ACH payment method US- Value date in DME

Hi,
We are using ACH payment method. After the payment program is executed, through Environment>payment mediumDME administration, we download the txt file which is sent to the bank. In this file format, apart from the date in the header record, we find another date with record type 5 positioned at 70-75.
From which table and field this value is being populated? Also, if we need to change this date to the next day ( i.e. payment program is executed today, but this date should be the next day).
I did configuration in FBZP - value date ( put the days as 1); and also in SPRO: Define value date rules for bank transactions and assigned the payment method to bank transaction.
Despite all this; I do not see that the date in the DME file is not getting changed (position 70-75). I see that value date in REGUH table is changed to the next day.
So my questions are:
From which table this date is getting populated?
How to change this date to the next date?
Do we need to use any user exit? If so which one ?
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
thanks

Srinivas-
That field in company batch header with record type is called "effective entry date". Please look at the attached thread.

ACH Payment Method for US Garnishments

Hi Experts,
We want to make Garnishment Support payments through ACH File instead of live AP Checks. I have a few queries:
1) We do not want to disturb the existing functionality of disbursing empl's salary through ACH file using pgm RFFOUS_T
But in case of garnishments Support payment, we want to generate the ACH file for the State Disbursement Unit using Payment Medium Workbench (PMW). Is this feasable.
1) For example, let's say there is vendor (say 108001 )and there are three employees whose Support Garnishments are going to this vendor.
Now If u201CIssue Separate Check to Vendor u201Cfield is checked in IT0194, does this ensure separate line items/entries for each employee in the ACH file.
2) Can we assign only one Vendor (say 108001 ) everytime in IT0194 for any employee with Garnishment Category u2013 Support.
3) Can a Vendor ask for the same ACH file in both the formats - CTX and CCD ? If yes, does that mean there will be two payment runs in FI, one for each format.
Can you please help.

Hello Somdeb,
See my comments in bold.
1) For example, let's say there is vendor (say 108001 )and there are three employees whose Support Garnishments are going to this vendor.
Now If u201CIssue Separate Check to Vendor u201Cfield is checked in IT0194, does this ensure separate line items/entries for each employee in the ACH file. Yes it should create separate line item. At least it does for us. You can test it in your test system. We have custom remittance program for ACH. You can talk to your FI group and give them TP postings document number to identify if it creates separate line item.
2) Can we assign only one Vendor (say 108001 ) everytime in IT0194 for any employee with Garnishment Category u2013 Support. Depends on the client and vendor requirement. IF all of your garnishments goes to same vendor then yes you can do that.
3) Can a Vendor ask for the same ACH file in both the formats - CTX and CCD ? If yes, does that mean there will be two payment runs in FI, one for each format. Not sure about format. But you can search SMP about this.
See, each one of your requirements are mostly functional. So treat them on a trial and error basis in test system.
Let me know if you have further queries.

Configuring ACH IAT payment method

Hello Experts,
We are trying to implement a new payment method (ACH IAT) for client's vendor payments. IAT is a new standard class entry (SEC) code that will replace the CBR and PBR SEC codes currently in use today. NACHA rules will require the IAT code and format of all ACH payments entering or exiting the U.S.
As this is a newly introduced payment method SAP had introduced an OSS note (sapnote_0001343600) in 2009 which we had successfully implemented. After a payment process the system is successfully generating a DME file. It seems that the DME file which we have sent to the Bank is not complying to the exact format. Some of the errors pointed out are :
I am also listing the problem data points that business has highlighted :
1. Record Type 6 u2013 Position 4-12 : Should contain the standard Routing Number that indentifies US RDFI at which the receiver maintains the account. It is coming as 0
2.Record Type 6 u2013 Position 13-16 : Number of addenda records associated with entry detail record. They should not be 0.
3.Record Type 7 u2013 Addenda type code 14 u2013 Position 41-74 : Contains foreign RDFIu2019s routing/transit number. Some other value is appearing
4.There should not be two record types of 7 u2013 Addenda Type code17.
5.Record Type 7 u2013 Addenda type code 18 : Mandatory foreign bank info (Bank Name, Code for numbering scheme, Bank Identification number) missing completely.
Looking forward to your valuable inputs from your end.
Thanks and regards

Hi Sheli,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response.
I have already configured the particular structure for the DME file that has been generated. The issue here is with the data.
May I ask whether it will be possible for you to kindly help out with the table from where the file is fetching these records. Couldn't figure out those exactly. I think most of the data are being fetched from REGUH, REGUP, REGUT tables but there are some places where the same data which needs to be repeated in another position is not getting populated. Thus I'm not sure whether the system is calling the same table the second time or its some other table.
It will be of great help if you can help me out with the list of tables from which the DME file is getting prepared specially the following :
1. Bank Routing Number
2. Addenda records associated with entry detailed records
3. Why there are two line items of 717
4. Foreign Correspondent Bank Details
Thanks in advance for the help.
Have a nice day !
Thanks and regards

Canada ACH/EFT payment method

Hi,
I am looking for SAP standard program from Canada ACH/EFT payment method, for "CPA 1464" format.
I already looked into 'RFFOCA_T' but the output file format is different than
the "CPA 1464" format.
Also looked into the DME tree, but looks like it has Canada '005' format.
Any ideas ?
Thanks !

Hi,
Have you succeeded in setting up this 005 format?

Configuration of ACH and WIRES as payment methods

I chose the correct program in Classic Payment Medium which is RFFOUS_T to make payments by WIRES. When I go to paymetn run, in the proposal log I get the following messages:
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
Message no. FZ328
...none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
Message no. FZ347
... payment not possible because of reported error
Message no. FZ311
Information re. vendor 1000000/ paying company code ABCD ...
Message no. FZ305
payments by EDI / IDoc generation
Message no. FZ797
IDOcs were generated for the following entries
Message no. FZ760
Diagnosis
A payment IDoc is created for each individual payment. The configuration settings governing this are made in the table containing the EDI-compatible house banks and payment methods.
System Response
The house banks and payment methods in question are displayed.
I have done all the configuration correctly as far as setting up the pmt method. It also exists in vendor master. Where am I going wrong.
My understanding is that when we use classic payment medium program for WIRES and ACH it is RFFOUS_T. Let me know if my understanding is corrrect? Is there any form that I need to define in SAPscript or any other configuration required from my part. Also if you can tell me how do we distinguish between ACH and WIRES because they use the same payment medium program RFFOUS_T.
If anyone can provide me with step by step configuration of WIRES in SAP, it will help a great deal and will help me figure out where am I going wrong. Also i someone can tell me the difference in configuration of ACH and WIRES??
Would like to thank in advance if my problem gets resolved and will definitely assign points.

The need to define "wires" is purely business decession. If the users want to identify the vendors and restrict mode of payment to "wires" only, then you go for that.
Just add this method to the vendor master data.
reward if useful.

Is Paypal a supported Payment Method in Oracle Order Management?

Hi there -
Has anybody implemented Paypal as payment method for Oracle Order Management?
We are on 11510 and looking to add Paypal as payment method apart from existing Credit Card, ACH etc.
I found a very old (2008) note on metalink that says there is an enhancement request for this.
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=HOWTO&id=351691.1
We use Paymentech as payment processor.
Let me know...
1. If it's supported with Oracle 11510
2. Anyone has any experience implementing it.
thanks,
Edited by: techy on Oct 25, 2010 12:56 PM

Hi Stephen-
First of all thanks for your response.
Please note that I am not talking about using Paypal as payment processor (similar to Paymentech) but I am talking about using "Paypal" payment method for getting payments from your customers.
As per my brief understanding, I know that Paypal too provides payment processing functionality where I can get my customer Credit Card, bank accounts etc. validated through paypal tool (I think it's call payflow pro similar to paymentech).
Again, we are on 11510 right now so R12 functionality may not be useful for us.
Also, we have already integrated and been using paymentech for payment processing for Credit Cards, ACH etc within 11510. There is no issue about that.
I hope this is clear.

URGENT!! Default Vendor Payment Methods

Hello SAP Folks,
Question:
Is there a way to default a vendor payment method when the payment method is not defined while creating the invoice? Let's say in the vendor master there are 3 payment methods .. Wire, ACH payments and Checks ... there is a process that creates invoices automatically but does not specify the payment method so, I would like to have the method always be ACH BUT, if I need to change this later say in FB02, I can switch it to Checks?
Your help per usual is very much appreciated!!
Jay
Edited by: Jay J. Esparza on Aug 3, 2008 5:13 AM

You can rather specify only ACH in Vendor Master. This setting will default ACH always while payment. However if you like to use different one, you can change in Fb02. Payment method at document level always overrides Master record setting.
Hope this helps

Addenda information for ACH payments

Hi All,
We are using PMW with an ACH CCD format to send the ACH files to our Bank. But certain vendors require us to send ADDENDA record as given below for e.g. in the ACH payments
705ISA00NV 00NV ZZNV ZZNV 09100615300010000001
Can we enter this information in the item text of the vendor invoice, if yes then what will be the config to polulate this information
in the addenda record of the ACH files. Due you think activation of segment/item text check box in the NOTE TO PAYEE config of payment method in fbzp can do the trick?
Thanks

ACH Payment Process in F110 Program

Hi SAP folks,
I am having a small issue with ACH payment process through F110 Program.
I am using Payment program RFFOUS_T for a payment method " A" for ACH and all variant and other configuration is perfect.
When I execute F110 program, it create DME file for me and let's say I clear one vendor with one invoice only then in DME file I can see record 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and file is 100% good to transfer to bank.
Now If I have two Invoice for same vendor and I execute the same process, record 7 with is Addendum record disappears and I will have only 1, 5, 6, 8 and 9.
Our requirement is that let's say we need to pay multiple almost 100 invoices per vendor and we would like to have records 1, 5, 6 and 100 7 records which contains all vendor invoice information and 8 & 9.
I am using CCD format but i guess with program RFFOUS_T it doesn't matter too much.
Has anybody face this issue before ? I have spent hell of the time on this issue but haven't resolved this. I would greatly appreciate your response on this.
Thanks
Perry

Hi Perry
I think this problem is because of all the payment is grouped as one payment. You need to make a separate payment for each vendor line items so that you get record 7 as many times as the number of vendor open items.
In FBZP, payment method in company code, there is an option where you can select SINGLE PAYMENT FOR MARKED ITEMS and also you need to give the payment method in each of the line items.
Hopethis helps. We had the same requirement and we getting the expected result
Thanks

ACH Payments

Dear FI Experts,
We currently using F110 for checks, we now want to use it for ACH, I already configure FBDZ, I have house bank, I already enter the bank information into the vendor master.
I used F110 to pay a test vendor via ACH, it appears that it created teh posting, but When I go to the check register to see the information fo rthe ACH it sys nothing found fo rthe payment method.
What else do I need to do to sussesfully be able o send payment via ACH to teh bank, we already have a process in place for checks, and I thought they will appear on same report.
Also does anyone know the difference between ACH (PPD) and ACH (CTX) in SAP?
Your help will be greatly appreciated

Frank
Okay the job says:
System reads house banks and checks if they are allowed
House bank is selected ...
No suitable bank can be selected for comp.code YMMC pmnt meth. T curr. USD
No permitted payment method exists
information re. vendor E992791 / paying company code YMMC ...
.. payment not possible because of reported error
May sure you have specified a House Bank in the vendor master record or line item. You can do this but to simplify the problem by eliminating this possibility.
Then if this is not the issue then your config in FBZP is where the error lies. SAP is reading that configuration (especially the Bank Determination - Ranking Order) to determine whether payment method T can be used. Ranking Order, Bank Acocunts, Available Amounts and Value Date all must be configured for payment method T and the house bank you are using for the EFTs.
Also check your house bank configuration (check the g/l accounts assigned and currency). Be sure that YMMC is the paying company code and the sending company code (assuming this is how you are setup). Make sure the payment method T is assigned to the company code.
Check your minimums for outgoing payments too but this would have appeared in the log.
Check the payment method for company code config and make sure you are using the Classic Payment Medium Programs.
If you have flagged Bank details required then make sure the vendor has bank details. Again this would have been logged but check anyway.
Check permitted currency USD has been specified.

FI AP: Payment Method W for wire transfers

Hello SAP Friends-
Under t-code FBZP Payment Method in Co.codes, I noticed that we are using the same SAPSCRIPT under payment medium we use for checks. The problem is that the wires are printing off with signatures on them and the users were wondering if that could be removed? I was think do we need a SAPSCRIPT for wires and ACH and if so, should we be using a different SAPSCRIPT than for checks?
What does everyone else do?
Thank you!

Thank you GKA-
But if it is the same SAPSCRIPT for checks, I cannot have the signatures removed right? Then that would mean the signatures will not print on the checks which would be BAD! ;o)
The 2nd option is a possibility but what does your current client do? What is your experience?

Payment methods for Wire transfers

Hello,
I want to decide which payment method to configure for wire transfer out of the standard SAP methods:
D     Bank transfer (ACH CCD)
P     Bank transfer (ACH PPD)
T     Bank transfer (ACH CTX)
What is the difference between each of these transfer types, if someone can pls suggest will appreciate that.

Win:
CCD:
Cash Concentration or Disbursement
Cash Concentration or Disbursement can be either an ACH credit or debit where funds are transferred between corporate entities.
The format can support a limited amount of payment related data with the funds transfer while also being capable of a stand-alone funds transfer.
PPD:
Prearranged Payment and Deposit Entry
Direct Deposit - Direct Deposit is a credit program that transfers funds into a consumer's account at the Receiving Depository Financial Institution. The amount deposited can be from a variety of products, such as payroll, interest, pension, dividends, etc.
Pre-Authorized Bill Payment - Preauthorized payment is a debit program enabling companies with billing operations to collect funds from consumers thorough the electronic transfer of bill payment entries.
The consumer grants the originating company authorization to collect periodic charges to his or her account as bills come due. This concept has been successful in both recurring bills of regular amounts (mortgage payments) and variable amounts (utility bills).
CTX:
The Corporate Trade Exchange format supports transferring of funds, either credits or debits, within a trading partner relationship utilizing a full ANSI ASC X12 message or when payment related UN/EDIFACT information is sent with the funds transfer.
Multiple addenda records contain the ANSI or UN/EDIFACT information.
