Positive Pay Output File Format

[Kim_anne]

Hello,

Customer uses a positive pay file in CSV and sends this to the bank. In SAP, the standard format is US_POSIPAY which is a TXT file format.

Is there any way to change the file format to produce a CSV format in SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud 2402

Thanks,

Thank you for your question, @Kim_anne.

Due to the behavior of different web browsers, the file may be saved with a different extension. For example, Google Chrome may save the file with an XML extension. After saving the file, you can rename the file to a TXT extension.

If you encounter following symptoms after payment media file download you may need to change the "Alternative Format Type" from 90 SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity to No Alternative Format Type through SSCUI 101972 Set Up Payment Methods per Country for Payment Transactions:

1. XML file is blank/empty;
2. XML file send to the bank is rejected with the error "Invalid File Format";
3. The special character "#" appears at the starting of the XML file;

4. Encoding in payment media file is changed to UTF-16 from UTF-8. When the file is sent to bank, the bank doesn't accept it as the encoding is UTF-16. 

If this solves your request, please mark accordingly. Thank you.
