General parameters > Chapter Common Data > Parameter OSTDRAFT (Customer credit notes P/R amt.)

Draft amount in balance

This parameter is designed to operate with the Update authorized credit level field at the general accounts level. The result obtained is visible in the BP situation / Risk tab inquiry which can be accessed from the customer record.

Parameterization possibilities:

Chart of accounts: Tab Update authorized credit level. This flag is used to update (or not) the BP Accounting balance.

OSTDRAFT Parameter: Updates (or not) the Total credit by taking into account the item amounts in draft management.

Management possibilities:

The combination of the listed parameters is used to decide at what moment the firm considers that a draft is no longer part of the customer risk (thus the accounting balance and authorized credit level).

This management can be summarized to the following question: When do you consider that it is appropiate to deduct the Accounting balance and Total credit from the draft value in draft management?

on draft management posting?
or when the draft is posted to the bank?
or on draft transfer?

Example 1: Let us consider the risk until the draft (EUR 1000) is posted to draft management:

Draft collective account: Update authorized credit level = No

OSTDRAFT: No

	Starting situation	Draft management posting	Bank deposit	Draft transfer
Accounting balance	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)	2000	2000
Draft no.1		(+) 1000	1000	(-) 1000
Total credit	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)	2000	2000

Example 2: Let us consider the risk until the draft (EUR 1000) is posted to the bank:

Draft collective account: Update authorized credit level = Yes

OSTDRAFT: No:

	Starting situation	Draft management posting	Bank deposit	Draft transfer
Accounting balance	3000	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)	2000
Draft no.1		(+) 1000	1000	(-) 1000
Total credit	3000	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)	2000

Example 3: Let us consider the risk until the draft (EUR 1000) is transferred:

Draft collective account: Update authorized credit level = No

OSTDRAFT: Yes

	Starting situation	Draft management posting	Bank deposit	Draft transfer
Accounting balance	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)	2000	2000
Draft no.1		+ 1000	1000	0 (1000-1000)
Total credit	3000	3000	3000	2000 (3000 –1000)

Comments

This management method authorizes several possible combinations. An inconsistent parameterization consists in updating both the accounting balance and the authorized total credit (Credit update = Yes and OSTDRAFT = Yes).
