Bankruptcies Can Cause Suppression

When obligations are included in a bankruptcy case, penalty and interest and collection activity can be suppressed for these obligations.

The type of bankruptcy determines whether or not suppression is applicable. Bankruptcy types that cause suppression should specify a suppression type.

Suppressions can be automatically created when the bankruptcy goes into a certain state. The C1-Bankruptcy business object has an algorithm C1-BK-CRTSPR that creates and activates suppression when the bankruptcy enters the Review In Progress state.

During the course of the bankruptcy case, obligations may get added to or removed from the bankruptcy. In some exceptional cases, the petition date may change, which may cause some obligations to become ineligible. If suppression already exists, adding / removing obligations to / from the bankruptcy will also add / remove them to / from the suppressed entities.

Suppressions can be automatically released when the debt is discharged. Your implementation will need to build your discharge processing logic (e.g. write off) based on your specific business rules. That logic can be plugged in directly on the Discharged state or configured in overdue processing.

The base product provides two algorithms that you can use, depending on the option you choose:

Suppression can be automatically canceled when the bankruptcy is canceled. The C1-Bankruptcy business object has an algorithm C1-BK-CNLSPR that does this.
