This parameter is used to set up a link between the pre-payment requests on sales orders and the management of open items and payments in the A/P-A/R Accounting module.

The posting of a payment on an invoice or a pre-payment request is based on the notion of open item, since a single invoice can be associated with one or several payment due dates. Each open item is defined namely by its number and by the type of journal to which it is attached. In the case of invoices, the type of journal associated with the open item is defined by the invoice itself. In the case of pre-payment requests, no upstream recording allows the type of journal to be identified.

The BPCORDTYP parameter value is used to define the type of journal to be associated with a customer pre-payment request.

It is not necessary to have previously created the corresponding type of journal since it only corresponds to a mere artificial means.
