Payment scheme termination

Question

Hi Experts,
I have created a function module which will call a standard function module ' ISU_PAYSCHEME_TERMINATE'. Can any tell me how this FM will work and where can I see its effect?

You use transaction E61PSD or method TERMINATE of BOR object PAYSCHEME to end a payment
scheme.
Select a payment scheme that you want to end and enter the end date. If you have maintained table
Payment Scheme Deactivation Reason (TE561), enter a deactivation reason as well. This has no effect
on the deactivation process and is not analyzed by the system. However, you can use it at a later point intime to analyze the deactivated payment schemes.
Once you have entered the end date, the system checks whether payment scheme requests that have
already been paid exist after the end date. If this is the case, the end date is set to the next due date plus
one day.
Depending on the sequence of the end date and the first payment date of the payment scheme, the
system proceeds as follows:
u2022 If the end date lies before the first payment date of the payment scheme, the payment scheme is
deleted from the database. If you have already created statistical requests for this payment scheme,
they are cleared.
u2022 If the end date lies after the first payment date of the payment scheme, the system executes the
following actions:
a. The payment scheme sample line that is active on the end date is prorated so that its end
date is the same as the end date of the payment scheme. A new sample line is created for
the part of the sample line that comes after the end date.
b. All payment scheme sample lines with a start date that comes after the end date are
deactivated.
c. The end date and, if necessary, the deactivation reason are entered in the payment scheme
header data.
d. All statistical requests with due dates that lie after the end date are cleared.
Payment schemes that are ended this way remain active until the end date. You can either change
the payment scheme manually or during creation of an interim or periodic bill. You can also create
statistical requests for this payment scheme. You can change the end date again as long as the
new date comes before the end date that was entered previously.
In order to ensure that a payment scheme can no longer be changed, you must deactivate it once it
has ended. You do this by creating an interim or periodic bill with a billing period that contains the
end date of the payment scheme. During creation of this bill, all payment scheme requests that
have not yet been paid are cleared. Requests with due dates that come after the most recent
interim or periodic bill and that have already been paid are settled against the current consumption
billing when the bill is created. Any overpayments can be refunded at a later point in time. The
system removes the clearing restriction u201CRu201D from all items that were transferred to the payment
scheme that have not yet been paid.
If the interim/periodic bill is reversed, the entire process is cancelled. This means that the clearing of
the paid requests against the transferred items and the current consumption billing is also reversed.
All items that had the clearing restriction u201CRu201D before the bill was created are assigned it again.
u2022 If you enter the current date as the end date, the system may react differently to the above
description. This happens when event Automatic Account Maintenance When Payment Scheme is
Ended (R531) returns parameter X_NO_ACC_MAIN (No Automatic Account Maintenance When PS
is Ended) with the value " ". When the payment scheme is ended, the system carries out integrated
automatic account maintenance. In account maintenance, all payment scheme requests that were
paid after the last interim/periodic bill are settled against all the open items that were transferred to
the payment scheme. If the payments are not enough to clear the items, the clearing restriction u201CRu201D
is removed from the remaining open items. If the amount paid is too high, the clearing restriction u201CRu201D
is removed from the payment scheme request payments that are not required for account
maintenance. You can either refund the customer directly or settle the excess payment in the next
consumption billing.
