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.

  • 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.

  • Create payment batches for credit memos

    Hi,
    I want to create payment batch to pay several credit memos.
    When I issue "Select invoices" and "Build payments" processes, it does not select any of credit memos.
    I try to add manually the credit memos on "Modify payment batch" window, but after selecting the first credit memo it displays the message:
    "You cannot create a negative mount payment.".
    Please help me how to create payment batches for credit memos.
    Thank you.

    Hi Manish,
    I am using 11i version.
    Actually I followed the advices on this note, but still the same problem, the payment batch does not allow credit memos (as they are with negative amount), even when adding them manually.
    Please help me to find where is the problem.
    Thank you.

    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).

  • Sizing for SAP BCM (Business Communication Management)

    Hi All
    We have to provide a server sizing to be used for SAP BCM (Business Communication Management) module which will be intergrated with SAP CRM and is to be used for call support. As far as we have reached, we require a Windows server and will host MS SQL database with an approx consumer data of 63 lacs consumers.
    Please specify the sizing for this server
    Thanks in advance
    Lokesh

    Sorry, forgot to ask how much physical memory you have on each host.
    Let's split it to 2 topics.
    1. For ECC, since OracleDB and non-unicode page which are the 2 major factors won't be changed, so I would think here we could just do a math, as long as host A has enough memory which is allocated for Oracle and ECC (extended memory) on host B to be added up.
    2. For EP, memory tuning size is basically the same for HP JDK and SUN JDK, that each server node is allocated approximately 2.5GB RAM. Besides, 0.8-1GB RAM needs to be left for OS kernel. But in your case, host B is currently holding 200 users which is a big jump for host A(note: only active user quantity matters here).
    That's fine if main physical memory is a little short for host A, utilizing multiple less powerful servers as 2nd tier application server to do the load balancing is also a solution with lower TCO.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to create a batch for a material, with batch characteristic input?

    I am currently using BAPI_BATCH_CREATE to create batch for materials in my program. However, I find no way to input the batch characteristics. Is there any existing function module responsible for that? Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can use FMs 'CLVF_INSERT_AUSP' or 'CLVF_INSERT_AUSP' to insert or update characteristics for materials.
    In the structure INS_AUSP or UPD_AUSP -
    OBJEK corresponds to the material number,
    ATINN is the characteristic name,
    KLART is the class type which is '001' for materials, and
    ATWRT is the characteristic value.
    Populate values into the above fields for the batch of materials and call this FM.
    Reward points if found useful...!
    Cheers

  • Creating Unplanned Batches for Goods Receipts

    Recently we had an incident where a goods receipt for a final product did not meet an analytical FDA requirement. We were able to segregated the portion of the material that did not meet this regulatory commitment. We have a manufacturing process in place that will allow us to rework this material however we need to assign this failed portion a new batch number. Since part of this final product is good we want to avoid a re-id of the total quantity of the goods receipt. Is there a way we can create unplanned batches and split a goods receipt for a planned process order after manufacturing has occurred?

    Ryan,
    For these requirements, you might want to consider classifying your batches. Through classification function, you can assign multiple characteristics to your materials (e.g., one characteristic for inspection type, one class for original batch number, and one class for process order number) and assign specific characteristic values in batch.
    I'm not sure which version of SAP you're currently using, but the following is the link to help.sap.com on batch management.
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/25/28428b4f7811d18a150000e816ae6e/frameset.htm">BatchManagement_46c</a>
    Batch classification is specifically discussed in Batch Specifications section.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 .

  • Bank Communication Management (BCM) - File Formats

    Hi, I wanted to know the file formats in which I can generate files from a BCM module.
    I read that standard SAP Idoc is not supported; can someone help me with the formats supported or confirm if Idoc is supported now.
    Can someone share with me the technical architecture of BCM and the available connectivity with SAP PI.
    thanks and regards

    Hi
    All the standard PMW (payment medium workbench) formats are supported in BCM.
    Have a look at the T Codes OBPM1/ OBPM2/ OBPM3/ OBPM4. You can find various formats.
    You can find the documentation for the same in the below path:
    SPRO>IMG>Financial Accounting (New) -->AR/AP --> Business Transactions --> Outgoing Payments --> Automatic Outgoing Payments --> Payment Media --> Make Settings for Payment Medium Format from PMW.
    For instance, you can use ACH format for US payments.

  • What product do u recommend for creating a newsletter for a small non-profit community association?

    I just signed up for this forum. I´m thinking of creating a newsletter in Swedish for a small non-profit association in Sweden. Since everyone can download Adobe reader for free I´m thinking of using Adobe for the newsletter. Is there a light version available for non-profit assocaiations?

    Acrobat can't be used to create the newsletter from scratch. For that you
    need to use some word processing or layout application, like Word or
    InDesign. Acrobat then comes into the picture when you want to convert the
    original file format to the universally-used PDF format. If your needs are
    basic, you can use Acrobat Standard, which is a cheaper version (with less
    features, of course) of Acrobat Pro, but is totally capable of creating PDF
    files from those formats I mentioned before.

  • 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.
