Citibank ACH format

Hi Sappers!!
I have two questions on ACH payments thourgh SAP.
Does Citibank use the same ACH format developed by NACHA or do they have their own ACH format.
Does SAP generate the ACH format that exactly matches NACHA ACH?
Appreciate your time!!
Vj

Hi Sappers!!
I did some googling and found that the Citibank format (at least in our case) matches the NACHA format.
That leaves me with the second question.
Does SAP generate ACH format exactly per NACHA ACH format?
I would guess the answers is yes, but I want to make sure.
Appreciate your time!!

Error with ACH Format

Hi Friends,
I am trying to get a printout through FBZ5 for an ACH format (Payment method - T) for a new company code.
Facing the following error,
Select either a payment transfer medium or a DME
Message no. F0067
Diagnosis
Payment transfer media can be either printed on paper or output via data medium exchange. If you select both options, the system asks you to decide on just one.
Where can i select Payment transfer medium or DME?
for your information:
1.The payment method already defined in the Vendor master
2.The payment method not in the document line item
3. ACH Format is working fine with other co.code through Auto Payment run - F110
Please help me to figureout this issue.
Thanking you
Kanna

SAP has provided some of the DME structures for different countries. like GB_BACS for GB etc.
If your client is not part of those structure, probably you are required to create your own structure. It also depends on the bank of your client. They may want the file in a different format. Therefore, you need to first talk to the bank and get a sample file in which they need the format.
You can create the DME structure by using transaction code DMEE - Tree Type is PAYM.
You can create the DME structure as a flat file or XML file based on the requirement of your client (bank).
You can also copy the standard structure to Z structure and modify it according to your requirements.
Please also make sure that you have made settings in OBPM1, OBPM2, OBPM3 and OBPM4 (More importantly you should maintain the path where it needs to be downloaded)
Complete your FBZP settings - Importantly payment methods in country, select your DME structure.
Take help of basis consultant in order to create the directories. You can see the directories in AL11.
If there are no directory path maintained in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory in AL11.
If you are using DME structure, then forget the classic payment medium.
1. First ask the bank for the format, file type etc. Ask bank for any document available.
2. The see for that country if SAP has provided any standard DME structure (Transaction Code DMEE - Tree Type PAYM)
3. If this is not sufficient, then copy the standard DME strcutre and modify it accordingly to your requirement.
4. Assign this DME structure in FBZP - Payment Methods in country. * Use payment medium workbench
5. Check with your basis whether any secured folders are created in AL11 (where the output file needs to get generated) - If not ask them to create.
6.Check your settings in OBPM1 / OBPM2 / OBPM3 / OBPM4 - (In OBPM4 make sure you have given the secured folder path and file name for your variant)
7. Run F110 - Check you have maintained your variant details properly for program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM
If you maintain all these steps correct, hope your DME file should get generated.

Ravi

ACH formatting issues

I copied ACH format 005 and made some changes to comply with the new guidelines. I am having trouble uploading the file into the Bank because of a field in the segment portion of the format. The field I am referring to is the "Customer payment number" FPAYH-DOC1R field and the source offset is set to 4. The field is required to be left justified. Everything is set as required. I am receiving an error because it says field is not left justified. I tried to set the source offset to 0. If I do this, the document number is getting overwritten by company code in the first 4 digits and followed by 6 digits of document number (therefore, I cannot see the full document number). Can anyone help here? Will give points for a good answer. Thanks.

Thanks for help.
The string-join did not worked for me but got a workaround for my issue.

ACH format needs a new field - AR customer number

Hi Gurus: The standard ACH format I am using via the Payment medium workbench does not have the customer number in it. The client wants the customer number on the ACH payment medium file that is sent to the bank.
Can anyone please guide me on how to update this to the same ACH format? It needs to be just after the amount field...
thanks so much
Brian

Dear grahul

ACH format through FDTA

Hi,
We are executing the program RFFOUS_T and after the file is generated, we are downloading it through FDTA transaction in ACH format and We have implemented user exit for populating some of the hard coded values in ACH format The downloaded file has all the values that are coded in the user exits but the last few line are being populated with 9's. We wanted to know as to why these 9's are being populated.Can we truncate these 9's?
Thanks,
Shrinivas

Hi guys,
I'm using RFFOUS_T program with F110 to produce ACH file.
I was able to transmit file to the bank via batch process but bank said that they have received errors on the file.

Payroll ACH Format

i am looking for information regarding SAP Payroll ACH formats for all the banks in US.
I am pretty much sure that SAP doesn't provide standard format for ACH for each bank e.g JP Morgan and bank of america.
And we would be copying standard ACH and modifying it.
looking for confirmation and suggestions.
aman

The ACH format is not customized as such but there might be some changes in the header record . Other than this I dont see a variation in the main ACH format.
User Exit to modify ACH File header - rffoexit
Unless if your client and BOA had an older format , and during scope it was finalized that you would still use the existing customer specific format.

We are using PMW for creating payroll ACH. It works fine but when we go and see it in al11 instead of spaces file
has "#" characters. if we download using FDTA file looks good.
need help for the problem, if you have experienced this before.

What version of SAP are you using?

Appreciate your help.

ACH note to payee

Hello,
When using the ACH format the note to payee is not filled consistently. For example I have 5 payments in the file, but only 2 of them have a 7 record.
I have checked the REGUP table and XBLNR is filled for all concerning 5 payments. I use SAP standaard note to payee SAMPLE 01.
anyone?

BAFF Format - Bank of America Format - Any SAP program to generate it

One of customers have a requirement to make electronic payments to vendors. The DME file should be in Bank of America format (BAFF).
The guide reads :
Welcome to the STP Guide for the BAFF Payment file format. This guide has been customized to provide information related to the
specific countries and transaction types your company has requested.
Bank of America provides electronic data interchange services to clients as a means of effecting payments and collecting funds via direct debit. Clients have the opportunity to realise the benefits of STRAIGHT THROUGH PROCESSING (STP), by applying both
standard and Bank of America defined formats and keywords.
STP has been developed at Bank of America as a result of significant systems investment over many years. The formats are almost entirely based upon industry-accepted formats. However, a few keywords have been especially designated by Bank of America to enable clients to effectively communicate their funds transfer routing requirements. Our Clientu2019s adherence to the use of these keywords ensures the maximum opportunity to realise the benefits of STP whilst accessing a wide range of clearing systems and diverse funds transfer and collection services available through Bank of America.
I have tried with program RFFOUS_T - Payment Medium USA - Transfers/Bank Direct Debits in ACH Format. The output generated is no where near to the format.
Does anyone know whether SAP supports such format or any program that will help to generate the DME file from the payment run ?
Regards,
Santosh Puthran

Hello,
I am also doing this piece for Bank of America/ Citigroup/Wells Fargo, i saw this post from your side, is it something I could get the solution regarding the DMEFormat your are looking for Bank of america?

Change addenda record in ACH Payment File

My requirement is to change the addenda records in th line item records starting with 7, which are generated after running ACH payment , i need to place some data instead of the original one starting at the position of 4th till 80 chars in length.
705ISA00NV 00NV ZZNV ZZNV 09100615300010000001
to be replced with few fields as per customer requirement at the underlined positions
705_ISA00NV 00NV ZZNV ZZNV 09100615300010000001_
I figured out that the Function modules being used are FI_PAYMEDIUM_ACH_30 and FI_PAYMEDIUM_ACH_40 dealing with these line items.
My question is to replace some chars in the line item i have coded by copying the standard to ZFM so is it sufficeint to replace the respective standard with z function modules or do i need ot create a new copy standard ACH format to ZACH and replace all the five event funciton modules to z function modules. If somebody worked in this area, please extend your help regarding the same.

Vivek

Hi Ravi Kumar,

ACH Addenda Record 7 Segment Identifier

We are currently attempting to implement ACH Files for Child Support Payments. I have completed configuration in the Payment Medium Workbench. I am able to get a file downloaded with the addenda record 7 containing the HR information. However, the addenda record contains more information than is required. Only segment *DED* is required, however the file also contains segment *ISA* and *BPR*. What am I missing in configuration that is causing these additional records to appear? How do I get rid of ISA and BPR from writing to the file?
Thanks.

We have created a Z version, it is advisable not to edit SAP standard FM.
Your Qs,
SAP has suggested to modify the payment format with event 31, as an enhancement to even 30. Have you had any thoughts/suggestion on this?
It depends on your requirement. If you are using PMW standard ACH format with payment supplement CCD. Then I will suggest you to use FI_PAYMEDIUM_ACH_DETAILS_CCD and assign it to note to payee config, you don't have to touch event 30
If you are using PMW standard ACH format with payment supplement CTX. Then I will suggest you to use FI_PAYMEDIUM_CTX_FG_30 in event 31.
Otherwise use the functional module initial suggested by you in event 31 becuase here you can take care of further custom requirements
Thanks

ACH - Incoming File!

Hi Sappers!!
I would appreciate if someone could provide some inputs on the following issue on ACH payments.
Scenario:
We send ACH file to bank for effecting payments. Bank (Citi) processes the file and logs the items that have error for eg: amount error, routing number error etc..Then it creates a file in ACH format called Return Item File (RIPF) which contains a list of items that got rejected while processing.
Question:
Do we need to upload RIPF in SAP. If yes, then how can we upload this information in SAP.
Appreciate your time!!
Vj

Hi Vj,
Based on the information you provided, the RIPF file gets created/generated whenever there is some incorrect info, which would be wrong amount ( in the sense that the amount is not in the place it should be), which i guess should be corrected by the print program which generates the original ACH file. In case of other errors like routing number error, you would have to check the logic behind the payment program - Most probably that would come from the house bank i.e used in the payment program, so that would be a master data correction.
In other words, you need not load the RIPF file into SAP - However based on the inputs from RIPF file, you would have to make changes to master data in SAP R/3 or make changes to the print program for ACH file to make sure that the file does not get generated (ideal situation).
Hope that helps..
Thanks,
Nandita

ACH Addenda record

Hi All,
We are using PMW with an ACH CCD format to send the ACH files to our Bank. But certain vendors require us to send ADDENDA record as given below for e.g. in the ACH payments
705ISA00NV 00NV ZZNV ZZNV 09100615300010000001
Can we enter this information in the item text of the vendor invoice, if yes then what will be the config to polulate this information
in the addenda record of the ACH files. Due you think activation of segment/item text check box in the NOTE TO PAYEE config of payment method in fbzp can do the trick?
Thanks

GL Query for ACH demands a Blank Column

This is a very basic question...
I'm writing an SQL query to extract GL information from our Enterprise engine. The ACH format requires the format of the output file to include "filler" columns containing a single space.
Using SQL I can extract all of the information. How do I add filler columns to the output of the Query?
Eventually this will be spooled out to a file, encrypted and send to JPM Chase as a "check register".

Your question seems to discuss a problem with EBS.
The proper forum for EBS is General EBS Discussion
In this forum, the RDBMS forum, you'll probably get no response at all.
