DRM Transaction Type
Non commodity-based transactions are transactions that do not have a Commodity tab and therefore, cannot reference transactions with a Commodity line. Non commodity-based transactions are referred to as Accounting Based (ABS) transactions. The Disbursement Request Modification allows you to request certain fields on the Disbursement Request table to be modified after the payment request has been submitted to final. When the Disbursement Request transaction is submitted to final, the applicable fields on Disbursement Request will be updated. If allowed by Transaction Control (DCTRL) setting, the Disbursement Request transaction may be modified to make additional changes to Disbursement Request table records. Cancelling of the DRM transaction is disallowed because DRM cancellation does not update DISRQ records.
These transactions have the ability to create a disbursement request.
They are useful when a request for payment does not have to be at a commodity level of detail.
They enable creating a payment request for forfeiture of retainage.
They enable creating payment request for to an external entity for intercepted external debt.

You can choose to modify a payment request transaction for a specific vendor. This will affect all Accounting Lines for the vendor. More than one vendor line can be inserted on the DRM for this type of change.
You can also use the DRM to modify the entire payment request transaction. This will affect all Accounting Lines for every vendor on the transaction.

TasksTasks
DRM transaction can be created either by copy forward action from the PR/ABS transaction or by entering the Transaction Code and Transaction Department in the Transaction Catalog page. You can either manually enter the Transaction ID or select Auto Numbering. When a copy forward action is performed, only Referenced Transaction Code, Referenced Transaction Department and Referenced Transaction ID are copied forward to the resulting DRM transaction. If the DRM is for a specific vendor and not for modifying the entire payment request, you will enter the appropriate Referenced Vendor Line.
