Documentation

Definition

Controls the settlement of parked settlement requests using follow-on documents.

Use

You assign the settlement procedure in the Customizing settings for the payment type.

The following settlement procedures are available:

  • Traditional procedure:
    • You can settle the parked settlement requests for the vendor using settlement lists (report RWLF2030) and for the customer using posting lists (report RWLF2010) or customer settlements (report RWLF2014). Always carry out settlement on the vendor side before the customer side. This is controlled by the posting status.

EA Retail must be activated before settlement can take place using settlement request lists.

  • Enhanced procedure:
    • You can settle the parked settlement requests for the vendor using settlement request lists (report RWLF2053) or vendor settlements (report RWLF2050) and for the customer using posting lists (report RWLF2052) or customer settlements (report RWLF2051). Vendor and customer-side settlements are independent of one another. Each vendor and customer settlement is controlled using a separate settlement status.

The documents to be settled are selected using a logical database, which means that you can also use customer-specific fields for the selection.
In addition to vendor or customer settlements, you can also perform settlement at item level so that different items from one settlement request are split into several vendor or customer settlements (also with a time delay if necessary.)
