ACH - Incoming File!

Hi Sappers!!
I would appreciate if someone could provide some inputs on the following issue on ACH payments.
Scenario:
We send ACH file to bank for effecting payments. Bank (Citi) processes the file and logs the items that have error for eg: amount error, routing number error etc..Then it creates a file in ACH format called Return Item File (RIPF) which contains a list of items that got rejected while processing.
Question:
Do we need to upload RIPF in SAP. If yes, then how can we upload this information in SAP.
Appreciate your time!!
Vj

Hi Vj,
Based on the information you provided, the RIPF file gets created/generated whenever there is some incorrect info, which would be wrong amount ( in the sense that the amount is not in the place it should be), which i guess should be corrected by the print program which generates the original ACH file. In case of other errors like routing number error, you would have to check the logic behind the payment program - Most probably that would come from the house bank i.e used in the payment program, so that would be a master data correction.
In other words, you need not load the RIPF file into SAP - However based on the inputs from RIPF file, you would have to make changes to master data in SAP R/3 or make changes to the print program for ACH file to make sure that the file does not get generated (ideal situation).
Hope that helps..
Thanks,
Nandita

How to change ACH File ID Modifier in ACH CCD File in SAP SAPFPAYM program?

Hi,
We are using ACH CCD File transmission using PMW to send ACH file to get incoming customer payment to the bank. In one F110 run, we have multiple house banks in a single company code, so we will have three different files to send. Here our issue is since these three files are generated through a single payment run, the date and time stamp on the three files will be same so we will have the same File ID Modifier in the Header record of the ACH file. But bank is not able to identify these three files as unique files because the File ID Modifier is same for all three files. In SAP unless these files are generated at different time, they all will have same File ID Modifier. Now we need to change this as per banks requirement. Can any one please help me on how to do this?
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Agree with your last comments about File ID of DMEE file.
But if bank is same but has different accounts in different branches, to distinguish them we have SWIFT code or IBAN.
The same file means the same DMEE generated file, probably with different tags with different data. As long as the final bank is same for ex. ICICI, it may have branches in different states but usually the format will be same for a bank , but the value of the tags may differ for different branches.
Cheers,

Automatic SAP Cash Application- for ACH incoming payments

Dear experts,
We have requirement to automatically apply cash for the ACH incoming customer payments. We have been using LOCKBOX for automatic cash application for Check incoming payments. Now we want to implement automatic cash application for incoming ACH payments as well. What are available best options? Can we do this through EBS?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tina

Hi Tina
I suggest to use a different GL code for incoming ACH payments and set this up using BAI codes from your banks EBS file. I believe you are not running EBS statement upload or manual load currently. Identify all the bank transactions and their related BAI codes with the help from your bank.
Thanks

Thanks
raj

If they are passing it in message id or correlation id,
you can access it using
<xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS', 'DCJMSMessageID/ DCJMSCorrelationID')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />
Check this:

Sorting incoming files based on payload content

Hi,
I have a file>XI-> FILE scenario...I need to sort the incoming file based on payload content...But my understanding is in XI each line item would be processed one at a time...Is it possible to sort the entire file before beginning to process???
-Ken

Hi Ken,
you can try to create generic content sorting with java mapping:

ACH IAT file format clarification

Hi,
We have some issue on ACH IAT file.
Error 1 - Line Starting with 5200 - 67-69 - The currency is filled with USD, though we are making payments in EUR or other foreign currencies. Not sure from where this USD is picking up.
Error 2 - Line Starting with 5200 - 76-78 - Currently it is coming as 000 where as bank expects blank values here. Not sure how this is coming from.
Error 3 - Line starting with 710 - 7-24 - The amount expected is Zeros, however, this is coming up with foreign currency amount. Not sure how to suppress this to zeros.
Error 4 - Addenda record 714 - 41-74 - This coming as blank, not sure how to fill this.
Error 5 - Addenda record 716 - 39-73 - The country name is coming fully, however, bank expects only "FR" for france.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Ravi

Duplicate checking based on the content of the incoming file

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we have to check whether a file has been duplicated or not based on the contents of an incoming file.The threads which I have seen in SDN deal with the duplicate checking based on the filename of the incoming file.
The incoming file has the following structure :
Recordset                                     Occurance-1
       |....... Idoc                              Occurance 1...unbounded
                   |...... segment             Occurance 1
We are required to make a check based on certain fields which occur in the segment.There are about 4 fields which we will have to take from the incoming file and carry out the check.These 4 fields exist in different segments.We will have to update a ztable with these 4 fields and then perform an rfc lookup to check for the contents of the incoming files with this table,and reject or process the file based on whether the entries exist in the table or not.
Please let me know if there is any way this can be achieved.
Appreciate if anyone could help me on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Induja

Error referring a external dtd in incoming file

Hi,
I have a simple File - Webservice scenario.The challenge is the incoming file which is generated from lotusnotes and which contains a line
"<!DOCTYPE database SYSTEM 'xmlschemas/domino_7_0_2.dtd'>"
I'm able to generates the message structure succesfully.But at runtime the above line gives error.The input payload is blank in MONI with the error
"The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing resource 'xmlschemas/domino_7_0_2.dtd'. Error processing...
<!DOCTYPE database SYSTEM 'xmlschemas/domino_7_0_2.dtd'>"
A work around which I have tried is by writting a adapter module which deletes this line and the scenario works fine.
Want to know if there is any other solution for this? I have also tried copying the "domino_7_0_2.dtd" in the XMLSchemas folder on PI server.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Outgoing file name as incoming file name??

Hi,
I have a scenario FILE >XI>FILE.
I need to write the outgoing file with the same name as the incomming file.
For example the incomming file is abc.txt. The outgoing file from SAP should be abc.txt.
Any SUGGESTIONS!!
Regards
Vijaya

Hi,
you have to create a module to the file receiver adapter that will insert the filename into the payload of the XML message
sap note:
819761 - XI 3.0 File Sender: Accessing source file name from a module
then you can use <b>variable substitution</b> (from SP12)
to name your output file
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
this is how you should do it:)

Comparing incoming file name having timestamp with system time.

Hi,
The scenario is File to FIle.
i have to read the incoming file name which will be having time stamp.
compare the time stamp with the system time .
if the difference in time is within specified time then send the file to target location,else send a mail that file is not placed in target location.
please enlight me on how this scenario can be done.
Thanks,
Akkasali.

if you mean the actual time stamp on the file and not the file name then ref: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417300)ID2044216150DB12410233167314983393End?blog=/pub/wlg/15154
else if you mean the time stamp on the file name itself then use dynamic configuration and then read the file name and do the further processing - /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/03/26/dynamic-configuration-vs-variable-substitution--the-ultimate-battle-for-the-file-name
