The Booking Type offers the following for selection:
-
Charge
-
Commission - distinction to “Fee” only relevant for statistical purposes
-
All-in Fee - a fee defined in this way can be used as an all-in fee
-
VAT - a fee defined in this way can be used as VAT
-
Check External Fee - used in business sector 'check' as part of a check route agreement, it may have been arranged with the collecting back what fee it is entitled to for collecting the payment documents. This fee is to be stored for the check route in the static data and must be designated as a “check external fee” in the definition of the fee. Within the business transaction “check presentation”, this fee is then treated as a pass through charge to be deducted from the countervalue of the checks to the presenter but credited to the collecting back at a later stage or at certain intervals
“All-in” fee is then used instead of the single fee. Several single fees with the same “All-in” fee mean that the fee is only charged once.
"VAT" is calculated on the fee amount and added to it.
The “Income” checkbox is to be checked when the revenues represent income for the bank (e.g. processing fees), as opposed to charges, which represent a replacement of expenses incurred by the bank (e.g. postage).
The income account that recognizes the fee is specified in the “Account” field.
The “Accruing account” tag indicates the internal interim account to which fees to be accrued are posted.
The period for which the fee is to apply is determined by the “Begin date” and “End date” fields. The fee can only be used during these two dates.
If the checkbox “Modification of Description Allowed in Settlement” is checked, then the fee description can be changed in the Settlement panel.
The “Usable in” field is used to define the business sector and the transactions in which the fee can be used. If the field is left empty there are no restrictions on use. Otherwise, permitted sectors are defined by their two-digit sector code and transactions by their transaction code. Both codes are preceded by a plus sign.
After the fee has been saved, the user is automatically taken to the Adding a Condition transaction. DBAFEC. This allows the required conditions to be captured.
