F110 Payment processing - Changing Banks

Question

Hello,
I have a customer that wants to be able to process a payment run for a group of 250 vendors or so.  They want to be able to assign  1 million EUROS to Bank A,  250.000 Euros to Bank B, and 750.000 Euros to Bank C.   
Last time they ran it, they said it took them two hours to go into the proposal and manually change all of the vendors banks to make the money balance out between them. 
Does anybody know if there is an easy way to change a group of vendors payment bank without giving the customer access to FI12 or FBZP?    I've tried it but I've had to resort to manually changing each line item for each vendor.
thanks

Hi,
The amount that needs to be paid from your House Bank to the Vendor can be controlled using configuration OBVCU (you can also use FBZP). Under available amounts for your House Banks A, B and C you can define 1M, 0.25M and 0.75M.
What your AP team is currently doing is not efficient as they are manually changing the House Banks on the payment proposal to balance the outgoing payment amount. But from your requirement it seems the available outgoing payment amounts for the House Banks keep on changing from period to period. In that case OBVCU will either become a monthly maintenance exercise or the other alternative would be to look for a user-exit in which you can write custom code and reference the available amounts from a custom table. You can provide maintenance access to AP team for this custom table to update the available amounts.
