Configuring ACH IAT payment method

Hello Experts,
We are trying to implement a new payment method (ACH IAT) for client's vendor payments. IAT is a new standard class entry (SEC) code that will replace the CBR and PBR SEC codes currently in use today. NACHA rules will require the IAT code and format of all ACH payments entering or exiting the U.S.
As this is a newly introduced payment method SAP had introduced an OSS note (sapnote_0001343600) in 2009 which we had successfully implemented. After a payment process the system is successfully generating a DME file. It seems that the DME file which we have sent to the Bank is not complying to the exact format. Some of the errors pointed out are :
I am also listing the problem data points that business has highlighted :
1. Record Type 6 u2013 Position 4-12 : Should contain the standard Routing Number that indentifies US RDFI at which the receiver maintains the account. It is coming as 0
2.Record Type 6 u2013 Position 13-16 : Number of addenda records associated with entry detail record. They should not be 0.
3.Record Type 7 u2013 Addenda type code 14 u2013 Position 41-74 : Contains foreign RDFIu2019s routing/transit number. Some other value is appearing
4.There should not be two record types of 7 u2013 Addenda Type code17.
5.Record Type 7 u2013 Addenda type code 18 : Mandatory foreign bank info (Bank Name, Code for numbering scheme, Bank Identification number) missing completely.
Looking forward to your valuable inputs from your end.
Thanks and regards

Hi Sheli,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response.
I have already configured the particular structure for the DME file that has been generated. The issue here is with the data.
May I ask whether it will be possible for you to kindly help out with the table from where the file is fetching these records. Couldn't figure out those exactly. I think most of the data are being fetched from REGUH, REGUP, REGUT tables but there are some places where the same data which needs to be repeated in another position is not getting populated. Thus I'm not sure whether the system is calling the same table the second time or its some other table.
It will be of great help if you can help me out with the list of tables from which the DME file is getting prepared specially the following :
1. Bank Routing Number
2. Addenda records associated with entry detailed records
3. Why there are two line items of 717
4. Foreign Correspondent Bank Details
Thanks in advance for the help.
Have a nice day !
Thanks and regards

Canada ACH/EFT payment method

Hi,
I am looking for SAP standard program from Canada ACH/EFT payment method, for "CPA 1464" format.
I already looked into 'RFFOCA_T' but the output file format is different than
the "CPA 1464" format.
Also looked into the DME tree, but looks like it has Canada '005' format.
Any ideas ?
Thanks !
Lakshmi

Hi,
Have you succeeded in setting up this 005 format?

Payment method configuration

Need help in configuring the Wire Payment method without using EDI. I did the config using RFFOUS_T as the payment medium program. But it is not working out. Please provide complete, detailed config steps for setting up this payment method.
What should be filled in the program variant RFFOUS_T when setting up payment parameters?
Please also let me know what are the various ways of setting up wires payments (for eg, wires thru EDI, wires without EDI )
Thankyou very much

Hi Lakshmi ,
         I implimented wire transfers in one of clients.
I am giving detailed procedure with journal entries.
Just see the below :---
Automatic Payment Program (APP) for Funds Transfer.
1)     Purchase Invoice from the Vendor. (F-43) : --
                        Inventory Raw Material a/c DR 1,000
                                          TO    Vendor a/c          1,000
2)     APP (F110) :--
Maintain Parameters.
Schedule Proposal.
Edit Proposal.
Schedule Payments. : In this step, Paying document generated.
                    Vendor a/c DR 1,000
                                    TO Check Issue a/c (clearing a/c) 1,000
     Note for 2nd point:   We are making Payment to Vendor by Bank Transfer.
That means Company Code House Bank is depositing the
Amount in Vendoru2019s House Bank through online Transfer.
3)     We need to Pass the Vendor bank details to the our (Company code)
House Bank for online Transfer.
             Vendor bank details contain the following details:--
                         Vendor Name.
                         Vendor Bank Name.
                         Vendor Branch Code.
                         Vendor Account Number.
Note for 3rd Point: The End user need to run the u201CZ Programu201D in SE38 for extracting the Vendor Bank details to Excel or Word Document on Desk top of Computer.
For this, we need to prepare the Functional Specifications defining the logic
That contains the Table names. Latter I will send to you Logic.
4)     Now the End user have Extracted Excel or Word Document on his Desk top.
The End user should have an access to login to Companyu2019s House Bank Portal (website) in order to upload the Excel or Word Document.
5)     Based on the Excel Sheet that the End user upload ,
Company House Bank will transfer the amount to Vendors bank.
And this information will be updated in Company House Bank Website.
6)     The End user login to Company House Bank website and down load the
Excel sheet containing the Vendor Payment details.
7)     The End user needs to run the Z Program and upload this Excel Sheet.
Automatically the following entry needs to be generated.
         Check issue a/c DR   1,000
                 To ICICI Bank a.c     1,000
              Note :-- The Check issue a/c will be knocked off.

Payment method(s) are not allowed for this program / Program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM

Dear Friends,
In Se38 abap editor, I entered the program RFFOM100, i entered the details program run date,identification future,paying company code,payment methods T, House bank, Account Id and executed the program. I am getting the error 'Payment method(s) are not allowed for this program'.
Payment method S is not used in F110, It was not mentioned in vendor master or vendor invoice.It is not mentioned in fbzp in bank determination. When i tried to delete payment method 'S' the system shows a message Payment Method S is being used in the company code.
In the program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM, i entered the details program run date,identification future,paying company code,payment methods T, House bank, Account Id and executed the program. I am getting the error 'Program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM: No records selected'. But there open items or invoices.
Please suggest how to resolve the errors.
Regards
Sridhar

Hello,
Why are you directly executing these programs?
You will not expect these program to execute directly by going to SE38.
I would have configured the relevant payment methods in the country with DME structure or classical RFFO* programs, which in turn pick up the inherent programs at the time of running F110.
For example, if you need to generate BACS file for country GB, either you copy the GB_BACS to ZGB_BACS or use GB_BACS directly in FBZP settings.
Make sure that you have maintained OBPM1 / OBPM2 / OBPM3 and OBPM4 settings properly.
The system automatically gives the access to system RFFOAVIS_FPAYM. Prepare a variant against this program in F110. Relevant file gets generated to folder path mentioned in OBPM4 will get generated. The file get generated can be seen in AL11.
Hope this is informative and solves your issue.

Ravi

Outgoing payment methods in CRM 7 webUI is not inline with CRMC_BUAG_PAYM

Hi,
We have requirement to set up outgoing payment at FICA document level for refund purpose.
Currently this is feasible using FPE2 transaction in ISU.
However, we have the requirement to have this option in CRM 7.
In CRM 7, the navigation of setting up outgoing payment at document level is :
Account Balance -> Account Balance Overview -> item display -> More -> Outgoing Payment.
But, in the dropdown of payment method in that screen, I am getting only below options.
Outgoing Payment via Bank
Outgoing Payment via Payt Card
I checked the configuration of payment methods in my Country code both in CRM and ISU and there EFT, CCard and Cheque refunds are already configured as outgoing payment method. This is the configuration of CRMC_BUAG_PAYM.
Any suggestion as how I can populate those details in this CRM 7 WebUI dropdown ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bodhisattwa

Found this configuration in ISU.
Also, refreshed the shared memory area for FICA in CRM SPRO. Now the issue is resolved and it is displaying correctly in CRM 7.

IDOCs not created for Payment method "P" and "B"

Dear Experts,
I have executed the Automatic Payment program for three payment methods (P,V and B - Foreign Currency) in one Run ID. Payment run was successful but it has created IDOCs for the documents / Vendors attached with payment method "V" but IDOCs were not created for the payment methods "P" and "B". I have checked the configuration relating to payment methods and those were assigned with Form details and the maximum amount is also defined in the payment methods.
Can any one suggest me where I had made the mistake / where I need to check the configuration settings.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Ramnath.

Incorrect payment method in Proposal

Hi,
We are trying to run a payment proposal for ACH for payment method "T". However in the proposal run we also see vendor invoices which have payment method "C". They are marked as red and will not be paid. But the question is why does these document flow in our proposal, when we want only records with payment method T.

Hi Angu
It is normal that this item is appearing in the exception, inspite of different payment method. Because you have selected the vendor in your payment run, and now you can either choose to pay that line items by changing the payment method or ignore it by leaving it as it is in exception list.
But to avoid this line item even to appear in the exception list of your payment run, you can further filter the documents by entering 'T' in the free selection against payment methods in the vendor master record (LFB1-ZWELS).

ACH IAT Amount in USD

Hi,
We are configuring ACH IAT file format. However,
In line 622, the bank is asking for USD amount, whereas my file is picked up with the foreign currency.
For example,
6227654098700009             0000016640189698240                              1021000320000001
In the 622 line the amount the bank is asking is USD amount. However, the amount that is filled in file is in
foreign currency SGD amount 0000016640
At the same time, trailer 8200 line, the amount coming is total of all foreign currencies, which is incorrect.
Bank would expect to see the debit total and credit total in USD.
Is there anything that I need to do in order to get the USD amount instead of foreign currency SGD amount.
Thanks in advance.
Kindest Regards,
Ravi

Create new payment method "GIRO"

Dear SAP Gurus,
Is possible somebody could help me with the configuration of the payment method "GIRO" in FBZP and the steps (Tcodes) to prepare and understand how must be proceed this payment method in SAP?
Thank you very very much in advance for your help
Jordi

Hi Sap.Solutioning,
Thanks for your answer, however, I already saw that point where it describes the file format and that is not exactly what I would need. What I need is to know how is the payment method configured in FBZP (for example, does it need a CME?) and also which is the process (Tcodes) to follow in order to process this kind of payment. Maybe I am being confused, somebody could clearify me a bit the process in SAP?
Thank you all for your help

Populate payment method automatically in BSEG-ZLSCH from customer master

Hi Guru,
Any idea how I can set up SAP so that the payment method in customer master is automatically populated into field BSEG-ZLSCH when posting CUSTOMER invoices.
I noted that this is automatically done for vendor invoices.
Many thanks
Linda

If it is automatically happening in case of vendor invoice, it is probably coming from the payment method defaulted in the payment term configuration in OBB8. Payment method does not default from the vendor master or customer master. Payment term does get defaulted from the vendor / customer master into invoice document entry.
This is how it works - when you specify payment method(s) in customer/vendor master, automatic payment program considers them along with the payment method configuration in FBZP (payment method in country / company code, bank determination, etc.) and then determines the payment method for the automatic payment program. When you do not want system to do it, you can override it by specifying a payment method during invoice document entry into the system.
If you want a payment method to be defaulted during invoice entry, I guess the only way is to write a substitution rule using T Code OBBH.

Configuration of ACH and WIRES as payment methods

I chose the correct program in Classic Payment Medium which is RFFOUS_T to make payments by WIRES. When I go to paymetn run, in the proposal log I get the following messages:
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
Message no. FZ328
...none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
Message no. FZ347
... payment not possible because of reported error
Message no. FZ311
Information re. vendor 1000000/ paying company code ABCD ...
Message no. FZ305
payments by EDI / IDoc generation
Message no. FZ797
IDOcs were generated for the following entries
Message no. FZ760
Diagnosis
A payment IDoc is created for each individual payment. The configuration settings governing this are made in the table containing the EDI-compatible house banks and payment methods.
System Response
The house banks and payment methods in question are displayed.
I have done all the configuration correctly as far as setting up the pmt method. It also exists in vendor master. Where am I going wrong.
My understanding is that when we use classic payment medium program for WIRES and ACH it is RFFOUS_T. Let me know if my understanding is corrrect? Is there any form that I need to define in SAPscript or any other configuration required from my part. Also if you can tell me how do we distinguish between ACH and WIRES because they use the same payment medium program RFFOUS_T.
If anyone can provide me with step by step configuration of WIRES in SAP, it will help a great deal and will help me figure out where am I going wrong. Also i someone can tell me the difference in configuration of ACH and WIRES??
Would like to thank in advance if my problem gets resolved and will definitely assign points.

The need to define "wires" is purely business decession. If the users want to identify the vendors and restrict mode of payment to "wires" only, then you go for that.
Just add this method to the vendor master data.
reward if useful.

ACH payment method US- Value date in DME

Hi,
We are using ACH payment method. After the payment program is executed, through Environment>payment mediumDME administration, we download the txt file which is sent to the bank. In this file format, apart from the date in the header record, we find another date with record type 5 positioned at 70-75.
From which table and field this value is being populated? Also, if we need to change this date to the next day ( i.e. payment program is executed today, but this date should be the next day).
I did configuration in FBZP - value date ( put the days as 1); and also in SPRO: Define value date rules for bank transactions and assigned the payment method to bank transaction.
Despite all this; I do not see that the date in the DME file is not getting changed (position 70-75). I see that value date in REGUH table is changed to the next day.
So my questions are:
From which table this date is getting populated?
How to change this date to the next date?
Do we need to use any user exit? If so which one ?
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
thanks
Srinivasa Vepa
Sorry , I posted in the wrong forum. Please ignore this. Posted in SAP Financials

Srinivas-
That field in company batch header with record type is called "effective entry date". Please look at the attached thread.

Configuration of Wires as payment method

What is the configuration done to set up "wires" as payment method. Please provide steps. I know setting up payment co. code, creating pmt methods per co. code and all those steps. All I want to know is what is needed to be configured in DME and the sapscript for wires. If anyone has done that, please provide the steps.
Thankyou in advance.

The need to define "wires" is purely business decession. If the users want to identify the vendors and restrict mode of payment to "wires" only, then you go for that.
Just add this method to the vendor master data.
