Prerequisites

in the activities Enter Receiver Codes for Check Escheatment
and Enter Specifications for Check Escheatment
.
Process
In the standard system, escheatment is handled automatically. However, at event 0431, you can intervene in the process flow and identify checks that you want to process manually in Clarification Processing. You can, for example, define event 0431 so that the system transfers checks to manual processing based on their amount and/or the address of the check recipient.
Automatic check escheatment has the following steps:
-
Check creation
At the time the check is created, the system determines the receiver code and the earliest possible start date for the escheatment process, based on the current standard address (region) of the recipient. The system stores this date in the check.
At event 0430, you can change the receiver code and specify one of the following for the check:
-
No escheatment should take place.
-
No escheatment should take place if the check recipient's place of residence is outside of the country.
-
-
Selection of checks for escheatment
-
Creation of notification letters
-
Escheatment
-
Outgoing payment
The payment program automatically creates a payment advice for the recipient (the U.S. state).
-
Clarification and manual check processing
Perform the individual steps in the escheatment process at regular intervals as needed in relation to one another.
You can display checks that are in the escheatment process or already escheated. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic Processing
