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.

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.

Bank communication - Rule creation

Hello
Is there any explain me how to create rule in Bank communication.
Appreciate your help.
Siva

Hi,
So, you need to define rules for grouping of payments.
The IMG path is:
Financial Supply Chain Management
Bank Communication Management
Payment Grouping
Rule Maintenance
Additional Criteria for Payment Grouping
Go to "Rule maintenance" above: Suppose you define 3 rules :high (high value payments), medium (medium value payments) and low (low value payments). Save the rules. Then, go in "detail view" (which is last column). Go to create, there you see the attributes of the payment. So, you can define a vendor range; amount range;etc., use operators (and, or etc.); a typical rule for high value payments may be : vendors between x and y and amounts between -99999999 and -10000.
Under "Additional Criteria for Payment Grouping"; you can define additional criteria (from structure REGUH) for your batches; e.g. currency, posting date etc.

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).

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.

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.

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 .

Banking Loan Product Types

Hi experts;
     I need to create a taken loan from bank for my client.
After search on the forum I found that it can be done through FN1V as mentioned below in the following thread:
Akhil Poddar                    Jul 12, 2012 6:56 AM                                     (in response to SAP FICO)
Currently Being Moderated
Hi,
We are using SAP Loans Management Module -- General Loans to manage the loans given / taken. We are using the following product type :-
33A General loan given
33B General loan taken
In this Loans Management module, we are able to maintain all the details with respect to start term, end term, repayment details, nominal interest, correspondence details, interest calculation methods, etc..
Transaction code for creating General Loan -- Contract is FN1V
Warm regards,
Akhil Poddar
But when I tried to create it I found that there is no such product type 33B for the General Loan Taken.
So can someone kindly advice where (t-code) and how to do that to be able to create a General Loan Taken?
Also can someone please provide me with the main t-codes in sequence to create:
1. The taken loan from bank.
2. Start date and interest will be calculated.
3. Trace loan history (report) which installments have been settled and which are not yet with their due dates.
Also, is there a difference to operate the Loan Management from SAP Banking or the Treasury and Risk Management or no?
N.B.: please pardon me where I am new in such area and it is first time to recruit the Loan Management.
Thanks in advance;
Kind regards;
Ahmad Mahmud;

Hi,
33b should be available in Customizing client. Maybe you need to get data from there to the productive client. 33B loans can then be created with FN1V.
Kind regards,
Michael

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.

Bank Communication Manager

Hello all!
we are going to implement BCM. But I have a question regarding interfaces. In general direct debits and credit transfers will be generaten weithin SAP. But we have also companies which do not use SAP and create the Credit Transfers ob their own.
IS it it. possible to import those Credit Transfers into BCM and send them to the bank via Erics? If yes, how? Or do I have to create an import way via PI to BCM?
It WOULD be nice to hear anything shortly
kind regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Generally BCM is used to batch the payments and monitor the payment status along with Authorizing payments.
The approved batches will be fwded to the concerned house bank. One way to do this, is routing the encrypted payment file to SWIFT network ( through service provider) and through XI/PI system.
i think the non-SAP generated transfers can't be integrated directly with BCM, but however transferring them through XI/PI to external network is feasible though much technical effort is needed. Just a guess.
Cheers,
Ravish

Bank communication management- FBPM1 does not group if company codes differ

Hi SAP Gurus
I am trying to batch payments across company codes provided the house bank remains the same as it is the same file format. But when I run FBPM1 it always splits the file as 2 files even though the house bank is the same with same payment method. I think this is a limitation due to variant maintanence across company codes in OBPM4. Is my understanding right?
Is there a way to batch payments across company codes provided the house bank is the same?
Thanks
Regards
Morgan

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

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.
