End-of-Day-Processing

1 Purpose

Although Banking Services from SAP is an online real-time platform for banking operations, there are many processes that require jobs to run after business hours and execute different actions on various contracts in mass processing mode. That brings several benefits:  The performance of the online transactions is not impacted by mass processes that are not required to run immediately. These processes are moved to a time window with less system activity where they can be scheduled easily in parallel to the remaining online activities.  Some processes like account settlement require the current posting day to be finished and can only be executed after all activities of the day are done. That can be achieved by running an end-of-day job chain.  Planning and handling of system load is possible by scheduling certain tasks at night and keeping the sequence of processes in order is mandatory for certain bank processes.

2 Prerequisites

2.1 Master Data and Organizational Data Default Values The organizational structure and master data of your company have been created in your Banking Services system during implementation, to the extent it is required to execute this rapid-deployment solution (for example, business partner, reference account, or internal accounts). The organizational structure reflects the structure of your company with respect to some specific settings such as name, currency, and so on. 2.2 Multiple Entities – Independent Testing Once the content of this rapid-deployment solution has been implemented, it will provide:  One CMU (contract managing unit) with associated Bank Posting Area (0001), which is described in detail in this Business Process Documentation  Up to 20 additional CMUs with associated bank posting areas, which can be used to represent a branch structure and to test the business processes independently (since the posting date is set for each bank posting area and if several people are testing independently, this might differ for each person). The scope of this rapid-deployment solution is to provide one contract managing unit with associated bank posting area to run through the defined life cycle of deposit accounts as described. It may, however, be necessary to have several independent entities for using / testing the processes within the life cycle of these deposit accounts. Therefore, in addition to the entity described in detail in this Business Process Documentation, the possibility of using several additional entities is also mentioned. These entities can be used to:  Represent a type of branch structure

 Test the business processes independently

Independent testing with several entities might be necessary due to the following reasons:  The posting date is set for each bank posting area and must be changed to simulate a deposit life cycle  If several people are testing independently, this might differ for each person For this reason, in addition to the example mentioned within the following sections for entity: Bank Key (*) Bank Name (*) Bank Contract Initial Posting Posting Area Manager (CMU) Date for the (BPA) (*) BPA (*) 12345678 RDS Bank 0001 RDS Bank 03.01.2000 20 additional entities are provided as follows: Bank Key (*) Bank Name (*) Bank Contract Initial Posting Posting Area Manager (CMU) Date for the (BPA) (*) BPA (*) 11111111 RDS Bank Branch 1 BR01 RDS Bnk BR01 03.01.2000 22222222 RDS Bank Branch 2 BR02 RDS Bnk BR02 03.01.2000 33333333 RDS Bank Branch 3 BR03 RDS Bnk BR03 03.01.2000 44444444 RDS Bank Branch 4 BR04 RDS Bnk BR04 03.01.2000 55555555 RDS Bank Branch 5 BR05 RDS Bnk BR05 03.01.2000 66666666 RDS Bank Branch 6 BR06 RDS Bnk BR06 03.01.2000 77777777 RDS Bank Branch 7 BR07 RDS Bnk BR07 03.01.2000 88888888 RDS Bank Branch 8 BR08 RDS Bnk BR08 03.01.2000 99999999 RDS Bank Branch 9 BR09 RDS Bnk BR09 03.01.2000 11112222 RDS Bank Branch 10 BR10 RDS Bnk BR10 03.01.2000 11113333 RDS Bank Branch 11 BR11 RDS Bnk BR11 03.01.2000 11114444 RDS Bank Branch 12 BR12 RDS Bnk BR12 03.01.2000 11115555 RDS Bank Branch 13 BR13 RDS Bnk BR13 03.01.2000 11116666 RDS Bank Branch 14 BR14 RDS Bnk BR14 03.01.2000 11117777 RDS Bank Branch 15 BR15 RDS Bnk BR15 03.01.2000 11118888 RDS Bank Branch 16 BR16 RDS Bnk BR16 03.01.2000 11119999 RDS Bank Branch 17 BR17 RDS Bnk BR17 03.01.2000 22221111 RDS Bank Branch 18 BR18 RDS Bnk BR18 03.01.2000 22223333 RDS Bank Branch 19 BR19 RDS Bnk BR19 03.01.2000 22224444 RDS Bank Branch 20 BR20 RDS Bnk BR20 03.01.2000 If the entities were personalized when the solution was implemented, the values for testing are adjusted accordingly.

To facilitate independent testing, each of the above-mentioned entities can be assigned to a single tester. This enables you to avoid conflicts in the posting date settings and testing can be performed completely independently. Note that each life cycle of a deposits account starts with an initial Posting Date for the Bank Posting Area on 03.01.2000. If you want to test more than one life cycle for each Bank Posting Area, you have to adjust the starting date of the life cycle to the current Posting Date. All other dates mentioned for examples in the respective life cycles have to be adjusted accordingly. If you are not sure what the current posting date is, you can check it as follows: For more details, refer to the corresponding section in the Master Data Procedure Document “Set Posting Date for Payment Transactions” (155.89) The necessary activities to be performed in this step are:  Check Posting Date for Payment Transactions in Deposit Management System  Check Posting Date for End-of-Day Processing 2.3 Disclaimer

Note that certain process steps described in this document will only lead to the specified results if you use the proposed currency (EUR) and the proposed amounts. If you use another currency (such as USD), the proposed amounts would have to be adjusted.
