Edit Standing Requests
Application component: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  You can use a standing request to enter incoming and outgoing payments for which several documents are to be posted with regularly recurring due dates in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. 
Key features:  Creating, Changing, and Deleting Standing Requests In transaction Edit Standing Request, in the menu under Request, you create a standing request with execution dates. Enter the header data in the upper part of the screen. Enter the execution dates. The execution period defines the due dates with which the individual FI-CA documents are generated. You can do the following:Specify multiple execution periods for the due datesSpecify several execution periods if request items, such as the amount or the business partner, change in a standing request in the usage period. Add special dates Remove special datesIf more than one execution period exists for a standing request, these periods are displayed in a dropdown box. There, you can choose between the different execution periods whether the system is to generate the FI-CA documents periodically within the execution period based on the frequency and interval or for each run date of an execution plan.  Enter the items in the lower part of the screen.You can set payment, dunning, interest, and clearing locks that are then transferred to the documents when these are created. However, for each request item and lock, you can only set one lock reason and one validity period.You can enter standing requests with a tax code that contains several tax rates. The tax amount calculated and displayed in the item results from the total of the amounts for the individual tax rates. Save your entries.  The system saves each standing request under a request number. When you save a standing request, the system does not generate a document, meaning that no transaction figures are updated. You post the FI-CA documents separately in the Create Documents from Standing Requests transaction in the menu under Request  Create Documents. The system checks whether the execution periods overlap. When you save the standing request, the system automatically checks the data for consistency. However, if you choose the option Save without Checking in the menu under Standing Request, the system does not make any consistency checks. This means that you can also change and complete standing requests at a later point in time. If you enter notes for a standing request, these are transferred to the notes for the documents when you create the documents. You can also edit standing requests: Display standing requests Change standing requests Reverse standing requests Create standing requests with template  Enter the standing request number and choose the relevant pushbutton. For each change, the system writes a change document. However, you can only change a standing request provided that no document has yet been created from it or provided that the change does not affect any documents that have already been posted.If you have standing requests checked as part of an approval workflow, you can still change and delete these requests if the standing requests have already been released. Each time you confirm an entry and save a standing request, event 6500 is processed. In this event, you can add to or overwrite the data for standing request items. To do so, enter your own installation-specific function module for event 6500 in the Implementation Guide for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, under: Program Enhancements  Define Customer-Specific Function Modules. See the documentation for function module FKK_SAMPLE_6500. If you choose Save Without Checking, the system does not process event 6500. In addition to the functions specified above, you can also print a standing request in the Edit Standing Request transaction. From the menu, choose Standing Request  Print. You print by using correspondence type 0039. All execution dates and special dates are available for printing.  Displaying Standing Requests You can also display standing requests in the transaction Display Documents Created from Standing Requests by choosing Request  Display Evaluations. The system also displays the documents created for each standing request. You can select the standing requests by request number, document date, and posting date. You can restrict the selection further if you only want to display standing requests for reversed documents or with a specific request status. You can also display standing requests that have already been archived. The system displays this information in the ABAP List Viewer. The standard functions for processing lists are available there.  History Comparison You can use the compare function to ensure that reversed FI-CA documents are no longer considered for standing requests. You can compare the history for standing requests in the transaction Compare Documents Created from Standing Requests, under Request  Evaluations. You should run this comparison on a regular basis.
