What are payment run groups and what are their benefits?
With the help of payment run groups you can divide your members into different groups. This allows you to better plan the collection of your receivables. You can name the payment run groups flexibly and add a short description text. For example, if you have a group of members that should always be collected on the 15th of the month, you can assign them to a separate payment run group.
How do I create payment run groups?
To create a payment run group, go to Settings / Finance / Payment run groups. Use the button "Add payment run group" in the upper right corner to create a new payment run group.
In the form you can enter the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the payment run group. |
| Description | Free text for a more detailed description of the group. |
| Collection account | Optional: the bank account used for direct debit collection for members of this payment run group. |
| "Set payment run group at contract conclusion also at member level" | If enabled, the payment run group stored on the contract is automatically also applied to the member account when the contract is concluded. |
For your personal convenience, describe your payment run group in the provided field and use a meaningful name.
Edit or delete a payment run group
Existing payment run groups can be edited or deleted using the three-dot menu at the end of the line. If there are still members in a payment run group that you want to remove, you will of course be notified. Members without an assigned payment run group can still be integrated into a payment run. A payment run group cannot be removed if payment runs have already been carried out with it.
Setting the types of receivables for a payment run group
Via the three-dot menu of a payment run group you can also specify which types of receivables are collected through this payment run group. Select "Edit types of receivables". The types of receivables are divided into three groups:
| Group | Examples |
|---|---|
| Fees | Contract fee, start package fee, flat fee, freeze period fee, trial period fee |
| Charges | Reversal charge, return debit charge, dunning fee, cancellation fee, address determination charge, service charge, replacement card charge |
| Other receivables | Manually created claim, receivables from sales, compensation for damages, no-show fee |
