1. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CUSTOMER MASTER RECORDS
1.1 Customer Account Number, Account Groups & Number Ranges

The customer account number is the unique number used to identify the customer.
An account group is a collection of properties of accounts, which determine the creation of master
records.
Customer account groups are used to determine:
1. The interval for account numbers
2. Whether the account number is assigned internally by the system or externally by the user
3. Whether it is a one-time account
4. Which fields are ready for input or must be filled when creating or changing master records (i.e.,
the field status).
Each master record must be assigned to an account group.

1.3 Matchcodes for Customer Accounts

A matchcode allows the user to locate a particular record in the system by entering information contained in the record.
1.4 Line Item Display

Line item display refers to the display of line items from one or more customer accounts. The settings for line items display include:
Line item sorting for line items: the standard order for sorting line items
Line layout: the information that is to be available on the screen when displaying line items
Special fields for selecting/finding/sorting data
Selection fields: the fields the user may specify, via which the system is to select assets, customers, vendor, materials or G/L accounts.
Totals variants: the fields by which the line items are to be totalled
Standard line layout and standard totals variant: the information that is to be available as standard when displaying line items
Additional fields
Search fields: the fields the user may specify, via which it is possible for the system to find individual items
Sort fields: the fields the user may specify, via which it is possible for the system to sort items
Page: 10 of 38
Total fields: the fields the user may specify, via which it is possible for the system to total items

1.5 Customer Accounts - Settings for Processing Open Items

Open items are unfinished transactions. The settings for processing open items include:
Line layout: the information that is to be available on the screen when processing open items
Standard line layout: the information that is to be available as standard when processing line items
Selection fields: the fields the user may specify, via which the system is to make selections when processing line items
Sort fields: the fields the user may specify, via which it is possible for the system to sort items.
Open items are unfinished transactions. The open items of an account can only be cleared when you post an identical offsetting amount to
the account. The balance resulting from the items allocated to each other must therefore be zero.
When you clear these items, the system issues them a clearing document number and the clearing date. This is a way of marking, for
example, invoices on a customer account as paid and explaining the items in a bank clearing account.
You can only clear open items that have been posted to accounts managed on an open item basis. Customer and vendor accounts are
always managed with open items.

2. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE VENDOR MASTER RECORDS

2.1 Vendor Account Number, Account Groups & Number Ranges
The vendor account number is the unique number used to identify the vendor.
An account group is a collection of properties of accounts, which determine the creation of master records.
Vendor account groups are used to determine:
1. The interval for account numbers
2. Whether the account number is assigned internally by the system or externally by the user
3. Whether it is a one-time account
4. Which fields are ready for input or must be filled when creating or changing master records (i.e., the field status).
Each master record must be assigned to an account group.
Please refer to the next page for the examples of account group and number range details.
Page: 12 of 38

Account Group
External Vendors
Number Range
100001 899999
Description
General rule: only one vendor account number (code) is to
exist for each vendor globally.
The code does not contain any implicit local content, nor
any perceived 'built-in' intelligence or coding. It simply will
be a running number, next available, when creating a new
vendor in SAP R/3 Vendor Master Record.
The Vendor Master Records are centrally stored in SAP
R/3. This ensures that the data is not duplication. Each
master record contains three data categories:
General Data
Company Code Data, and
Purchasing Organisation Data
One-Time Vendors
(external)
900001 900999
Six digit numeric code to be used for external one-time

vendors. The code does not contain any implicit local
content, nor any perceived 'built-in' intelligence or coding. It
simply will be a running number, next available, when
creating a one-time vendor in R/3 Vendor Master Record.
The code will be assigned to a 'master group', which can be
structured i.e. in alphabetical order one code for A to D,

Account Group
Number Range
Description
another code for E to H, To this 'master group' numerous
one-time vendors can be posted, without giving a code for
each one-time vendor. Only necessary contact and bank
information are entered when posting.
The one-time vendor account group will be used when there
is strong indication that a specific vendor will no longer be
used, or will be used less frequently. In these cases the
vendor master record must be separately created.

A simple unique eight digit numeric identifier assigned on a
global basis that does not contain any implicit local content,
nor any perceived 'built-in' intelligence or coding.
As soon as the SAP R/3 Human resources module incl.
Personnel administration and Travel expenses are in use
the employees will be deleted as a account group in the
vendor master records and transferred into SAP R/3 HR
master data.

Line item display refers to the display of line items from one or more vendor accounts. The settings for line items display include:
Line item sorting for line items: the standard order for sorting line items
Line layout: the information that is to be available on the screen when displaying line items
Special fields for selecting/finding/sorting data
Selection fields: the fields the user may specify, via which the system is to select assets, customers, vendor, materials or G/L accounts.
Totals variants: the fields by which the line items are to be totalled
Standard line layout and standard totals variant: the information that is to be available as standard when displaying line items

2.5 Vendor Accounts - Settings for Processing Open Items

Open items are unfinished transactions. The settings for processing open items include:
Line layout: the information that is to be available on the screen when processing open items
Standard line layout: the information that is to be available as standard when processing line items
Selection fields: the fields the user may specify, via which the system is to make selections when processing line items
Sort fields: the fields the user may specify, via which it is possible for the system to sort items.
Open items are unfinished transactions. The open items of an account can only be cleared when you post an identical offsetting amount to
the account. The balance resulting from the items allocated to each other must therefore be zero.
When you clear these items, the system issues them a clearing document number and the clearing date. This is a way of marking, for
example, invoices on a customer account as paid and explaining the items in a bank clearing account.
You can only clear open items that have been posted to accounts managed on an open item basis. Customer and vendor accounts are
always managed with open items.
Page: 28 of 38
3. PAYMENTS
Examples:
Bank transfer
Netting, and
Cheque
Only one bank will be used for outgoing payments. Payment by bank transfer and cheque is to be performed via only one global Bank Link
System. All payments should be made by one global section. A payment proposal file will be prepared locally in SAP R/3 and sent to the
global section. This section will prepare a file containing what vendors and invoices have been paid and the corresponding payment
date(s).
The following benefits have been identified as arising from centralising the payments process:
Economies of scale
Better currency hedging
Easier intercompany reconciliation
Better cash flow planning
Possibility of extending Bank Link System, EDI's, resulting in a reduction in bank fees and allowing easier invoice matching
Page: 30 of 38
4. RECEIPTS
Example: Centralized Collection and Electronic Bank Statement Process
Receipts are suggested to be collected by the local banks, and each bank will send a balance report to the bank. Global section will
collect all the reports, and will compile one file with all the reports for uploading into SAP R/3 via the Electronic Bank Statement
Process.
Page: 32 of 38
5. TERMS OF PAYMENT
5.1 Terms of Payment
Examples:
The terms of payment represent the discounts that have been defined in relation to a baseline date.
Payment terms are determined via negotiation with the vendor. The calculation of the discount to be applied to an invoice is determined by
reference to both the payment terms assigned to the vendor, and the baseline date. (The baseline date is usually the posting date, however
the system may be defaulted to use either the document date or the posting date).
The terms of payment are stored under a terms of payment key. The terms of payment is then defaulted from the key specified in the line
item, or if it has been defined in the vendor (or customer) master record, from the master record.
The most important data contained in terms of payment is:
The invoice date
The due date of the invoice
The cash discount periods
The cash discount percentage rates
These specifications are required in order to calculate the cash discount amount.
5.2 Cash Discount Base
In some countries the tax amount must be taken into consideration in the base amount for calculating the cash discount amount.
Page: 34 of 38
6. TOLERANCE GROUPS
Tolerances are used for dealing with differences in payment and residual items which can occur during a payment settlement. Tolerance
groups represent the difference sets of tolerances to be used in the organisation.
Examples:
Each vendor should be allocated a tolerance group. The tolerance limits defined for a tolerance group will determine whether an over or
underpayment may be processed without being rejected or requiring further authorisation.
7. DUNNING
Dunning is the process of reminding customers that they owe you money for overdue invoices. The system processes line items and prints
dunning notices (reminders) with the name and address of the customer, the text you specify, and the overdue line items from customer
invoices.
Dunning is carried out automatically using the dunning program. The program determines the accounts and items to be dunned, the
dunning level of the account and the dunning notice based on the dunning level. You print the dunning notices using the print program. The
dunning data determined is saved in the items and in the accounts.
The basic parameters for dunning are set up in the dunning procedure. Several dunning procedures can be assigned to one customer.
Only those customers that have a dunning procedure defined in their master record are included in the dunning run.
The most important parameters of the dunning procedure are:
The dunning interval (i.e., level of severity of reminder notice)
The number of dunning levels
The grace periods
The specification of what items may be dunned
The dunning level is determined by the number of days in arrears. Dunning charges can be separately specified for each currency, and can
be made dependent on the dunning amount at each level. The dunning charge can also be determined as a percentage of the items due.
Minimum amounts may be specified so as to prevent sending dunning notices for immaterial amounts. Furthermore, a dunning block can
be set in the document or the customer master record to prevent a dunning notice from being generated for a particular customer.
Page: 36 of 38
8. DOWN PAYMENTS
Down payments are also known as prepayments. A down payment is a special G/L transaction and occurs when payment is made (or
received) for a good or service that is to be received (or delivered) at some point in the future. A down payment is normally made at the
request of the vendor. Therefore, a down payment can be paid to a vendor, or received from a customer.
9. SPECIAL G/L TRANSACTIONS

Special G/L transactions include transactions such as:
Down payments
Bills of exchange
Guarantees
Security deposits
Specific reserves for bad debts
Amortisation
Interest receivable
When posting a item for a customer account that is a special G/L item, that item is posted to a special G/L account (as opposed to the
reconciliation account defined in the customer master record).
