Definition

The payment method for credit memos specifies how credit memos, that is payments to the customer (e.g. check, bank transfer, or bill of exchange), are handled.

Credit memos can either arise directly from a condition item (e.g. for rent reductions) or result from retroactive changes to a condition item for which the debit position has already been posted. The payment method for credit memos is entered in the debit position for all credit postings to the customer that have to be paid.

Procedure

In Real Estate, you define the payment method to be used for credit memos as a default value in Customizing.

Please note that the payment program only offsets the debit posting with the credit posting if the same payment method is defined in the documents.

If you want to settle claims with credit memos, you must either leave both payment methods empty, or define the same payment method for credit memos and claims. The payment method should be changed as soon as it becomes clear that there will be no further claims for this contract and that outstanding payments will be made by check, for example (such as when notice is given in the middle of the month).

Recommendation

The payment method for credit memos usually should not be filled in.
