A Commercial Account Summary message enables the transmission of
commercial data concerning payments made and outstanding items on an account over a period
of time. The message may be exchanged by trading partners or may be sent by parties to
their authorised agents (e.g. accountants).
A Commercial Account Summary may;
- refer
to Invoices, Credit Notes, Debit Notes, or payments over a period of time.
- refer
to only one commercial account, in one payment currency.
- be
initiated at any time by a party, depending upon agreement between the parties involved.
- provide
information on a commercial account over a period of time. When the message is used in
this way both payments made and amounts outstanding may be detailed.
- be
used to provide aged analysis details on payments made and, or, amounts outstanding over
periods defined by the parties.
- be
used as a reminder of payment due for the current accounting period.
- be
used as a demand for payment and detail penalties for amounts outstanding from previous
accounting periods.
- be
used to help in the reconciliation of commercial accounts when detailing payments made.
- be
used to summarise other forms of commercial data such as pro-forma invoices.
The Commercial Account Summary can also be used as a response to a
previous Commercial Account Summary. In that way it may be:
- An
acknowledgement of receipt and understanding of data;
- A
confirmation of acceptance;
- A
notification of non-acceptance of all or part of the message;
- A
COACSU response may refer to one or more outstanding items (e.g. Invoices);
- A
COACSU may be responded to by one response message.
