UseCollection and Disbursement (PSCD) is the industry-specific solution of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for

the Public Sector. For historical reasons this solution is also called Public Sector Contract Accounting. It enables you to

manage taxes, charges and state benefits from/for business partners and/or citizens, students and taxpayers. To do

this, the business partners (citizen, student or taxpayer), their accounts (citizen accounts, student accounts or taxaccounts) and contract objects (objects for taxes and state benefits) including the related business transactions are

managed in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

In the following, the termbusiness partner is used to represent citizens, students or taxpayers.

Master data management for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable makes it possible to link together business

partners, contract accounts and contract objects in all possible combinations. At contract object level, you can create a

direct representation of individual receivables or commitments in the system.

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, in the sense of customer accounting, is set up to allow the demand and

processing of mass data and is administrated as an independent subledger, separate from the general ledger in the

Financial Accounting component. System performance is improved by usingContract Accounts Receivable and

Payable because the mass processing of individual documents is managed in Contract Accounts Receivable andPayable and the runtime-intensive exchange of update-relevant data as totals records on one side and offline on the

other side is not executed online but at given points in time (overnight, for example). In addition to Financial

Accounting, integration between other components such as Funds Management (PSM-FM), Controlling (CO) and Sales

and Distribution (SD) also occurs.
