The due date is therefore shifted by the number of the period.

Note

This is only valid if you use clarification codes that are based on the following posting rules, when posting a broker report.

  • 01, 21 (posting according to proposal)
  • 06, 26 (clearing according to clearing control)

With other posting rules, no grouping takes place after the due date for net payment. The system uses the posting date for the broker report as the due date.

Dependencies

The system groups the items according to company code and business area. Company code and business are therefore retained with totals postings to the broker contract.

Example

A broker collects 5 open items from a customer with the following due dates. All items have the same company code and business area:

20.03.: 100

28.03.: 200

28.03.: 300

30.03.: 400

31.03.: 500

You have defined the period Month and number 1 for the broker contract.

A totals document with three items is created when posting the broker report:

20.04.: 100

28.04.: 500

30.04.: 900

Further notes

You can define more customer-specific functions in event V551 (sample module ISCD_SAMPLE_V551).
