High- Level Specification

Functional Overview

This program will support the automation of the reversal of the payment orders  ( IHB contracts )  based on standard features.

Scope and Objectives

The project involves the implementation of a factoring solution within In-House Bank (IHB) using the S/4 Hana FI/IHB module. This system is designed to handle transfer of AP/AR items  that are relevant for factoring, to the IHB center for further collection/payable management.

This enhancement covers the reversal of them in case is needed.

Design Rationale

Functional Requirements

A custom program will be created for reverse the payment orders received from the subsidiaries or manually created. These are the following scenarios that will be covered: 

▪ Items for Release: Payment transactions that are awaiting user authorization or release

▪ Items Received: Lists payments that have been received into the system but have not yet entered further processing. 

▪ Items in Repair: Payments that contain errors or require correction before they can be processed further. 

▪ Blocked Items: Payments that have been automatically or manually blocked 

It will be created a Fiori app to access by business to it but also a program to be executed / used by other programs in case of specific events.

Selection Screen

In the selection screen the following fields should appear:

• Clearing Area
• Payment Order Number
• Company Code
• Payment Scenario
• Processing Status
• Created On
• Created By 
• Direction
• …

Like in the Manage Payments One but adding the recall reason.

Once the selection is done the program use the recall function the Recall function is to stop the payment before it is sent out to the bank bringing the recall reason selected

Notifications to subsidiaries

When a Payment Order is recalled, a system driven notification mechanism should be implemented. The proposed solution is to trigger an automated notification depending on if the subsidiary is in S/4 or not (reuse existing custom table) :

• email in case the subsidiary is not in S/4 : The email from the subsidiary will be retrieve from the BP email information linked to IHB notifications.

Subject: Payment Rejection Notification

Dear [Subsidiary Name],

We regret to inform you that your recent payment attempt of [amount] on [date] has been unsuccessful and was rejected by our system.

Reason for Rejection:
[Insert reason here from the recall reason added in the recall process*.]

Please review the details and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue:

• Verify payment details.
• If you need assistance, contact our support team at [phone/email].

Once the issue is resolved, you may retry the payment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

Thank you.

Payment details:

• Document Number
• Fiscal Year 
• Document Date
• Posting Date 
• Document Type
• Reference Document  
• Customer  /  Vendor 
• Header Text 
• Sales Order 
• SD Billing 
• Payment Ref 
• Reference Key 1
• Reference Key 2
• Reference Key 3 

Whenever a Payment Order is cancelled or reversed in SAP. This notification will inform the subsidiary that the payment will not be executed and must be reinitiated if still required.

After this or in parallel it should be removed the accounting entries generated  for : 

• Header invoice registration  ( and clearing if applied ) . This information will be retrieved from the payment item information of the company code that owens 
• the internal bank account: 

• • Document Number (BELNR): Unique identifier for the accounting document 
  • Fiscal Year (GJAHR): Fiscal year of the document posting
  • Document Date (BLDAT): Date on the document

• Subsidiary clearing document ( ( and clearing if applies ) . This information will be retrieved from the payment item information of the BP that owns the internal bank account: 

• • Document Number (BELNR): Unique identifier for the accounting document 
  • Fiscal Year (GJAHR): Fiscal year of the document posting
  • Document Date (BLDAT): Date on the document

Whenever a Payment Order is cancelled or reversed in SAP. This notification will inform the subsidiary that the payment will not be executed and must be reinitiated if still required.

After this or in parallel it should be removed the accounting entries generated  for : 

• Header invoice registration  ( and clearing if applied ) . This information will be retrieved from the payment item information of the company code that owes the internal bank account: 

• • Document Number (BELNR): Unique identifier for the accounting document 
  • Fiscal Year (GJAHR): Fiscal year of the document posting
  • Document Date (BLDAT): Date on the document

• Subsidiary clearing document ( ( and clearing if applies ) . This information will be retrieved from the payment item information of the BP that owns the internal bank account: 

• • Document Number (BELNR): Unique identifier for the accounting document 
  • Fiscal Year (GJAHR): Fiscal year of the document posting
  • Document Date (BLDAT): Date on the document

From the header invoice registration I can get the subsidiary document . And the subsidiary document I can get from the REFERENCE DOC _DOC in the subsidiary:

/PF1/DB_ORDER Field         ACDOCA Field   

MANDTR                                     CLNT                   Client matching

COMPANY_CODER                    BUKRS                   Company code alignment

REFERENCE_DOC                       BELNR                   Document reference

ORDER_ID                                 AWREF                    Reconciliation key mapping 

Volumetrics

This volume is estimated to be approx: 10000
