SAP Biller Direct PDF Retrieval Error

Hi All,
We are getting error while opening PDF on Biller Direct portal. The error comes in pop-up as follows->
Adobe Reader could not open "XXX.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged or wasn't correctly decoded.
The original PDF document is stored in FileNet server and we are using a ABAP Function module GEN_EBPP_GET_INVOIVE_DETAIL to retrieve the PDF content from FileNet server and display it in Biller Direct application.
Note: The same PDF is getting opened from ABAP.
Pls let me know if there is any settings to be done in either ABAP side or in Visual Admin. I've checked VA entries in HTTP Provider and it is set MIME type as {.pdf,application/pdf}.
Is there any other information that i'm missing here. Pls give me a hint.Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Venkat

Hi
I also get something similar which I need to solve.
When going to biller direct via a url like http://<host>:<port>/bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp?ebppMode=S I see my pdf icon next to the open bill in the open bills list and clicking the icon displays my pdf correctly.
When going via a portal and clicking the same icon for the same invoice I get the same first popup asking if I want to open the pdf file (as in the case above with the same identifier name for the pdf file) but this time when I click Open then Adobe Reader opens a window with the message "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
Thus the portal connection cannot find the existing pdf file.

Biller Direct Format PDF

Nobody knows about how to change de format to PDF from this table 't_pdf' from this function APAR_EBPP_GET_SDINVOICE_DETAIL in the method IF_EX_EBPP_INVOICEDETAIL~GET_INVOICE_DETAIL
the idea is to take a PDF from a Server in File System a then transfer to the table through the biller show it in the web.
Thanks

How to create a link on a biller direct screen for downloading a pdf file

Hi,
My requirement is to create link on biller direct screen, when I click on that link a pdf document will be downloaded in local system. I need help on that

contd from previous post, excerpt from BD config guide:
Web Application
3. Displaying the bill document
The Web application displays the bill document.
If the bill document is displayed using a separate Web server (for example,
the Web server of an optical archive), then the URL for displaying the bill details
can be transferred at event 1235 when you create the bill list. The BAdI
FIS_INVOICEDETAIL is not called, but the Web application sends an HTTP
request to this URL. Since the Web application requests the bill data by request
to the Web server for bill details, the Web server does not need to have an
authentication mechanism. SAP delivers an example implementation for
accessing a Web server for bill details.
Connecting Other Billing Applications
As described above, SAP Biller Direct only makes available the display of bills from Sales and
Distribution (SD) in PDF format. If you want to use this function for bills with a different origin,
you need to proceed as follows. See the BAdI documentation for further details.
1. Create an implementation for event 1235. You have to set indicator XXML, XPDF, or
XMULTARCH (or all three) in table T_INVOICES so that a customer is able to load
XML or PDF data in the front end of SAP Biller Direct. Technically, this means you
ensure that the appropriate icons are shown.
2. Implement BAdI FIS_INVOICEDETAIL. This BAdI is called by the front end if the
customer selects the corresponding link. You can determine the required format using
I_INVOICE_FORMATS. Create the corresponding binary data, and fill table T_XML,
T_PDF or T_MULTIPLE_ARCHIVED_DOCS (or all three).
3. Then set indicator XXML, XPDF or XMULTARCH (or all three) in structure
C_INVOICE_FORMATS.
My Questions:
1. My PDFs are stored on a web server as described in step 3, does that mean that I don't need to use the BADI? How are these URLs generated? Does BD automatically know how to retrieve them from archivelink?
2. My documents are insurance bills, not S&D bills. Does that mean that I need to use the BADI as described in "connecting other billing applications"?
To me there is a lot of ambiguity in the way this is described in the configuration guide. Could use some help with the interpretation.

OTF to PDF - Getting blank PDF Internal table with CONVERT_OTF func module

All
i've captured OTF from smartforms and tried converting to PDF through 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' FUNCTIOn module and after emailing to external email id, i found logo is completely disturbed (characters in logo got mixed up)..... later i tried converting with ''CONVERT_OTF' function module, but here i'm getting blank PDF internal table....
what am i missing in both ?
my intention is converting otf to pdf and emailing...though there are thousands of similar threads are available , none of them are related to my exact problem, which is logo is getting mixed up or disturbed.... any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance

Getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on computers other than my Mac

I need some assistance. I keep getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on anything other than my Mac. I create them in either Illustrator or InDesign and I make sure that I select High Image Quality. I can view them just fine in my Acrobat reader, but the minute I send them out to others or view them on a PC with Acrobat Reader 7 i can't view them. I get this message "There was a problem reading this document (111)" Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Many PC users still use older versions of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. I know some people that absolutely refuse to update beyond Acrobat Reader 4.5, often times, that can contribute. Also if you've run PDF Optimizer and removed all the fonts. That can cause a problem.
Also, make sure you save pdf's with the .pdf extension. As much as they say the opposite PC's need to see that extension.

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

Which version of Acrobat?
What app are you printing from?
Which version of Mac or Windows?
Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?

FSCM Biller Direct all open items not displayed

Hi Experts,
We implemented Biller Direct but it doesn't display all open items from customer's account properly. Only SD invoices (billing documents) are being displayed with their PDF icons and are working fine.
Biller direct is not showing any other FI open invoices. Please advise.

Venkat,
As Samir suggested, I looked into Biller's XCM but I don't find. I would like to suggest you to create your own new page for this.

FSCM Biller Direct Call Center Payment Log

Hi,
We are using Biller Direct and Biller Direct Call Center for our dealers/customer AR processing.
Biller Direct is used by our Dealers to see their account balance and post payment online through Biller Direct web portal.
Biller Direct Call Center is used by our Account Receivable team to see our dealers account balance and to post payment with authorization from our dealers.
The main question is:
How can we see the deatilpayment log/detail on transaction posted through Biller Direct Call Center? Our AR team needs to identify which user from AR team that perform a specific payment. Please advise.
Is this something that can be setup through XCM or R/3 configuration?
We need to get the detail of "User ID" and "Date & Time" that a payment is done through Biller Direct Call Center.
I tried to look from the document changes on AR line item detail of the billing document that got paid. But, the document changes is only showing that user BD_POOL made the payment posting. The user id is setup in XCM for posting any transaction into R/3.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks,
Markus

Mohit,
Let me try to answer your questions:
u2022 What accounting entries are passed from SAP perspective and at what points in time?
A) SAP will post a CREDIT to the Customer AR item and a DEBIT to a Credit Card Receivable account when the payment is posted in FI. The DEBIT to the Credit Card Receivable account is included in the nightly Settlement run to be sent to the Processor for a deposit request.
u2022 How are charges levied by banks / financial institutions handled or can be handled?
A) There are Processor charges for authorizations and other services such as Fraud checking as well as the INTERCHANGE fee that is a percentage of the Settlement amount. This could be anywhere from 1.5% to 4% of the Invoice amount depending on the type of transaction and the agreement with the Processor.
u2022 How any fees / charges imposed by network processors / clearing houses handled on a transactional basis?
A) The processor will assess and collect these fees, typically on a monthly or daily basis and provide reporting to the Merchant regarding the fees charged.
u2022 Is this something which Standard SAP Config can accommodate and if yes where exactly? If not what custom development route is appropriate?
A) Standard SAP does not have the ability to assist with Settlement reconciliation or recognition/assignment of processing fees. This must be accomplished through Manual postings.
u2022 Does addition of third party providers like pay metric for interface plug-in help in segregating and processing of credit card charges any better?
A) Yes, ISVs such as Paymetric which provide integration between SAP and the processors do provide additional SAP and external reporting and functionality to assist with the reconciliation process and in determining the processing fees.
