Answer 1

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.
