Bank Communication Management in different SAP system

Hello guys,
Right now at our client's company we have a total of 7 servers with SAP running on all of them, but only one of them(the central server "A") has BCM. The rest of the servers maintain RFC communications with it.
Our goal is to centralize all bank communication interface management from payments coming from all servers in server "A".
Does BCM support this, maintaining BCM management from a foreign system? I am guessing you could achieve this (for example) when you run F110, sending payment output via RFC/IDocs from server "X" to server "A"and back.
I would really appreciate your comments on this,
Thanks!
Julia

Hi Peter
Check out this documentation (also it is a bit old) but it talks about using one standard FM in RFCs for
for Call transaction .

SAP Bank Communications Management

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help? We are currently exploring with our bank using their facility for transmitting Payment Files directly to them through a secure transfer and also retrieving Statements, Forecasts, Acknowledgments and Rejections. The Payments files, Statements and Forecasts will use standard formats such as MT103/940 etc.
What we want to achieve is integrating with SAP using some standard functionality that will allow the Cash Management team an easy way of monitoring and controlling the payments.
Can anyone clarify whether the Bank Communication Management tool can be used for the above scenario or will it only allow you to use it if you have a direct connection to SWIFTnet??
Thanks in advance
Adam

Adam,
You are right. BCM is the tool. What BCM can do is:
1. Batch payment runs into batches as per your requirement. For example you run say F110 10 times a day for EFT. Based on the BCM rules you can combine these 10 Payments runs into one or more batches
2. After having batched the payments, you can view them in BCM payment monitor. with the current status. From here you can drill down to the payment run and view the paid items.
3. After you receive ACK/NACK (Acknowledgement or rejection notices) message from SWIFT you can update this monitor and your Treasury/Cash management people can view this status. You can also set 'alerts' in case of rejection so that the responsible person can get an email and he/she can take immediate action.
4. Treasury/Cash management can also approve the payment, depending on cash availability stop the payment and can release it the next day once they have money. By this you are not reversing the payment, but it is just kept pending in BCM.

Bank Communication Management - Incoming messages from Banks

Hi,
We are using Bank communication management. When we send our ACH and Wire files to the bank, the bank sends two confirmations: 1. First confirmation says that the file is received. 2. Second confirmation sends the total number of items and total amount in the payment file.
I have done the necessary configuration in BCM in the step shown below:
Financial Supply Chain Management ® Bank Communication Management ® Payment Status Management ® Map External Status to Internal Status
How do I update this in the payment monitor (T-CODE - BNK_MONI)?
SAP says
You must connect the XI system to the ERP system. The interface Collective Payment Order Notification must be set up. What is this interface 'Collective payment order notification' and where should I set it up?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Kalyan

Hi Ankish,
As mentioned by Kalyan above (check suggestions from SAP in his comment), you should use the interface Collective Payment Order Notification given by SAP in ESR (Enterprise Service Repository) SAP APPL (SAP APPL 6.05). If your PI environment doesnot have it then you need to request yuor basis to download this from SAP.
After you download the ESR , you can find the standard Service interface called "CollectivePaymentOrderNotification_In" under Namespace http://sap.com/xi/APPL/Global2 .
Now once you have this interface downloaded, create a new message mapping using the message Type "CollectivePaymentOrderNotification_async" as Target, and your message from BANK or SWIFT (uploaded into PI as external definition) as source. Map the required fields , mainly map the external status code from BANK to ExecutionStatusCode field. Also map the required header fields.
Once you create the new mapping , create required Integration builder objects and you are all set.
The CollectivePaymentOrderNotification interface is proxy in ECC which has required methods to update the BCM with the status.
Also please check below links for more information.

2 Different SAP systems one with only WM and other no WM system

Hi All,
We are having trouble to implement 2 different SAP systems. In one SAP system only MM & IM will be there. The other SAP system only WM system will be there.
In the SAP system with only MM / IM system all the materials will be valuated where as the SAP system with only WM system, there won't be any valuations. It just serves as a 3PL warehouse for the first SAP system which has only IM environment. Both are acting as a different companies.
We planned to interface all the PO, Inbound Deliveries and also the Sales order and deliveries to WM SAP system and develop a custom program to do PGR / PGI in WM system and then transmit the PGR / PGI details to the SAP system (which has only MM / IM environment). The WM system also uses the RF guns. But not so sure whether this can help.
Can you please help me how to configure the WM system. I will be very grateful for your help.
Regards,
Vansh

Hello,
there is a standard SAP solution: [Decentralized Warehouse Management (LE-IDW) |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/51/803c35975f0054e10000009b38f839/content.htm]

Workflow for Bank Communication Management

Hi ,
I need to find out any SAP workflows are responsible for the below activities in Bank communication management .
spro-Financial Supply Chain Management- > Bank Communication Management -> Release Strategy -> Change and Release ->
Assign Role to Release Steps , Here i am assigning rule - 96000144 against Rel Obj BNK_INI .
In pfac for rule 96000144 , i am assigning responsibilities where i am maintaining Agents ( User IDs ) .
The rule IDs specific to amount limits are maintained in SPRO under Financial Supply Chain Management- > Bank Communication Management -> Payment Grouping
When in t code bnk_moni , for Bat No , the approver list has to be displayed .
If anyone has any idea on Workflow related to Bank Communication Management , suggestion will be highly appreciated .
Regards
Prabhudutta

Please check OSS 1041016, it contains documentation on BCM WF setup.
Rememeber that release WF is needed only if you have more than one release step - first release step is always done via BNK_APP, at the moment it's hardcoded in BCM (if you have all the latest patches).

Create/Merge batch for HR payroll BCM (Bank Communication Management)

Hi All,
This with reference to BCM (Bank Communication Management) EHP4
How to create/Merge batch for HR payroll in BCM?
Thanks in advance for your support
Regards,
MS

Hi MS,
First go to t-code 'OBPM5 -'Reservation for cross payment run Payment media' and reserve a Prefix for HR payment runs.
Then in IMG maintain a rule for HR payment runs:
In IMG go to Financial Supply Chain Management > Bank Communication Management > Payment
Grouping > Rule Maintenance
Here if you want to select all HR payments into one merged payment run just select 'Merge ID' as the selection criteria. You can also include multiple rules to merge them separately. For example if you want to put all HR payments below USD10000.00 into one payment run and all others into another payment run then you can create two rules or one rule with two selection critera.
It is very flexible. If you want I can send a SAP's cofig guide.

Bank Communication Management - Transfer between accounts

Hi,
I am looking at the possiility to implement the BCM, however in a simple transfer between accounts that not have payment request and the file is generated by correspondence, I cannot reflect this in BCM. It is possible?
Thanks,
Regards

HI Marques,
Bank Communication Management is mainly for integrating to external banks / Merging of payments/ Payment approvals. For transferring of payments from one bank account to another bank account use repetitive code setup.

Payment Rule maintenance per currency in Bank Communication Management

Hi,
We have maintained Rules for Payment Grouping in Bank Communication Management based on amount limits. The basic currency we expected is GBP so we have the same set of amount limits for all Company Codes until now.
We've now introduced a new Company Code which makes payments in USD. We'd like the same amount limits to be used for payments from this Company Code too.
Eg: We have a rule for amount range from 100K to 150K. If the payment is in GBP the rule gets picked up if the payment amount is between 100K GBP and 150K GBP.
Now if a USD payment is made of 130K USD, the above rule gets picked up. We would like to see that the GBP equivalent of 130K USD... i.e. 205K USD is considered as the amount and a suitable rule is picked up.
How do we achieve this in the rule definitions? I see that the Currency field limits the rule to be considered only for payments made in one currency. Is there a way of associating the amount limits to a base currency so that other currency payments will get converted against this currency and be evaluated?
Would appreciate any help in this regard as we're at a loss currently.
Thanks in advance.

HI
Can you verify your payment run log? are there any payments available or not

How to execute one sap gui script in different SAP system component versions.

Hi Experts,
I am having a task to write a script which can be executed in different SAP systems , explained as below.
I have created a script to do password reset for mass users in one system (TC6) & it's working fine. But when i load same script in other system(QR5) to do the same activity , the system unable to execute the same script.
One thing i found that by comparing in the two systems that the screen-ids in QR5 system is different than TC6 system.
My question
1-> why it is different even though the scripting language is same.
2-> How can i overcome it & make a common script for all the systems.
Please help me to resolve this.

From the above it's clear that the screen IDs in both the systems are different as the program-me name is different for the same TA (SU01) in both the systems.
Now can you please advise how i will go with both to handle in one script (I can't put a check condition to call different scripts for the specific systems as in my landscape there are more that 100 systems).
Please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance,

Locations of server host name in different SAP system files

Hello,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0, with i5/OS V5R4 on IBM System i.
Could someone please guide me on the locations where the server host name exists in the different SAP system files.
We need to change this server host name, and the reason is that we succeeded lately in installing SAP on a new server using restore from entire system backup done on an old server where SAP is already installed, but we can't connect the new server to the LAN as the old server is still connected to it, and we can't have the same host name in the same LAN, even with two different IP addresses.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards.
Reda Khalifa

Hi Reda
If the Host name is not the same..you may have to change in the startup/Instance/Default profiles, the new hostname...i.e..replace all the old hostnames with the new hostname....
Also ..you have to check the Data area R3_<NN> in R3<SID>400 library and check to make sure the hostnames correspond to the new hostname...
Then delete all the sql packages before you restart the system.
Hope that helps
Thanks
Abhi

Jobchain scheduling with EVENTs and in different SAP systems or isol. grou

Hi,
I have the following task:
- Jobchain A in SAP system 1 raises EVENT E1
- Jobchain B in SAP system 1 raises EVENT E2
- Jobchain C should run after A and B in SAP system 2.
Jobchain A and B are defined in isolation group I1.
Jobchain C is defined in isolation group I2.
Where and how do I have to define the EVENTs.
We have a full demo version.
Thanks.

Günne

Hi Günne,
The main idea of isolation groups is that there are no dependencies between objects/jobs/... in different isolation groups.
So the job chains need to be in the same isolation group.
Kind regards,
Anton Goselink.

Sending e-mails between different SAP-Systems with SMTP

Hello,
I want to send e-mails between two different internal SAP-Systems. I already configured SMTP in both systems but ist not possible to send an e-mail from system A to system B. I've got following error message:
Cannot process message; no node determined for <sapuser>:
Thanks in advance & best regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
but it is possible that the email for user from System B is also available in the system itself(transaction so01) and not only in his outlook inbox?
As the email is sent from System A. It will be available under SOST of system A.
As user in System B is receiving the email, it will be appearing in users inbox.
Check with Mail server administrator on where to enable SMTP relaying for IP address of SAP server.
Hope this helps.

SAP Bank Communication Manager without PI

Hello!
We are currently implementing and configuring SAP BCM in our system and we are starting to reach the point where messages are being sent from BCM to bank. Every single piece of documentation we've been able to find points to the necessity of PI, but we are trying to avoid the use of PI altogether.
In our system we have a legacy web server that hosts several critical web services and we hoped we could use this web server to create another service that would receive payment medium files and then forward them to bank. How could we achieve this? Configuring custom destinations for BCM wasn't part of any documentation we could find. Can our wish be fulfilled at all?
Additionally, if we want to send these payment medium files to our web service then we have to wrap then in some kind of SOAP envelope. Is there a place (enhancement spot) where we could modify this payment medium before it is sent from BCM?
Thank you for your help.

Looks as if noone has experience with this kind of BCM implementation. Or another option is that it just can not be done.

SAP Bank Communication Management: Payment rejected by bank

Greeting
I would like to check, when the payment instruction is approved and payment medium file is generated. You received an alert from the bank that the payment is rejected,
Instead of perfoming T.code: FBRA, how do you do that in BCM?
regard

Hi Juan,
If the batch is created in BCM with file id. Use the fileid to reverse the batch using BNK_MERGE_RESET transaction. This will reverse the batch. Again can use FBPM1 for batching.
But if bank rejected due to data issues, then check the dmee and correct the data before FBPM1.
Hope this helps.
