FPY1 Payment in FICA

Hi '
Can any one give the suggession on this. I heve seen this information in Best practices.
"The output file from the payment run becomes the input file for accounts payable. The system uses the data to create an invoice using a one time vendor number for each customer to be sent a refund check. Once the file has been entered into the accounts payable system, the payments can be scheduled and checks issued according to the utilities normal business practice."
THanks in advance for your help..

Sri ram,
I am a basis guy but i have been running the nightly batch manually and kindaa understand how things work in FICA now.
From your statement, looks like you are talking about the AP refund file. This is how it works in my company. two or threee times a week, a manager runs this job through tcode FPY1. This generates an AP refund file on our server at the OS level. Then, this file is transferred to our mainframe which generates refund checks that need to be mailed out to the customers.
Can you tell me how the nightly batch is run in your company ? specially the mass activities in FICA ? like do you guys do the batch manually, or use job containers or third party tools like control m etc ?

Outgoing Payment in FICA( Cash & Bank)

Hi All,
Can anyone give idea about the above subjects.
Since i know how to post incoming payments.
In case if the customer paid overpayment or payment of security deposits.
Could anyone please give procedure with T.Code for this.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
RAM.

Hello,
In FICA, You make the Payments to the customers either
1. You have collected excess money from him
2. You have charged him excessively.
3. You have adjusted his bill resulting in payment to the customer
4. You want to pay him back the securtiy deposit
5. The customer is moving out ....net result being you owe him the money
6. Other reasons resulting in payment to the customer
In all the above cases, you have to REFUND the money to the customer....either through Bank or by cash or by Cheque...<it depends on your company policy>.....
For refund by Bank/ Cheque you can use T-Code FPY1.
For refund by Cash you can use either FPB0 or FPCJ <again depends on your project/co policy>
For payments by Bank /Cheque, you need to do the following settings
1. Define Own bank details
2.Define Bank user numbers for Payment medium
3.Define Payment methods <FQP1>
3.Define specifications for paying Co cd <FQP4>
4.Define accounts for payment program <FQC0: Posting area 1061>
5.Maintain bank selection
The path for above config is IMG\FICA\Business Transactions\Payments\Incoming outgoing payment creation.
For configuration of Cr Card payments,<Posting by FPB0>, You need to configure in IMG\FICA\Business Transactions\Payments\Payment cards\ Define Accounts for Payment card Institute & Define Specifications for Posting Settlement Document
For configuration fo Cash desk payments<FPCJ>, you have make the settings in IMG\FICA\Business Transactions\Payments\Processing incoming and outgoing payments Cash desk Cash journal
Hope this helps

Down payments in FICA

How can you handle downpayments in FICA? is there any additional functionallity besides the payment on account?
Best regards.

BPX:
there are 2 concepts here - the down payment and the security deposit. The previous poster provided you with information regarding security deposit processing. They are similar processes - the utility requests an amount to be paid up front and then does something with it. A down payment might more likely be associated with a new construction process where the customer is required to pay for some part of the construction, or other sale process. that type of down payment is integrated with SD billing plans, and uses FICA main/sub 3000/0010 and restriction value of 5. Then when the actual sale is recorded - the down payment is cleared against the new receivable.
regards,
bill.

FPY1 - Payment on Credit Card

Hi dudes,
FPY1 will be running on background for definitely (unless debug mode), is it correct ?
Now I am facing a problem. If I need to execute it in payment mode Credit Card, I need the "enter credit card data" interface to be prompt out. However, running FPY1 is background is impossible to trigger the call out screen on entering credit card data.
So, is it there is no possibility for me to get the credit card data from user input? is it any other user exit for me to modify the 'Payment Data' tab in order to get those credit card info ?
Thanks for the helps in advance.
Cheers,
Isaac.

Unfortunately I can't. I don't work for Adobe and have no visibility as to what may be happening. You should reach out to the support team through the second link I provided. After you select any option from the drop down menu, there is an I still need help button. Click that and you should be able to start a chat session with someone at Adobe.

FPY1 Payment medium

Hi gurus..
I created 3 function modules. These are called thru the payment medium that I configured to be used in FPY1.

FPY1 payment run

Hello Experts,
We have on scenarios like that
1) We are running payment run with daily scheduled jobs.
2) this payment ( FPY1 ) run with only CC = ABC, so that all the BP/CA selected for this run
3) There are 2 BPs and 2 CA associated with them
4) There is no payment method assign in CA,actually we give payment method at document Level ( FPE1 )
5) BP1-CA1-D1 ( have payment method D biller direct incoming )
6) BP2-CA2-D2 ( have payment method E Direct debit payment )
7) While job runs it is taking only payment method E,hence document D2 is cleared,but D1 is selected but not cleared.
8) So my doubt is how we can change the job or associated program so that it fills payment method D as well.
9) Or is there any table from where the payment run program picks the payment method.
Please give some solution for that.
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for your reply
1) Yes,payment method D is specified in PCC.
2) There is only one job for payment run with program
RFKK_MA_SCHEDULER
3) No document d1 does not belongs to other company.
4) No clearing lock.
Vikram,If i check the variant of my jobs, i found that there is one payment run is assigned
11/12/2013,PAD1. If i check this payment run payment method O is assigned.
It could be reason that this run is acting as template for job and job also running with this method O instead if D ( which is my requirement )
I am not sure about this.
Please help me.
Regards
Amit

FPY1 - payment log

Hi,
When FPY1 runs in the background it produces a lot of application log data. Out of all the postings, there are a handful that have information about payments that did not post for various reasons. Is there a way in the system to tell why a given payment has not posted without going to and/orthrough the application logs for FPY1? We would like to delete the application logs to keep the system smaller, especially the application logs that are growing out of control big.
Thank you,
mike

Mike:
In FPY1, there is payment list function - via the environment menu. There you can see either payments executed or payments which failed. The log provides more information about why a failure occurred than can be provided in the list function. You might also consider deleting old records/logs as you see fit - which might alleviate your storage issues.
regards,
bill.

Payment run (FPY1) and Dunning proposal Run (FPVA) not gettting executed

Dear All IS-U genius people,
When i am running the FPY1(payment run) and FPVA (Dunning proposal Run), i am getting following error:
C Interval from 0000000021 to ZZZZZZZZZZ MAHN20070712TST14 (in dunning run)
and
C Interval from 0000000021 to ZZZZZZZZZZ PAYP20070710TST01 (in Payment run)
I have seen that the Mass number ranges are there and properly assigned to the Document types.
Please help me to solve this error.
Regards,

Hello,
perhaps, I don't exactly understand, where the error is. The message
C Interval from 0000000021 to ZZZZZZZZZZ MAHN20070712TST14
is normally just an information message to tell you what range of business partners is processed. A mass activity always uses ALL possible numbers to build the intervals. During the run, the intervals are adjusted to existing values, as I described before -> the limits of this intervals are written to application log. But it is nomally not the range of really processed objects. If you have the possibility to restrict the selection of business partners (see FPY1, first tabstrip), then this selection is mixed up with built intervals (see function module FKK_DI_INTERVAL_INTERSECTION). Only the objects, that are in your selection are processed within a given interval.
Do you have a selection for business partners e.g. on the first tabstrip of FPY1? Are not all business partners processed you want to be processed?
Regards, Marina

Payment Program - Generate additional clearing documents

Hi.
When executing an FPY1 payment run, say for a contract account. All open items that fall on the same due date are grouped into one payment document.
Due to restrictions set by our reserve bank no direct debit may exceed R50000.00. For this reason we need generate payment documents not exceeding R50000.00 but equalling the payment amount.
Eg:
3 open items all due on the same day: R200000.00, R600000.00 & R50000 = R850000.00
Instead of one payment document of R850000.00 we need 2 payment documents of R500000.00 and R350000.00 respectively.
Does any one know how this can be achieved?
Using the events provided is seems you can manipulate the document generated but not the amount of documents generated.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
FPY1 - IS-U - FICA - Automatic Payment Program - Direct Debit

Hi.
I think that you should look into event 0610. It should be possible there to change amounts of payable units. Check documentation of the event for name of structure holding changeable items.

Outgoing check reconciliation in FICA

Hi Folks,
For issuing customer refunds, we are generating checks in FICA using FPY1 payment program. We activated the event 940 which allows outgoing payment documents to be transferred to GL individually without summarization.
In FI-AP, vendor payments are handled using payment program F110. When the electronic bank statement is loaded in FI, how can we reconcile the data for checks on the FICA side. We tried to manually clear the FICA related checks on the FI side, but it was not updating the check status in FICA.
How can we update the status of checks encashed in the FICA side once EBS is uploaded?
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi
I think this is a difficult one. I guess if you could not tell the bank to seperate the amounts by check lots, then you should somehow find a way of summing up the daily lots so that the bank reconciliation system to work with the daily check lot totals for easy matching with bank single credit entry.
You might need to talk with your developers to write a proigram to sumup the daily lot for the purpose of the recociliation system.
Thanks.
regards,
David

Bank Reconcilation Statement in FICA

Hi,
I am new for this FICA. We are doing BRS in fico.
But in FICA also we are receiving incoming as well as outgoing check.
My doubt can we do the BRS in one step for FICA payments and FICO Payments. If so or if not, Could you please give me the steps with transactions code.
It would be very helpful for my project.
Thanks in Advance for your help.
Sri ram.

Hello,
hmm...it is not a simple question to answer!!!
Ok..what I mean is
When it is identified that a customer needs to be paid u2018Refundu2019; one would create a repayment request , selecting u2018Repayment Requestu2019 check box & appropriate out-going payment method. With this all the repayments intended for refund would be paid.
Next u2018Transfer to GLu2019 <<FPG1>>program would be executed u2013where upon all the FICA items only single entry would be passed for amount £150 in FI-GL.
Now, when EBS statement is uploaded, the program is unable to determine the cheque refund document it would knock off.
Limitations of existing solution
It has been identified the following are problems are faced for 1:1 reconciliation of refunds.
1. Documents from FICA are transferred to SAP R/3 at summary level- not at itemised level.
2.EBS details contain details of each and every check en-cashed by the customer(s).
3.As documents from FICA are transferred to SAP R/3 at summary level no details of check are stored in SAP R/3. As-a-result, during EBS upload,one is not sure whether a particular cheque that has been issued in FICA is being en-cashed by the customer or not
Proposed solution for Cheque Refund Reconciliation
The solution for the above problem has been identified at two levels:
1.To transfer FICA-Cheque Refund items to SAP R/3 at item level instead of summarised level.
2.To enhance user exit FEB00001-so that based on the Cheque number that exists in the EBS file; it can clear the SAP R/3 document posted via FICA to GL transfer.
How to transfer FICA items to SAP R/3 at Item level
1.Be it for Repayment requests <T-Code FPTCRPO> or for Payments <T-Code FPY1>, Payment method is obligatory.
A separate document type has been attached to each and every payment method via T-Code FQP1
For Cheque Refund document type u2018CIu2019 is attached.
As a result whenever payment program is executed with any of these payment methods, payment document types shall be created with respective document types attached to the respective payment method.
Now next step is how to transfer documents created in u2018Cheque refundu2019
Payment Program to SAP R/3 at itemised level instead of summary level. For this, an event 0061 has been identified. In this FM, few steps of code has to added in such a way that during the transfer of items from FICA to SAP R/3, documents with document type u2018CIu2019 would have 1:1 items in SAP R/3. i.e. for each & every u2018CIu2019 document type in FICA, there would be a corresponding SAP R/3 posting.
Now with the customized FM, all the Cheque Refund documents created in FICA would be transferred to SAP R/3 ON 1:1 basis instead at summarized level.
The next and foremost step is enabling the EBS program to recognise the SAP R/3 document it has to clear when a cheque is en-cashed <received via EBS file>.
For this we need to enhance user exit FEB00001 for user exit enhancement.
Now upload your bank file after creating refunds in FICA, Transferring them to FI-GL. You can view BRS in FS10N for your GL.
Hope this helps

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.

Business scenario..for ISU and integration with R/3 modules..

Scenario:
1.     Client is providing Utility services to the customer and also to its own employees.
The service is also consumed by the employees who are treated as contract partners in ISU. The constraint is that the utility bill has to be deducted from their payroll, which is deducted monthly using a wage type from their pay roll, which is in SAP R/3.
2.     Similarly some of the contract partners are also vendors to the client (the vendor and contract partner is same). The consumption of utility bill is adjusted to the payment made by the client to vendor.
Questions :
1.     How we can deduct the utility bill of the employees from their payroll. Is there any integration of ISU with HR ?
2.               Also how can we clear the receivables in FICA since data can be pushed from FICA to FICO thru reconciliation keys but not vice versa ?
3.     How can the utility bill be deducted from vendors account and there is no standard link between vendor master to contract partner in ISU.
     Can anybody suggest any standard solution for these two scenarios or any work arounds .
Early solutions are highly appriciated
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
Please look into my answers below:
Questions:
1.     How we can deduct the utility bill of the employees from their payroll. Is there any integration of ISU with HR?
i.     There is no integration between ISU with HR. What you need to do is that create separate account determination id <say HR> and use this id in Contract account to identify that a particular contract account is an employee related ID.
ii.     Now at the end of the day or month collect the O/s balances of all the employee contracts in a form of flat file, use a BDC program to update the data in the HR table PA0014 <Please confirm with your HR colleague too> so that their pay would be = Actual payroll-Amount due.
iii.     After the above step, make sure that you run FPY1 <Payment run program> to clear all employee open items. You can have a separate payment method for Employees and attach the same in contract account
iv.     You can create a separate Z table to map Employee ID with a contract number so that during creation of flat file in step 1.ii above, your job becomes easier.
2. Also how can we clear the receivables in FICA since data can be pushed from FICA to FICO thru reconciliation keys but not vice versa?
i.     Please refer to point 1.iv above. You need to run FPY1 Payment run to clear employee receivables in FICA.
3. How can the utility bill be deducted from vendors account and there is no standard link between vendor master to contract partner in ISU.
i.     There is no integration between ISU with AP. What you need to do is that create separate account determination id <say AP> and use this id in Contract account to identify that a particular contract account is a Vendor related ID.
ii.     Now at the end of the day or month collect the O/s balances of all the vendors in a form of flat file, use a BDC program to update the data in the AP table BSIK so that amount to be collected from vendor = Actual amount-Amount due.
iii.     After the above step, make sure that you run FPY1 <Payment run program> to clear all Vendor open items. You can have a separate payment method for Vendor-Contract Accounts and attach the same in contract account
iv.     You can create a separate Z table to map Vendor number with a contract number so that during creation of flat file in step 1.ii above, your job becomes easier.
Additional points to be considered
1.     Check if at all separate clearing rules are needed for Employee- Contract accounts, Vendor-Contract Accounts & other contract accounts.
2.     Verify FM COMPUTE_CONTRACT ACCOUNT_BALANCES is useful in obtaining the balances of contract accounts <I do not have SAP ISU active system with me else I would have provided correct FM>
3.     There may be performance issues based on the volumes of the data.

Clearing control and Automatic clearing

Hello,
1.Why Automatic clearing(Business Transactions) is different from Clearing Control?
2.How Automatic clearing is linked to the Contract account?
3.Is it possible to mention both automatic clearing control and clearing control at two different fields so that based on my rquirement it should pick up automatically for to clear the open items through FPY1(payment Run)
4.How to overrule the clearing control settings for the contract account for to auto pick off Automatic clearing?
Regards,
Narn

Naren,
1.I hve looked into Auto clearing process but Can you give an example for to make me clear..
Best example is that you migrate your open items and open payments separately and you want to Set off open items and Open payments using some rules. This is done via FPMA.
2.Is that function module need to create user defined characterstic key?
You need to copy the standard, modify and attach it in the config in clearing rules
3.Can u explain clearly how the sytem is auto pickick off Automatic clearing over clearing control for certain grouped due items
It all depends on how you configure your clearing rules.
Criteria may/can be any or few of the following:
1. Oldest item first
2. When Invoice and Amount matches
3. When Invoice and Amount matches but with in Tolerance limits
4. When Invoice and Amount matches but outside Tolerance limits
5. Partial payment- to be posted as On Account or Clarification Account
6. Partial Payment to be posted to Division Gas first
7. If Parital Payment, to be divided among Gas, Electricity & Water in 50:40:10 ration <some ratio>
8. Treatment of partial payments different for Group Customers and Individual Customers
9. Treatment of Partial Payments to be linked to your Creditworthiness
10.Clearing Rules based on Collective and Non Collective CAs'
Much more......it all depends on how this is needed in your project & usually differs from Project to Project.
Does this help?
