Definition

Key that identifies a contract account uniquely per client.

Use

The postings in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable are always assigned to a contract account and a business partner.

In the contract account master record, specific to the business partner you can define procedures to be applied for further processing of line items. These include payment methods, dunning procedure, tolerances.

Note

For utility and insurance companies, a contract is assigned to exactly one contract account. However a contract account can have several contracts assigned to it - depending on the contract account category.
