Description:  This function enables you to create and edit payment items from the dialog. In addition to normal payment items, you can create the following special payment items:  Backdated payment items  Payment items that are posted to CpD accounts  
Key features:    Payment Item Checks  You cannot override formal checks when you create a payment item. For more information about checks, see Payment Item Checks. The Administration tab page displays details about the checks, such as whether the checks were successful or switched off.   Release Procedure for the Post Activity  When you post a payment item:  If you have not set up the release process, the system changes the payment item status to Posted.  If you have set up the release process, depending on criteria defined for the release procedure, the system flags the payment item for release by changing the payment status to In Release Process.  Subsequently, another user with the appropriate authorization releases the payment item, which then changes the payment item status to Posted. If you define multiple levels of release, the payment item continues to have the status In Release Process until it is released by the last approver. If the approver rejects the payment item, the system changes the payment item status to In Postprocessing. You can define a release workflow for payment items in Customizing for Bank Customer Accounts (BCA) by choosing Account Management  Release  Release Payment Items. For more information, see Release Object PAYITEM (Payment Item).
