Description
From Release 4.0A, the concept for the Interface HR/FI has been changed.Some of these changes have an impact on previously stored third-partyremittance information. These changes are:

• New Currency Field

The previous interface version automatically determined the postingcurrency. In the current version, you must enter the currency.Remittance items which have been written under 3.x, and which have notyet been posted would cause a problem when being processed by thisinterface. Therefore, a new 'Currency' field has been added to the thirdparty remittance table. Enter the currency in this field. (The defaultcurrency is U.S. dollars).

• Only convert items not yet posted

You can define whether to update those items which haven't beentransferred to FI yet, or all items. If you choose to convert only thoseitems which aren't yet posted, it will result in increased performance.However, this will also change the look of the reconciliation reports.

• New four digit symbolic account

The new interface concept operates with a four digit symbolic account.Remittance items written under 3.x still have the two digit format. Thiswill cause problems with the debiting of remittance items in theinterface.
During the upgrade to 4.0, the symbolic accounts are converted by addingthe country modifier in front of the first two digits (D1 -> 10D1 forthe US). You can define the prefix for the symbolic accounts. Theconversion program checks whether this new symbolic account exists. Ifnot, the symbolic account will be displayed in an error log.

Parameters:


• Default currency: Entries in table T51R5 (Interface of third
party remittance - Credit) will be assigned to this currency

• Only items still to post: If you select this checkbox, only those
items which still need to be posted to FI will be assigned a currency.If you do not select this checkbox, all items will be assigned thedefault currency. (Warning: The run time may be long, depending on howmany entries are in the table.

• Prefix of symbolic account: The items in table T51R6 (Interface
of third party remittance - Debit) will be assigned to the new symbolicaccount with the following logic:
Old entry : D1__ Prefix : 10 New Entry : 10D1

• Test: If you select this checkbox, table entries are not updated.
The system simply displays how many entries would be updated per tableand which new symbolic accounts are not yet defined.

Precondition

Output
The third party remittance interface tables will be updated in thefollowing manner:


• The credit items (T51R5) will be assigned a user-defined currency


• The debit items (T51R6) will be assigned to new symbolic accounts
