Definition

If you create a new version by changing fields for a SEPA mandate, then the previous (former) status of the mandate is stored under a new version number. The version number is always increased by 1. The current SEPA mandate is always version 0 (zero).

Use

Dependencies

For some fields, it is defined in the system that a new version is created when you change a field (for example, creditor, IBAN), as when you use the mandate following such a change the old values have to be sent as well ('amendment'). These fields are defined in table SEPA_SFIELDS for each application.

In addition, you can specify in Customizing (SM30 / V_SEPA_FIELDS) that a new version of the mandate should be created when you change a field for other fields. For the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable application you find this in Customizing under Business Transactions -> Payments -> Incoming/Outgoing Payment Creation -> Define Modifiable Fields.

Example

Mandate is created with version 0 and location = 'A'. If you make a change so the location = 'B, then:

Version    Location

0    B (current version)

1    A (first version)

If you make a further change of location of 'B' to location = 'C', then:

Version    Location

0    C (current version)

1    A (first version)

2    B (second version)
