PSCD Revenue Distribution- One Source payment multiple targets

[harikaku]

Hello,

We have a scenario for PSCD where we need to offset/distribute an over payment from one Business Partner (BP)/Contract Account(CA) to multiple Business Partners/Contract Accounts(CAs) as the BP/entity is the same so then we don’t want to process the refund and ask another payment . The system should automatically process the overpayment, distribute it to CA and should have an audit trail in the system for the distribution as well as options for reversing back the amounts

I have explored the following options

Transfer Posting (Transaction FP40): Transfer Posting does internal sub ledger transfer and does invoke the GL transfer. Also it does not allow transfer the overpayment to multiple contract accounts

Revenue Distribution (FP60M): This is the option we are currently exploring as it allows to distribute payments to multiple contract accounts. I need help if revenue distribution can help achieve this. Any input /existing guide will be appreciated. Pasted below is the scenario and outcome needed

I have configured the system as per the two links. However the transaction FP60M does NOT generate proposal even for single source Contract Account (over Payment ) to distribute to single target accounts. If some one has a guide I with a step by step process it would greatly be appreiciated

Hi William,

Any feedback?

[harikaku]

Thanks William. Appreciate your response. I tried the credit clarification processing however it gave me an error because we want to transfer credit with different account determination as the target BP is different id. I get the following message. Any inputs for this?

Reassignment not possible. Different account determination ID 12 35

Message no. FMCA1029

Diagnosis

You want to transfer items between contract accounts or contract objects that have different account determination IDs.

You should investigate credit clarification processing. There you can assign the credit to other partners/accounts as desired. Revenue distribution is not designed to re-allocate uncleared payments, rather to handle payments which clear specific revenue items and ultimately do not belong to the utility company, e.g. trash service is billed by utility on behalf of the municipality, and when payment is received for the trash service it should be forwarded to the municipality instead of being held by the utility company.
