Description

This report should be run at least once a day.
The due date you select for the posting run determines the selectionfor HR payee items. It should be on or before the day you want to remityour third party payments. When you enter this date in the Due date
field, you should also use the "Less than or equal to"selection option to be sure that you catch any earlier outstandingremittance items.

Process

Normal remittance items
Normal remittance items (those that do not involve accumulators) arehandled as follows:
Based on your selection, the system selects all payee items (includingthose that are already posted, but not paid) to determine the new duedates, which are then compared against the due date entered. Whateveris due within the given due date period is then included in the finalposting documents.

Accumulated remittance items
The report checks all accumulators with check dates that fall within anassociated collection period/transfer interval. Thehighest check date within a collection period that actually triggers arule event will determine the new due date. Afterdetermining the new due date, those HR payee items that are due withinthe given due date period are included in the posting run.
If due dates are changed, the corresponding HR payee entries aremodified in T51R5. For items already posted, the posting run creates alist with necessary changes in the corresponding FI document (see also:HR reference document number below).

Linked remittance items
The link originator is treated as a normal remittance item, but alllinked HR payees are included in the posting run regardless of theirdue date (mostly in the future). This means that the old due date ischanged into the new one.
