DME payment file to be exported automatically

Hello
We currently generate a payment medium in the form of a text file in different formats according to the payment method. This file is created when the last step of the payment run is carried out, and then the relevant person goes to DME administration FDTA and exports the file to a folder in the network. This file is afterwards imported into the bank system.
The problem we have is from the point of view of security and auditing since the file can be edited once exported and before being imported into the bank system.
For that, we are trying to automate the export of the payment medium. I have tried using the "file name" in the output control but although the log tells me that the output was transferred successfully, this is not happenning. However if I go again to FDTA and export the file (the system tells me that this was already exported although I can not find the file in the specified folder), then this is exported correctly (to the same specified location)
Can anyone tell me what we may be doing wrong? Also, does anyone know of a way of making the output file non-editable?
Or any other possible solutions to this issue?
thanks a lot

Diego - Here I have just corrected the spelling mistake in the above posting:
If you use DMEE (payment medium workbench) then in the variant, which you define in OBPM4 and assign it to a specific house bank and account ID, you specify the file name and path.
e.g./usr/sap/interfaces/R3Q/out/common/CGS_OUT_TAXACH
Here '/usr/sap/interfaces/R3Q/out/common' is the path to the SAP server and CGS_OUT_TAXCH is the file name. The path is case sensitive and typically you use lowe case letters.
When you run print program, the files get created and stored in the SAP server as per the above path. SAP also adds a 4 digit number to the file name and the file will be CGS_OUT_TAXACH0163. The four digit number is incremented every time a new file is created, something similar to our FI document number, to prevent the old file being overwritten by a new file.
After the file is created you can access the file using T-code AL11. In this screen " SAP Directories", you can then drill down to the final destination where the file is stored. So first you will see '/usr/sap/interfaces' (which will be at the bottom of this AL11 scree). Double click on this. Then you will see R3Q (which is the SAP system in this case Quality. In Production it will probably R3P). Like this keep double clicking on each sub directory 'R3Q', then 'Out' and then 'Common' and you will find the file which was created by your print program.
In order to prevent people from changing/editing this file, nobody (except the administrator) gets access to this directory. There will be a batch job (which is event driven and it will be kicked off as soon as this file is saved in this directory) which will pick up this file, encrypt it using PGP encryption program and send this file to the bank using FTP program. So nobody ever handles the file manully.
When the bank receives the file they can decrypt the file (based on the keys or passwords given by you) and then they can read the file and process.
We can also ask the bank to send a confirmation. This confirmation will contain total no. of wires in the file and the amount. Once we get the confirmation we can cross check the total with the number of wires sent by us and the total amount. All this - the process of encryption, FTP to bank, receiving confirmation and checking the confirmation sent by bank within SAP - requires custom program. SAP also has a standard product called Bank Communication which is a
add-on product with a separate licence fee etc.
Hope the process is clear. By this process you can ensure that no user ever handles the fie manually.

F110 DME payment file: add a number of lead days to posting and value date

Hello,
For an Italian company, the DME payment file (F110) needs to be checked and approved by an accountant after it is created. This takes 3 to 4 days after which the file is sent to the bank. The bank will reject the file if the value date is three days late (date which the bank uses to process the file on). For fiscal reasons the accounting clerks need the have the same posting date as the value date
I managed to set the value date in the DME files a couple of days later. The setting I used (FBZP -> bank determination -> value date) adds the number of lead days to the value date on the basis of the posting date as defined by the user in F110. For some reason I cannot set it to 0 days, it always adds up 1 day. Is that a normal effect or have I changed the settings in the wrong way?
I found another setting in customising ("define value date rules") which seems to have the same functionality. In the help function it is said that the setting does not influence the payment program and that the program manages the value date. Is there another setting? Can this problem be solved without the help of a programmer?
Thank you very much!

Issue in Turkey DME payment file

Hello Gurus,
We have an issue in F110 payment file. We have configured DMEE for "GARANTI BANK" for Turkey country. we have encountered an issue while creating payment file in F110. System is not considering into the payment file if a vendor is having multiple bank accounts in the vendor master and invoices are posted with different partner bank type. We are not facing any issue for mutiple invoices paid for same vendor with same vendor bank account. The below example will give clear picture.
1) Vendor-1075847 having two different bank accounts in vendor master with partner bank type-0001 & 0002
2) Total three invoices are due for payment out of these, two invoices are posted with bank type-0002 and remaining invoice is with bank type-0001
3) When I run F110 for all three invoices, invoices gets cleared but in payment file to be sent to bank showing only one invoice amount which was posted with bank type-0001.
4) I believe that I need to do some changes in DMEE tree configuration to get all invoices information in the payment file but no idea that in which segment & tag to be done.
It woudl be great if any one shares their ideas/experiences in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Hello Friends,
We have come to the conculsion that whenever line items are splitting in F110 as shown in the attached screen shot, system not picking up the entire amount into the payment file which was cleared in the payment run. This issue is encountering only when payments are dividing into line items for that particular vendor.
For above example: first line item having two invoices to be cleared consiting of amounts 258,00 & 129,00(partner bank type-0001) and second line item having only one invoice(amount-119,00) related to same vendor(with partner bank type-0002). Because of this split at F110 level..., payment file which is sending to bank getting only first line item invoices amount-387,00(258,00+129,00) instead of whole amount-506,00.
This issue might be resolved by combining these two line items into one line item or by making changes in the payment medium workbench format(DMEE tree). I have considered & tried all possible field in FBZP & vendor master and unluckly nothing workedout.
Please share you inputs. It deliberately need at this point of time.
Thanks in advance

I have created a DME Tree structure for PAYM. This structure contains header & line items. Header will contain the vendor bank master data inputs & Total payment payable by the bank per vendor for each payment run. The line items contain both invoices & credit memos details & their corresponding amounts.
Issue is getting the total value of all the invoice credit memo's in the header Field payment.
Currently, it sum-up the values without any sign in the payment file.
Below are the structure screen shots. Really appreciate quick response.
Structure
Header Field payment
Using Aggregation of Ref AMOUNT from line item
Line item reference field Amount
Structure field value of line item payment.
Kindly help to achieve this summation field value for the header.

DME payment file Citibank Paylink

Does any one have experience with payment file generated in tx F110 in format that Citibank uses, called Paylink?
Before I start to program myself in ABAP maybe there are ways to save time and money to get the payment orders (open items with vendors) extracted from SAP.
Thanks for your attention!

Thank you.
The sum and the number of credit lines (payment to the Vendor) was available. I wasn't sure how to get the debit line info, as it is our information, as to how much payment has been made from our bank account.
To ease the process, we will just hardcode the number of debit line items as "1" and then aggregate the Amount fields for both total Debit and Credit sum.
Thank you for your information. It was helpful.

F110 Automatic Payment: Create payment file and create remittance

Hello,
I'd like to know the steps to create payment file and remittances in Automatic payment process (F110).
Thanks in advance

Hello Emanula,
payment medium entries are customized in "payment method Country details". You have to decide whether you want to use the PMW or the classical paymentprogram.
The paymentadvices are generated from the paymentprogram by using the parameters from the CC-data of the paymentmethod - Box "Payment advice control".
At least: Don't forget to maintain the parameters in f110 "Printout/data medium"
Hope this gives you a help.
Best regards

Creating Payment File in SAP after executing Automatic Payment transaction

Hi,
Need to know how is the Payment file created in SAP after executing Automatic Payment Transaction and how do I see the file and the fields.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
If you are using EDI format for sending the file to the Bank, then you need to map the fields to segments. You can consider basic type PEXR2002. You also need to make configuration settings - like enable payment method for EDI etc.
Once the payment run is executed you can run DME - Data Medium Exchange to generate Idocs for the payment run.
Thanks

Nedd to configure DME(payment transaction) ve to change setting

Hi experts,
I need to change the standard entry class code in the batch header (batch is created by the programs SAPFKPY3 and RFKPYL00_MASS). Currently the batch header is PPD (for consumer and business).
I need to modify it like- PPD for consumer and CCD for businees.
Can you please tell me how can i run this batch....its giving me an error ACH:No payment medium created...(i am not able to create this)
Please suggest how to go about this.
Thanks,

Hello Sam
When configuring the payment methods for the country (transaction OBVCU), choose the payment medium program as RFFOM100.
From se38, pls read the documentation for the program, which will give you the various options & the required config too.
You would also need to configure the instructions keys as required.
To generate the DME file, you have to run the automatic payment program with this payment method.
After the payments have been successfully posted, you can go to DME administration and with the help of dme manager download files on your PC.
SAP has determined that the standard print programs for automatic payments will no longer be supported, and will be replaced by transfer structures created by a tool called the DME Engine.
This tool enables the business to create DME output files without ABAP development, and can be attached to a print program and form for the creation of Payment Advices.
Outside of the DME Engine (DMEE), the majority of the configuration takes place within the following IMG menu path:
IMG Path: Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Media -> Make Settings for Payment Media Formats from Payment Medium Workbench
Config
Assign Selection Variants
IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Media -> Make Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Payment Medium Workbench -> Create / Assign Selection Variants or transaction
OBPM4..select your format that you are using
Check in FBZP config that all is linked!
Although this is bitty but you need to work through it!
Start with FBZP, create all there than go to DMEE either to create your own format or use the standard ones.. than go to the menu path above and work through from create to assign...

DME Payment Formats

Hi, I am working on a DME issue. Here the Funct Consultant has created a new payment format in which it ll pick the IBAN number in place of Bank A/C number of vendor for Automatic Payment transaction (F110) of Open Orders. The requirement is while doing the payments if the IBAN is blank then it should pick the bank ac number for that vendor.i might need to add a Function Module for this one but I ve debugged the program but not getting from where its getting the value for IBAN. Could you please give me some suggestion in order to solve this.
Thanks.

Payment file Denmark

Hi all,
I am going to create payment file for a Danish customer that have Nordea bank. Has anyone set up a file for a Danish company with Nordea bank?
If so, what format, Comma delimited format for payments (UTF-format) or EDI/4-format?
Do I have to create a RFFO-program from scratch (I can´t find a standard program) or do I have to use DMEE? If so, where can I find how to create a DMEE-file?
Best regards Lisa

Hi
Creating Format Trees
       1.      Call the DME Engine by entering transaction DMEE.
       2.      Choose a tree type.
       3.      Enter a name for the format tree, usually the name of the format itself.
For PAYM format trees, you need to create a corresponding Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) format as described here. The PMW format and the DMEE format tree must have identical names, so if you have already created the PMW format, be sure to enter the same name for the DMEE format tree.
       4.      Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Create.
       5.      In the dialog box that appears, specify whether the format tree is to be used to generate a flat file or an XML file.
The DMEE: Create Format Tree <format tree> screen appears.
       6.      Maintain data for the root node, called the header, which appears automatically.
       7.      Insert nodes hierarchically to represent the DME file layout description, and maintain the detailed view as needed
                for each node type.
       8.      Define a mapping procedure for each node that serves as a source field (for outgoing files) or a target field (for
                incoming files); based on the tree type, nodes that require mapping are elements, atoms, and action nodes. The
                DME Engine offers a number of special functions that enable you to model your format description as a format tree,
                such as aggregation.
       9.      Activate the format tree.
Once active, the format tree can be accessed and used as needed by calling applications.

Hi
System usually gives warning message F0417 aaginst the duplicatate print schedule , no need to do anything to get this message..
Please check print log in additional filed tab in F110 , you will find this warning message in the log.
Further you can chcek this warning message property if you can change this from warning to warning plus email or any other option, which will prevent /alert duplicate file processeing.
