Fixing the Allocation of
Amount for Auto Payment Programs in SAP
Query:
Is there a provision in SAP to fix the allocation of amounts
for auto payment programs? If so, please describe the process.
Answer:
Yes, you can use T-code OBVCU to specify the amount
available for the payment program.
Understanding OBVCU:
This setting should be configured by a functional consultant,
not the technical team. In OBVCU, you can:
-
Select your company code.
-
Click on Bank Determination.
-
Allocate amounts for outgoing and incoming
payments for each bank.
I assume you are referring to setting an amount limit for
the payment program. If you meant something different, please clarify.
Query:
If a company has three banks in the ranking order for auto
payment runs, can we assign a maximum amount for each bank? If the limit
is reached, will the payment switch to the next bank?
Answer:
Yes, you can rank your company's house banks and set
a maximum limit for each. Payments will be made sequentially based on the
limits set.
