On this page, you will find information about disposition groups in Lucanet Banking & Cash Management (BCM). A disposition group defines which bank accounts BCM manages together. The disposition group links multiple accounts with a disposition method and defines under which conditions BCM transfers funds between these accounts.
The Disposition groups workspace can be found under Banking & Cash Management | Cash management | Disposition groups and is displayed as follows, for example:
The basic data of a disposition group contains the following options:

On the Accounts tab, you activate the check boxes of the bank accounts that BCM manages in this disposition group. BCM can only manage accounts that are connected to a bank, for example via EBICS. The accounts must be created in the Master data functional area.
The Disposition suggestions tab displays all disposition suggestions of this disposition group with the creation time in the Created at column and the status in the State column. You can review, edit, approve, or decline individual disposition suggestions. When you approve a disposition suggestion, BCM creates a payment order from the suggestion.
Using the + New button on the tab or Create disposition suggestion in the toolbar of the disposition group, you create a disposition suggestion for this group manually. Using Link and Unlink, you assign existing disposition suggestions to the group or remove the assignment.
