Payment program - payment medium

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our customers are using banks A, B, and C for automatic payments ( F110 and FBPM).

all the 3 banks use same file format which is in MT103.

Now, they want to use one more bank D for automatic payments. and the file format the bank D uses is MT100. so we are creating the New file format MT100 as specified in DMEE.

But the question is, where to assign the new payment medium ?

all the banks A, B, C and D can use the same payment methods. and do i need to assign new payment medium in House bank of new bank D ?

Thanks,

Shwetha

Hello,

Because D bank is using a different file format (though it is only transfer), you need to create a separate Payment method. Assign the DME structure to the new payment method in country. Without creating a new payment method you CANNOT achieve this.

SAP has provided some of the DME structures for different countries. like GB_BACS for GB etc.

If your client is not part of those structure, probably you are required to create your own structure. It also depends on the bank of your client. They may want the file in a different format. Therefore, you need to first talk to the bank and get a sample file in which they need the format.

You can create the DME structure by using transaction code DMEE - Tree Type is PAYM.

You can create the DME structure as a flat file or XML file based on the requirement of your client (bank).

You can also copy the standard structure to Z structure and modify it according to your requirements.

Please also make sure that you have made settings in OBPM1, OBPM2, OBPM3 and OBPM4 (More importantly you should maintain the path where it needs to be downloaded)

Complete your FBZP settings - Importantly payment methods in country, select your DME structure.

Take help of basis consultant in order to create the directories. You can see the directories in AL11.

If there are no directory path maintained in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory in AL11.

If you are using DME structure, then forget the classic payment medium.

1. First ask the bank for the format, file type etc. Ask bank for any document available.

2. The see for that country if SAP has provided any standard DME structure (Transaction Code DMEE - Tree Type PAYM)

3. If this is not sufficient, then copy the standard DME strcutre and modify it accordingly to your requirement.

4. Assign this DME structure in FBZP - Payment Methods in country. * Use payment medium workbench

5. Check with your basis whether any secured folders are created in AL11 (where the output file needs to get generated) - If not ask them to create.

6.Check your settings in OBPM1 / OBPM2 / OBPM3 / OBPM4 - (In OBPM4 make sure you have given the secured folder path and file name for your variant)

7. Run F110 - Check you have maintained your variant details properly for program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM

If you maintain all these steps correct, hope your DME file should get generated.

Hi Ravi,

i have found out a DME format which is similar to customer requirement. and will make the required changes to it.

1) OBPM1 : what are the event here? what do i have to maintain?

2) OBPM2 : what is Note to payee have to maintain here ? i think this is one time configuration for automatic payment from banks, so not require for my new DME file format. Please confirm.

3) OBPM3 : do i need to just maintain new DME format here ?

4) OBPM4 : can you explain little more about this. where to maintain the directory ?

Thanks,

Most importantly you should configure OBPM4. This is most important, remaining all more or less standard settings. If your DME structure is not standard then you need to create entries in 1 2 and 3

OBPM4, select your DME struture, right hand side go to variant and create the entries.

Give the path name from AL11

Hi Ravi Sankar,

With initial information provided by you on creation of new payment file and also help of other material, I have created the new format tree in DMEE according to ING bank specification.

I have got few errors and have doubts:

1). What are sort fields in DMEE tree properties ? Which are the fields i have to give in sort fields ?

2). Key field in each segments under source tab ?

3). in the header 07: file name, 35 lengths, not validated. How to create this node ? Which source field ?

4). In the sample file our customer has given has one empty line between header and item (transaction), also between item to item:

how to print more items ?

5). The node 20: in item is Sender's reference which is 16 length and not validated. which is this field in structures FPAYH, FPAYHX, FPAYP. In general, how to find the fields from these structures ?

6). The error messages is : Node HEADER ING: segment has no subnode of type element/composite/technical node

Message no. DMEE_ABA338. how to correct it ?

Please respond and provide suggestions.
