Bank File and File Formats

When sending ach file to bank after it gets placed on application server (what is application server transaction code) a direct interface or not? If not what is a direct interface?
What is flat file and xml file. Please tell the difference with example??
What are various file formats sap supports for importing ebs in sap? What information should be requested from bank?

Hi Sheena,
1. Outbound files - You can create a ACH file in any format you want. SAP support text file, IDOC.
After you run your payment program - F110 - the last step is to create the payment medium. When you run this payment medium program it creates the file in a specific format as per your configuration. This file can be stored in your hard drive (C:) or in the SAP server based on the path given by you in the variant.
You can use T-code FDTA to view the file.
If it gets stored in C: you can just go to the directory and double click the file.
If it is stored in SAP server you can use transaction AL11 to view the file.
2. Inbound file  - The electronic bank statements come in various formats. The most common formats are BAI in US, Multicash in Germany, MT940 in Europe. Each format has been defined separately, you can go to Googe and search for details about these format.
SAP has standard program which read these formats and post them to your General Ledger.
If you have more questions, please post them and I would try to answer.

    What does unreadable file and unrecognizable format mean in my iphoto 11?

    A number of people have reported issues with some models of Kodak cameras and iPhoto. Reformatting the card with the camera usually solves the issue. Make sure you have the photos off the card first (Image Capture - in your Applications Folder - may help with that) as reformatting will erase the card.

  • Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

    Hi Guru's
    Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File  scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
    For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
    I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.

    Hi Aaron,
    I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
    Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
    The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.

    I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

  • Purpose of message protocol file and file content conversion

    hi

    Hi,
    In XI (internal) all XML message are based on the XI Message Protocol.
    See: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
    XI Protocol is nothing but an SAP XI extension of SOAP protocol and SOAP protocol is nothing but a SOAP request in a HTTP protocol. SOAP request is nothing but SOAP extension of an XML message. Hence finally it drill downs to the fact that XI message is in fact an XML message with some extra information in the header which are SAP specific like the SAP Runtime, SAP Hoplist, etc...
    File Content Conversion
    Integration Engine understands only XML messages.Now if u r handling normal text file such as 'tab separated' file,'# separated' file, or a CSV file, you need to convert the content of the file to XML and File Content Conversion mechanism helps to do this job.This File Content conversion mechanism(option)is present with the File Adapters.both Sender and Receiver.

  • I am trying to create a panorama, when I enter File New I don't get the Photomerge Panorama option, the only options that appear are Blank file and File from clipboard.  How do I get photomerge panorama

    I am trying to create a panorama.  When I enter FILE > NEW > the Photomere panorama option does not appear.  the only options are Blank file and file from clipboard.  This is in Elements 11 on Windows 8.1 OS.  How do I get Photomerge Panorama to appear.

    Since PSE11, you access the photomerge option in the 'Enhance' menu, last option. Or you can use the organizer (menu Edit / Photomerge).

  • Writing File and File Member to AS400 using Access Classes

    Hi! All,
    I am in a fix here and would sincerely appreciate any help I can get. I need to write a pogram that will allow me to write a file and many FileMembers to the File in the AS400.
    I have the following method which I thought would help me do it, but I get exceptions.
    public static void writeFileOnAS400(String pFileName, String pFileMemberName, String pContents ) throws Exception
    AS400 as400 = new AS400();
    String as400FileName = "/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/" + pFileName + ".FILE";
    String as400MemberName = pFileMemberName + ".MBR";
    // Create a file object that represents the file
    SequentialFile newFile = new SequentialFile(as400, as400FileName + "/" + as400MemberName);
    // Create the file
    newFile.create(pContents.getBytes().length, "*DATA", "Data file created with " + pContents.getBytes().length + "byte record." );
    // Open the file for writing only.
    // Note: The record format for the file
    // has already been set by create()
    newFile.open(AS400File.WRITE_ONLY, 0, AS400File.COMMIT_LOCK_LEVEL_NONE);
    // Write a record to the file. Because the record
    // format was set on the create(), getRecordFormat()
    // can be called to get a record properly formatted
    // for this file.
    Record writeRec = newFile.getRecordFormat().getNewRecord();
    writeRec.setField(0, pContents);
    newFile.write(writeRec);
    // Close the file since I am done using it
    newFile.close();
    // Disconnect since I am done using
    // record-level access
    as400.disconnectService(AS400.RECORDACCESS);
    This works the first time for the 1st Member(ie; when te file or Member is not yet created). When I want to add a new Member to the same file, by passing in the same fileName, but a different fileMemberName, it does not work. The string pContents is what I need to write to the Member.
    Anyone Know about the AS400?
    Thanks

    The whole class is as shown below
    import com.ibm.as400.access.*;
    public class AS400Utility
    public static void writeFileOnAS400(String pFileName, String pFileMemberName, String pContents ) throws Exception

    String as400MemberName = pFileMemberName + ".MBR";
    // Create a file object that represents the file
    SequentialFile newFile = new SequentialFile(as400, as400FileName + "/" + as400MemberName);
    // Create the file
    newFile.create(pContents.getBytes().length, "*DATA", "Data file created with " + pContents.getBytes().length + "byte record." );

    Record writeRec = newFile.getRecordFormat().getNewRecord();
    writeRec.setField(0, pContents);
    newFile.write(writeRec);
    // Close the file since I am done using it

  • How do I print to file, and what format gets generated?

    I was trying to print a web-page to a file so I could connect to my printer later to print. I managed to get the file to appear, but I don't know what its format is! I gave it no extension - my guesses didn't help... Any clues? Thanks!

    ''John99 [[#answer-671860|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Hi m.patterson,
    A suitable workaround may be to sidestep the printer software by using some print to pdf add on such as:
    * Print pages to PDF https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-pages-to-pdf<br />Home http://printpdf.pf-control.de/index.php/en/help.html
    * Alternatives [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=print%20to%20pdf]
    </blockquote>
    Thanks. When I was using Chrome I was able to print to PDF from printer drop down menu like '''the-edmeister''' suggested, but I've since switched to Firefox and I was a little confused why that option wasn't available from the drop down menu. If an add-on gives me that capability I'm all for it.
    Hope everyone has a Happy New Year btw!

  • .avi files and 'ms' format audio

    Hi Folks,
    I have QuickTime 7 Pro and a .avi file I was sent (actually downloaded on FTP). I also have a host of other video players (MPlayer OS X 2, VLC, RealPlayer 10) All of them can play the .avi file but I get no audio. If I choose "Show movie properties" in QuickTime it lists the audio as 'ms' format. Is there any way to get QuickTime, or any other video player, to play the sound on this file?
    Hope someone can help me with this.
    Cheers,
    Grant
    G4 Dual 1.25Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    any suggestions for the same problem but for OS X (10.3.9)?
    You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • Is it possible to rescue drive files and also format RAW file system into previous NTFS?

    Do you have any suggestion for me to format RAW file system to NTFS and also rescue my remained drive files? These external hard drive files are made for the business presentation in the next Monday. I have prepared them for nearly a week.
    But, this morning, the external hard drive that had held these files became RAW and needed to be formatted. I could not lose them and prepare another week to make these files again. There was no enough time. Please, give me some advice to get them back as
    many as possible. Thank you in advance! 

    RAW file system error will not always indicate a failed or seriously damaged drive. So, do not give up rescuing your drive data easily. Just plunge this RAW drive to you computer again and run drive data recovery software to rescue your
    original data back as much as possible before you format this drive from RAW to NTFS.
    Just open your computer and search for a right data recovery tool to go on.
    Get more data recovery clues here:

  • HD File and what format schould save

    I bought my first HD Camera a Samsung SC HMX10C. What is the best file
    format schould I use to get the hightest quality?

    It depends on what your ultimate goal is, Loretta. What type of file you ultimately want to output. And, to a lesser extent, which version of the program you're using.
    The HMX10 is a hard drive camcorder, which means the video is saved as MPEG2s inside the camcorder. You can not streaming capture into Premiere Elements.
    Your options are:
    BEST: Convert any MPEGs to DV-AVIs before you bring them into Premiere Elements. This makes the most efficient use of the program and your system's resources. Here's one way to do it:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4800e
    GOOD SOLUTION: Download the video from the camcorder into your computer using Premiere Elements' Media Downloader, but make sure you've got your video project set up with the preset for hard drive camcorders. You'll likely have to render (press Enter) frequently as you work though.
    ALTERNATE SOLUTION: Edit using a program that's built around the MPEG workflow and leave Premiere Elements out of the process completely. That means editing the video with either the program that came with your camcorder or using a program like Sonic MyDVD, an editor which uses "smart rendering" with MPEGs, taking best advantage of the MPEG format.

  • QuickTime takes forever to open larger movie files and files over network

    Quicktime 7.2 used to open files immediately, but now it stops responding for a couple minutes or more before finally opening movie files.
    Any one else having this problem?

    Worked for me as well. I had Perian already, but after downloading and installing the new version, Quicktime works perfectly now.
    Many thanks!

  • Duplicate file and file directory

    Currently using 37.0.2
    Notice in my file directory I have two Mozilla Firefox folders.
    One has April 2015 dates.
    The other has February 2014 dates.
    Can I safely delete the Feb 2014 folder and its sub-directories?
    Thanks

    There are also old Visual Studio 8 folders with a number appended in the screenshot.
    Did you ever do a Windows System Restore?
    Yes, you can remove that folder.
    If you want to know what Firefox version it is then you can check the application.ini file in a text editor via "Open with".

  • Flash xml file and file size?

    I have a flash animation that pulls in images using an xml
    file. I was
    wondering if the images must all load first? In other words,
    the images
    are timed to load at different times. I was thinking, when I
    did this,
    that the images would not be downloaded until they were
    called but I am
    starting to doubt this.
    Anyone have any idea how these images are loading?
    Basically, my main concern is that they are putting too much
    load on the
    homepage. I have a feeling I know what the answer is.
    Thanks

    whatever the size of your SWF is, is what is going to be
    loaded when entering your homepage. Flash doesn't know what images
    to load, until you make a call to load them. It will only load the
    assets on the timeline, and anything set to export on the first
    frame.

  • Different contrast with original HD files and files imported in Premiere Pro CS4

    I'm experiencing a very strange problem. Not the first time though.
    When I import files shot with reflex video cameras this is what happens:
    It seems something like shadow/highlights feature in Photoshop, but I haven't done anything to have
    such a huge difference.
    When I import files shot with my Sony HVR Z1 regular videocamera nothing weird happens and everything
    works perfectly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Alessandro

    I now use CS5 and I do not use a "reflex" camera... so this is only a GUESS
    Does your timeline have red over the "reflex" video when you 1st import, and before you do any work?
    If yes, that means you have a mismatch between your project and your video
