Automatic Payment Program - Maintaining Variants

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem in APP.
I have created a payment proposal and see more than 40 invoices being selected. I would like to pay for all these invoices from a single House Bank-Account ID. SO I would not edit them manually. Instead I have created a variant with the following data and run APP:
1. Paying Company Code
2. Payment Method
3. House Bank
4. Account ID
Still the payment is not made. What more do I need to maintain in a variant?
Kindly answer.
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar

How to create check in batch automatically after automatic payment program

Hello
SAP Experts i am getting a issue
how to create check in batch automatically after automatic payment program ( t code is f110)
Thanks & Regards
Narendra.G

Hi Narendra,
Please note the process below for cheque Printing:-
1. The pre requisite for Cheque printing is you have used program RFFOUS_c/or the Z version of this program in FBZP and that you have maintained the form name in the field Form name for Payment medium in FBZP.
2. You have a pre printed stationary on which you want to print and the Program & the form has been modified to print as per this.
3. In F110, you must have assigned the Variant name, which would specify the cheque lot no. and this should exactly match with the current cheque no. in the pre printed stationary.
4. Now, after all this setting, when you run Payment run in F110, then also only the Payment documents are posted but the cheque no.s are not updated in the Payment document no. nor the PAYR table is updated. It is only when you run the Print out tab, that a spool is created in SP01 for cheque printing as per the Payment documents.
5. Then in SP01, you can print the spool on your pre printed stationary.
This is the complete process of printing cheques from F110. Hope this helps..
Regards,
SAPFICO

Payment not clearing for Vendor through Automatic Payment Program

Hi
I had setup automatic payment program for my vendor to take $ from my GL account. When I run the payment program, it ran without any error, however, the vendor account was not cleared. The balance in GL and Vendor account remains the original amounts.
The log shows the following.
Job started
Step 001 started ( program SAPF110S, variant &0000000001081, user ID XXXXXXX)
Log for payment run for payment on 01/12/2008, identification XXXX
End of log
Job finished
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
Shalini

I have not proposed a solution. Now go to F110 and go to the table additional tab and press proposal log button on the lower right hand side. this will give a detailed log. Either analyse this error set right error or send the error log for analysis.
First run the proposal run and if it is successful, run the payment run and then to print run.
It should be run in the above sequence.

F110 Automatic Payment Program- restrict items per payment document

Hi,
I want to know whether it is possible to restrict number of invoices to be paid in one payment document.
Scenario:
Suppose a vendor has 25 invoices to be paid normally all the invoices would be paid thru' one payment document but my client wants to restrict the number of invoices in one payment document as 10.
Is there any config to be maintained in FBZP?
I hope I am clear in my query.
Thanks
Suresh

Hello Suresh,
I feel that the number of items to be processed in a payment run cannot be restricted.
Please go through the below link to understand the various processing settings for the automatic payment program.

Net off vendor payment in Automatic payment program

Dear Experts,
A vendor is also a customer. I have vendor payment of Rs. 1000/- and customer receivable for the same is Rs.800/-. Now the payment to vendor is only Rs.200/-. I want payment of 200 is made and payment advice and check are generated for Rs.200/- only. Is this possible in Automatic payment program? If "yes" what are the settings to be done to acheive this?
Regards
Komal

Hi,
You would need to maintain vendor code in customer master and vice versa.
After assigning the customer code in the vendor master, go to "Payment transactions Accounting".
Here you will find - Clrg with cust.
Select the check box next to it.
Then, run APP selecting both vendor and customer accounts.
System would do the necessary postings for the open items.

Automatic payment program error

Hi,
I have finished Automatic Payment Program ( F110 ) Generally Credit note / Manual TDS Entry not yet adjusted while making Payment in F110. T D S and Credit Note amounts not deducted .Kindly do the needful on urgent basis.
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
I solved that problem and getting below error:
"Customer/vendor does not have suitable bank details for pmnt method C"
Message no. FZ019
Diagnosis
Either no bank details have been entered in the customer/vendor master record or the bank details cannot be used for the payment method entered.
For example, a payment method can require that a collection authorization exists or that the customer's/vendor's bank be in its home country.
System response
The payment method entered is not accepted.
Procedure
If the customer/vendor master record is maintained incompletely, complete the bank details.
But i maintained bank data in master record and assigned payment method to that bank

Automatic Payment Program - clarifications

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a generic questions on Automatic Payment Program run,
1) How can i make a payment say for 100 invoices belonging to 10 vendors through 4 different House Banks. I know that we need to maintain the House Bank details in Vendor Master but for this example say House Bank is not maintained in any of the vendor masters and also in invoice documents, then in this case hope the system will pick the House Bank based on the ranking order in the configuration but i don't want to pay through these House Bank but through 4 different House Banks. How this can be achieved?
2) I have maintained the House Bank ABCD in the vendor master and posted 100 vendor invoices with different amounts and all invoices are due for payment but while running the payment run the balance in ABCD House Bank is nil and to ful fill the payment i have to use two different House Banks say EFGH and IJKL, how this can be achieved?
I would be greatly thankful to your replies.
-Kumar

Hi,
You can use the below BTE (BusinessTransactions Events) in FIBF:-
00001810 PAYMENT PROGRAM: Individual bank determination
The sample function module is SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001810
The purpose of this interface is to provide a way of individually determining which of its own bank details and which partner bank details should be used for a payment. The authorized bank details are then transferred in table form. If you do not wish to use some of the banks determined, you can set the indicator XCUSF on the relevant line.
You can search SDN etc. on learning how a BTE can be used.

Gaurav

Automatic Payment Program(F111) not picking Bank Sub accounts

Dear all,
The entiries genertaed from automatic payment program(F111) is not picking the bank sub accounts (Receipts/Payment GLs) which are given in the following node:-
Financial Accounting --> Bank Accounting --> Business Transactions -->Payment Transactions --> Payment Request --> Define Clearing Accts forReceiving Bank for Acct. Transfer
It is picking the Main Bank GL, which has given in bank master(FI12).
Please advise.
Thanks & regards
Ramesh Nair

Hi,
The config : Financial Accounting --> Bank Accounting --> Business Transactions -->Payment Transactions --> Payment Request --> Define Clearing Accts for Receiving Bank for Acct. Transfer
Is to decide bank sub account of the sending bank, when you are doing Bank to Bank transfer. This is manditory for cash management bank to bank transfer. Please read the config documentation again.
I just cut and paste from SAP documentaion.
"In this activity you define the offsetting accounts for the receiving bank accounts for bank account transfers (payments between house bank accounts) which should be posted to when payment is made.
The entries are necessary when payment requests are created for cash management payment advice notes that result from cash concentration, for example. The offsetting accounts for the paying house bank are determined by the payment program specifcations and the payment methods used. The offsetting accounts for the receiving house bank cannot be determined from these specifications, however, but can be defined in this section. "
Now, when you are creating payments with F111 and if you want to get sub accounts for house bank you have to do the following config.
F111 -> Maintain Configuration -> Bank determination -> Bank accounts ( for each accont id and payment method combination ).
Then you will see payments from this sub accounts and you have to setup posting rule to clear this account if you are doing EBS.

Automatic payment program how to explain in interviewes

hi friends
asking automatic payment program explanation in interviewes. how to explain the automatic payment program pls tell me my mail id [email protected]

The payment program can be broken down into the following steps:
1. Define parameters (Parameters TAB on the F110 screen)- Based on the parameters defined the program picks up the vendor 'open' items to be paid and displays them in the payment proposal. The parameters tell the program the following:
    a. Which company codes you want to include in this payment run (If the AP cleark who is running the program is responsible for only North American companies, he/she will include only those company codes in the payment run)
    b. Which Vendor you want to pay (suppose there are lot of AP clerks in an organization, they can use this to restrict the selection to the vendor for whom they are responsible for payment)
    c. What are the payment methods you want to use to pay these vendors
    d. What is the next date when you will run payment run. Based on this date the program picks up all the items which become due till the next date of payment run, even though those open items are not due today.
2. Free selection TAB - In this TAB you can restrict the 'open' items you want to select. You can use any field in the BSEG table and restrict the selection. For e.g. You can select the field ' Document no.' from BSEG and give a range of documents you want to pay. The program will pick up only those documents for payment.
3. Additional Log TAB - In this TAB you can select the logs you want the system to create if there are any errors or for all items even if there are no errors. If the results of the program is not what you expected, then you can read the log to understand the reason why the program did not select what you wanted.
4. Print/data medium TAB - Here you supply the program variant for all the payment methods you are using. For e.g. in US if you use the 'Check' payment method, then in this TAB you supply the variant for the RFFOUS_C program. If you are using EDI payment method then a variant for the program RFFOEDI1 has to be supplied in this TAB.
5. Status TAB - Once you enter all the information in the above 4 TAB's you will come to the status TAB.
Initial status will be 'No Parameters have been entered'
Before you run the program, the status would be 'Parameters have been defined'.
After you run the proposal the status will change to 'Payment proposal has been created'.
After you run the Payment run the status will change to 'Payment run has been carried out. Posting orders: 10 generated, 10 completed'.
Thus the status tells you in what stage of the Payment program you are in.
Please note that the buttons you see here is dynamic. Based on the status the button will appear or disappear. But all the functionalities which these buttons offer can also be selected using the dropdown list appearing at the top of the screen.
6. After you completed the payment run, you have to print the payment media - If the payment method used is check, you print checks. If it is wire then you create the wire file etc. This is the last step in the payment run.
Important Note: After running the proposal, you should not leave the payment program. Either you should complete the payment run completely , all the way till you print the payment media, or delete the payment proposal.
If you do not delete the proposal, then the vendors in this proposal will not be included in any of the subsequent payment runs.
Hope this helps you in answering your Interview questions.
Good luck.

Running automatic payment program in case of multiple legal entity

Dear SAP Gurus's
Our client is a big corporate group and it includes lot of legal entities and all the legal entities are configured as Company codes in SAP.
How to proceed for F110(Automatic payment program) in such a scenario where there will be lot of bank accounts and there will be restriction on end use of funds because loans are disbursed to meet the project requirments.
Suitable answers will be rewarded with points.
Thnaks in adavnce for your kind asistance.

skp

Hi Surendra,
Access the transaction code FBZP in SAP to configure APP.
Few points if you design a APP.
All the company codes which are included in the payment run should belong to same country.
Centralised payments can be handled using options sending company code and paying company code.
Payment methods can be maintained for country and paying company code
Ranking order can be mentioned for the banks and the payment methods in APP
The amounts which you mention as available amounts are only PLANNED amounts for the number of days.
Please refer the below link to know more:

Automatic Payment Program Master Data Validations

Hi,
We´re configuring a new payment method for our company code (payment method T - bank transfer). We are using program RFFOM100 to generate the file that has to be sent to the bank. We had to enhance this program because the format of the file that our bank uses differs from MT100.
Now, the automatic payment program validates certain data before it allows an automatic payment to be posted, in particular it checks vendor master records to see if it has the necessary information to fill the MT100 format. Our bank's format doesn't require the same information that the MT100 format requires.
¿How can I stop the automatic payment program from checking for certain information in the vendor master data?
Hope you can help
- Julio

Hi Rudra,
your Question:-
in Vendor Master we have bank details section.for the vendor to be picked in APP, There the bank should be maintained, which is maintained in FBZP. Please correct me if I am wrong.
In FBZP, we maintain the Bank Accounts which we own and in vendor master we enter the Bank Account No.'s held by the vendors with their banks and this has got nothing to do with House banks that we maintain in FBZP. In some of the cases, the bank key may play a common role.. but this also depends upon bank key, its usage, design etc..
Does the Payment Method have any role to play here?I mean if the payment method is Q(cheques) , is it not needed to maintain the bank details in Vendor Master?
In FBZP, go to Pmt methods in a country.. There you will find a section which says, "Required Master Record Specifications". In configuration, you define for a Payment method, what the system should check, so if you have specified against a Pmt Method, that Bank Details>Account Number Required is a mandatory field, then system will check otherwise not. Usually, in case of Checks, we do not tick this as Vendor Bank Account No. has no relevance in case of check payment.

SAPFICO
