Automatic Recall from Collection Agencies via API

You can now automatically recall collection items when confirmation data arrives via the API Collection Agency – Confirmation. This eliminates manual intervention and enhances sync with external collection agencies.

Intraday Bank Statement Processing

To process intraday bank statements more efficiently, FPB7P-Transfer Run for Bank Statements is now capable of automatically importing bank statements at regular intervals into payment and return lots – only new data being transferred at each interval.

Track Payment Status Globally with SWIFT GPI Tracker

SAP now supports unique End-to-End Transaction Reference (UETR) tracking for outgoing SWIFT payments that use SAP payment formats, providing Treasury teams the ability to monitor payment status globally via SWIFT GPI Tracker.

G/L Item Visibility during Write-Offs

In General Ledger, items simulated and posted for write-offs during single document write-offs are now visible compared with mass write-offs only (FP04M). This increases auditability and financial transparency.

Collection Strategies in Dunning Proposal Runs

Now you can select collection strategies directly when scheduling a dunning proposal run, providing tailored dunning approaches based on customer risk profiles. Consultant tip: Allows for differentiated dunning approaches explicitly tailored for customers.

Payment Card Token Storage in Provider Contracts

Contract items can now refer to stored business partner payment cards or one-time cards issued through SAP Digital Payments (token-based), both of which can be managed using SOAP APIs or BAPIs.
Impact: Secure and flexible card payment processing for subscription and usage-based billing is achieved.

Reversing Documents with Direct G/L Updates

Now, Possible Documents posted with direct G/L updates can be reversed with direct G/L transfers using the Reverse Documents App, providing cleaner reversals and reduced reconciliation effort.

Contract Master Data in BP Financial Overview App

The Business Partner Financial Overview (F2429) app now displays contract master data, providing finance and collections teams with single-pane visibility of their contracts.

Divergent Invoicing

Billing document items can now be designated either print-relevant or posting-relevant independently, with costs postings being left off of customer invoices while still being posted to finance. As an example: Cost postings may be left off customer invoices while still being posted to finance.

Outcome: Cleaner invoices that meet customer demands without accounting compromises.

Subscription Order Management (SOM)


Change Usage-Based Scenarios:

You can now modify SAP Convergent Charging parameters and cross-catalog mapping versions through Solution Quotations (A2X)*SOM OData APIs. Use case: Flexible tariff updates.

Insights Cards for SOM Apps

Master Agreements Now Support Target Quantities

Now available are master agreements which support target quantities as well as released quantities; this allows partial releases through call-off documents, making them ideal for framework agreements or phased consumption models.

SAP Convergent Charging now supports the rerating of shared allowances with strict validation rules for this feature. All products within a subscription must support rerating uniformly to ensure an equitable experience.

Subscriptions with Recurring Physical Deliveries

Now subscriptions can also include the delivery of physical goods modeled by bundles or BOMs. Sales orders are automatically created based on delivery plans; industry applications may include utilities, consumables and equipment-as-a-service offerings.

Quality Notifications for Returns
