Biller Direct Documentation

Does someone who has installed Biller Direct using EP 6.0 know where to find detailed information about customizing the web application - ie. texts, graphics, etc.
The Modification Guide does not specify document names.
Thank you for your assistance,
D. Maupin

I am actually not just a programmer, but here are some points
1. You don't need the NWDI if you just only want to deploy the standard Biller Direct version, but you need it if you want to modify anything. You can just use the SDM ("Sap Deployment Manager" located in the parent directory of the J2EE Engine installation directory) and deploy directly the SCA files.
2. Yes, because the NWDI is like mixture of CVS/Subversion, Marven and deployment manager together. You can probably without NWDI, but then you have to spent some time to setup a project structure in your favorit IDE and to locate all the libraries for the dependencies. NWDI is actually not my favorit, but that's what God... ahem SAP gave us!
3. I use the NWDS (SAP Developer Studio) to bundle and create the required EAR file. I also need the NWDS to checkout and checkin sources into the NWDI using their proprietary version control system, but I actually modify and debug the web-application by using IntelliJ IDEA, which probably the best Java IDE. The NWDS does not really like that someone is going to change code directly on the file-system and therefore you must always ensure the everything is in the "edit" modus, before another tool is going to change something. It sounds like more work, but if you are using my way you are still 2-5 times faster than using NWDS only and the quality of code is extrem better.
If you are going to change Biller Direct, you first task should be to get rid of the Framesets and make it to a single Frame. It's not complicated, but makes your live easier.
If you need support, you do not hesitate to contact me

How to create a link on a biller direct screen for downloading a pdf file

Hi,
My requirement is to create link on biller direct screen, when I click on that link a pdf document will be downloaded in local system. I need help on that

contd from previous post, excerpt from BD config guide:
Web Application
3. Displaying the bill document
The Web application displays the bill document.
If the bill document is displayed using a separate Web server (for example,
the Web server of an optical archive), then the URL for displaying the bill details
can be transferred at event 1235 when you create the bill list. The BAdI
FIS_INVOICEDETAIL is not called, but the Web application sends an HTTP
request to this URL. Since the Web application requests the bill data by request
to the Web server for bill details, the Web server does not need to have an
authentication mechanism. SAP delivers an example implementation for
accessing a Web server for bill details.
Connecting Other Billing Applications
As described above, SAP Biller Direct only makes available the display of bills from Sales and
Distribution (SD) in PDF format. If you want to use this function for bills with a different origin,
you need to proceed as follows. See the BAdI documentation for further details.
1. Create an implementation for event 1235. You have to set indicator XXML, XPDF, or
XMULTARCH (or all three) in table T_INVOICES so that a customer is able to load
XML or PDF data in the front end of SAP Biller Direct. Technically, this means you
ensure that the appropriate icons are shown.
2. Implement BAdI FIS_INVOICEDETAIL. This BAdI is called by the front end if the
customer selects the corresponding link. You can determine the required format using
I_INVOICE_FORMATS. Create the corresponding binary data, and fill table T_XML,
T_PDF or T_MULTIPLE_ARCHIVED_DOCS (or all three).
3. Then set indicator XXML, XPDF or XMULTARCH (or all three) in structure
C_INVOICE_FORMATS.
My Questions:
1. My PDFs are stored on a web server as described in step 3, does that mean that I don't need to use the BADI? How are these URLs generated? Does BD automatically know how to retrieve them from archivelink?
2. My documents are insurance bills, not S&D bills. Does that mean that I need to use the BADI as described in "connecting other billing applications"?
To me there is a lot of ambiguity in the way this is described in the configuration guide. Could use some help with the interpretation.

EP 6.0 and Biller Direct

We will be implementing Biller Direct soon and want to provide it via an Enterprise Portal that uses SSO.
Has anyone done this yet? If so, did you have BD open in a new browser window, or is it part of your portal user interface?
What is the name of the Biller Direct component to call in an iView?
Thanks,
Donna Maupin

Hi Maik,
I am facing an issue with SAP Biller Direct. We made the initial setting through Extended Configuration Management (XCM) wherein we created a new Customer in Application Settings. We made some Application settings and Connection Manager settings. Once we try logging into the Biller direct application using our Host http://HostName:port/bdisu we are prompted with Login Id and password. We tried logging in using the default userid which was provided during Biller Direct Installation but we are getting the error "A general problem has occurred within the logon. The error message is: ".
Please provide us some thoughts on how to rectify this error. Let us know if we need to make some User Management Configs. Also any documentation of how to implement UCES would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Yuvaraj.

Biller Direct / UCES example code or ear

I am implementing UCES (UCES = Biller Direct + ISU functionality). According to Biller Direct Modification documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/05/8d763ee8f9e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm) (under Integrating Separate Customer Functions),
"The SAP Biller Direct delivery contains example code for customer-defined enhancements in the .ear file that you can use as template for implementing your own functions. After you have unpacked the application as set out in the implementation guide, you can find folder \docs\customerExtensions. "
The ear file or example should have CustomerExtendAction.java, CustomerExtendRootBean.java, CustomerExtendDataBean.java and etc files.
I don't have these files in \docs\customerExtensions folder.
Please send a copy to me if you have it. My email is [email protected]
Thank you.

The problem has been solved by SAP. SAP has created a SAP Note 1083420. The Note has the sample codes attached.

-- I have created local DC from the Biller direct track in NWDI. I would like to change the User registration page in Biller Direct.
Can any one let me know the JSP page name for that and where can i find it in the components.
--- Also all this development do i have to do it in J2EE perspective and checkin my changes?

Hi Aparna,
I have a couple quick questions about BD development and would really appreciate it if you could provide some advice since we are starting our build soon.
In my NWDI track, I have component FSCMBD and several other of the required SAP components. I did not create a new product or component, just followed the procedure in this thread: https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1331894. Is that the method you recommend?
I am concerned about doing development directly on the FSCMBD component. How do I prevent my developers from modifying BD source code? Is the idea that they will create independent DCs in NWDS (as you described) and only modify those? I just want to make sure that we are doing development in a way that is supported and will not cause issues when applying SPs or upgrades to FSCMBD.
I also want to confirm that this "create project" activity is not something that I need to do as an Administrator in the NWDI track; this is something my java developers will need to do in NWDS at the beginning of the build.
Thanks Aparna!

Disputes for Credit Notes are not displayed in Biller Direct

Issue: Back end ECC, allows us to create disputes on stand alone credit notes, but on the Biller Direct front end we are not able to see the disputes created.
Description in detail:
1. When a dispute is created on a credit note, system treats it as a Customer Disputed Credit Memo (CDIS_CRED) and it is created in ECC with relation F6.
2. On the Biller Dircet Front end , standard actually display disputes for a Invoice created with relation F1 and F2. So we are not able to see the Customer Disputed Credit Memos.
3. Front End (Biller Direct) allows only open invoices to be disputed and not credit notes, even though it is allowed in ECC.
We would like to know if you have come across this scenario before and have resolved it either through customization or Configuration.
Advice/Recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave,
I just saw this thread now and I am glad I can share the solution with you:
For View: PRDIOOV/OBJECTOV, debug method GET_LIST_OF_STATIC_VIEWS and find out why system is suppressing some assignment blocks.
For some reasons, SAP has included these methods in Product Overview page which are meant to suppress some Assignment Blocks depending upon their usability.
Just redefine this method and delete the views from the Static Views Result List. Following is the sample code:
CALL METHOD SUPER->GET_LIST_OF_STATIC_VIEWS
RECEIVING
RT_RESULT = rt_result.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'CUSRQMSLAPro.SRQM_SLAPRO/MainWindow'.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'SrvEnt.PRDSRV/SrvEntOVE'.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'ZIOBJECT_VC/VC'.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Payment of bills advised by SAP Biller Direct

Hello everyone,
I got the following problem:
We cannot pay (in fact balance) the bill advised by a "customer" on the SAP Biller Direct portal.
We use the transaction F110 for automatic payment transactions. The proposal run gives the following result:
Bank details are being checked
    Customer/vendor bank details are being read
Country US / Bank number 123456780 / Account 12345678 ...
Country US / Bank number 123456780 / Account 87654321 ...
     Customer/vendor bank details are being checked
Bank details 123456780 87654321 have bank type E001; bank type E000 is specified
   System reads house banks and checks if they are allowed
Our bank BANK is being checked
For currency USD and 005 days            0,00 are planned
Available amount too small,            0,00 USD still available,        5.880,00 necessary
   House bank is selected ...
No permitted payment method exists
We already checked and configured all possible configuration. We also did the customizing in FBZP.
When I want to add the payment method (in our case '0' for Biller Direct bank payments) to the customer in XD02, the system says:
"in company code "xxx" '0' is an FSCM-BD payment method and cannot be used.
Detail: In company code "xxx" '0' is indicated as payment method for the FSCM Biller Direct component. This payment method identifies items that were paid via Biller Direct on the Internet. Therefore, the payment method cannot be used in any other way.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Regards,
Vermeer

The solution for this problem:
in FBZP: Add for your house bank in 'Available Amounts' a value in Scheduled incoming payments. After this the payment run finished successfully.

Biller Direct and R/3

Hi,
We have installed SAP Biller Direct application on J2EE 620 engine integrated with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise (WAS 620). For user management security we will use ABAP stack.
The link of this Biller Direct Application will be provided on company's web portal (not SAP Ent. Portal). Once user click on link , Biller Direct application will open it another browser window.User must create their own user id and password.Other information will also be asked like Last Name ,first name, etc) during user id and password creation. Basically user will create their own user master record. (just think of it as you are creating an email account in Yahoo portal connected to R/3)
My question is :-
1) What configuration I need to do on J2EE and R/3 side so that user record will be created in R/3 when user creates it's own ID and password?
2)If I want to link LDAP with R/3, how I can link the LDAP with R/3 (user mapping ) will it be automatic, once the user creates it user id in web portal? OR do i have manually synch LDAP and R/3
I will appreciate your response
Thanks

This forum handles anything matching pattern B*. Unfortunately the first sentence with J2EE already indicated that we will have to request that you kindly ask in another forum. I can see that you problem is actually more between Java and ABAP stack, so I am not sure which of the other forums can help. I am lost here.

FSCM Biller Direct all open items not displayed

Hi Experts,
We implemented Biller Direct but it doesn't display all open items from customer's account properly. Only SD invoices (billing documents) are being displayed with their PDF icons and are working fine.
Biller direct is not showing any other FI open invoices. Please advise.

Simar

Venkat,
As Samir suggested, I looked into Biller's XCM but I don't find. I would like to suggest you to create your own new page for this.
