RE:[sap-log-sd] Only One Batch when Payment Card Settles per G/L Account

Subrata,

"However my understanding on the standard functionality of FCC1 is that it creates packages (batches) per company code, G/L account and transaction currency." - That is a correct understanding. The code is such that you will generate one Settlement batch per Company Code-GL Account-Currency combination.

If you continue to use the standard SAP Settlement program (tcode FCC1, program RFCCSSTT) then the only way you have to generate only a single settlement batch per day via SAP is to change your configuration so that ALL transactions for all card types post to a single GL account. You would then run the Settlement program for that one GL account one time per day. If you want to change this operation then you would need to make a copy of the SAP Settlement program and modify it to generate a single batch across all Company Code-GL Account-Currency combinations.

Another possible solution would be to have the middleware solution (or your service provider) accumulate all the SAP batches and combine them into a single batch prior to submitting the consolidated batch to your processing partner.

These are the only possibilities I am aware of to solve for your business requirement given how SAP has designed the Payment Card Settlement program.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your prompt response and support on this.

Currently business runs this program per day by scheduling a batch job where in selection input had been set in the variant with Multiple GL A/C.

However business needs there should have only one single batch settle per day for G/L account 124040 and 124035 on successful execution of FCC1 and not as individual batch settle for per GL. Ideally they intended for a single batch settle for all the correspondence A/R GL A/c relevant to one Co code as business justification is that If this continues, business may be charged an extra service charge by the bank (service provider) for multiple batches per day when there should only be one single batch settle per day considering of settlement of all the open items for the Multiple G/L.

However my understanding on the standard functionality of FCC1 is that it creates packages (batches) per company code, G/L account and transaction currency.

A unique batch number is assigned to each package.

For each package, the system:
• Creates a settlement document that clears the open items, and creates items in a cash clearing account.
• Starts the transfer of the relevant items to the SERVICECOMPANY.

Appreciate for an amicable and prudent solution on this so the business expectation can be met.

Thanks in anticipation.
Subrata
