Lockbox BAI2 - EDI 820 Payment Advice

Hello All,
Thanks very much for your time.
We currently have lockbox with BAI2 format file coming in from the bank for all our customers.
As an enhancement, we want to implement lockbox payment advice to come directly from the customer through EDI 820 payment advice and will only receive the payment header (the 6 record) on the lockbox file from the bank.
The small customers will still follow the current process - send their check and payment advice to the bank and the detail will be transmitted via the BAI2 lockbox file.
I know this can be done - but have some questions regarding the timing of the files and the set up process.
When the EDI 820 payment advice file comes in first, the system can be set up to wait for the header file from the bank to clear the customer account / open items. But if the lockbox file gets in the system before the EDI 820 payment advice file, the payment will get posted on account based on the MICR number without any customization process. Is there a process that has been successfully implemented to deal this scenario?
Please let me know and thanks again for your help.

Incoming payment advice or outgoing?  I don't have the details with me, but roughly, you will have to work with the ABAP and EDI people to convert the EDI into the relevant IDOCS (I think the IDOC type is PEXR2002 and msg type is PAYEXT). For automatic postings for incoming EDI/IDOC payment advices the FI consultant will then define the posting rules to the relevant G/L accounts (TCode OT83).
Thanks,
Frank

  • Mapping EDI 820  (remittance advice) to IDOC

    Hi,
      Can anyone give me the steps required to do a mapping of EDI 820 (Remittance advice) to IDOC? If you have the mapping already, can you send that to me at garapatic at yahoo.com

    Hi Greetson,
        Before I posted information on this forum, I checked the web to see if I can look at any helpful stuff for this mapping and I could not find any.
       I tried to look for EDI EDIFACT stuff on the website for my mapping EDI vendor(Biztalk) and could not find any.
       Can you point me to specific websites which will be helpful to me? Or to any mapping document.

  • Is there a way for EDI 820 (remittance advice) to identify proforma invoice

    Hi,
      We have certain customers who pay by proforma invoices. These customers send remittances through EDI 820 which we create as payment advice in SAP. When the cash comes in, the payment advice is not being applied since the document number has the proforma invoice and in FI, the proforma invoice is not stored anywhere.
       Proforma invoice in our case is a consolidated billing document that is not passed onto FI. Any thoughts to have the payment advice apply when the cash comes in even though the customer pays by proforma?

    Hi Satya
    I think you are expecting payment advice to your company from bank.
    For this you need create partner profile as BANK TYPE .
    ANSI X12 txn is 820 - Payment Order/Remittance Advice
    Please tell me is it ALE or EDI ?.
    If it is EDI we are reciving the file from EDI Subsystem
    It it is ALE means we are reciving the file from SAP R/3 only(genral practice).we can use ALE communication between SAP to NON-SAP systems also but when we are connecting to other company people will prefer EDI.
    thanks

  • Customer Inbound Payment Advice

    Hello all,
    What is the actual purpose of Payment Advices on the customers side (Inbound). Can somebody explain me how to post the customer payment advice in the SAP system? My assumption is below; please correct me where you see I am wrong
    Customer sends the payment advice via email
    1) Enter the payment advice manually by FBE1
    2) Then goto F-28 and Enter and Clear the Customer open items against the Payment Advice. (We would received the EBS to reconcile Bank Account with the actual payment)
    Can somebody provide me valuable input regarding my understanding and questions.
    Thanks

    Customer payment advices are created through two processes.These are independent processes.
    1) lockbox processing - if the system did not find billing docs or payments do not match with billing doc, then system will create payment advice. Later AR clerks clears this payment advice by applying the payment to right customer & billing doc
    2) in the second process, customer pays to your bank directly and payment details were sent by EDI to you. EDI creates payment advices. You can use FBE2 & RFAVIS40 to process payment advices. These transactions call FB05 to process customer payments.

  • Payment Advice FBE1

    Hello,
    What is the business purpose for the payment advice created using transaction FBE1?

    Hi,
    The payment advice number identifies a payment advice note together with the company code, the account type, and the account number.
    The payment advice number can be assigned externally or internally and always begins with the payment advice type. The payment advice types are predefined and have the following meaning:
    Payment advice type Meaning
    01 Payment advice from lockbox
    02 Payment advice from account statement
    03 Payment advice from open item processing
    04 Payment advice entered manually
    05 Payment advice from credit memo display
    06 Payment advice from customer (EDI)
    07 Payment advice from reference number (DME)
    08 Payment advice from correspondence
    In the case of internal number assignment, the payment advice number is produced as follows:
    aaddddddttttttuu,
    whereby the following is the case:
    Partial key Meaning
    aa Payment advice type
    dddddd Date of entry
    tttttt Time of entry
    uu Entered by (the first two letters)
    Hope understood and assign points if you get through.
    Thanks,

  • EDI 820 Outbound Payment advice EUPEXR

    When I am trying to generate an EDI through payment run F110, it correctly generates one for Message type PAYEXT and Idoc Basic type PEXR2002. However, in addition to that it is generating one for Message type EUPEXR and Idoc Basic type IDCREF01.
    What is the purpose of this EUPEXR and why is it generating even though I havent set it up in the Outbound parameters of the Partner profile?
    Thanks!

    Have you checked this thread in SDN?
    PEXR 2002, Stopping generation of EUPEXR inbound message type.
    This is automatically generated by SAP, and deals with the eletronic signature details usually accompanying an electronic payment instruction set. The thread gives a way to prevent output of the IDoc (not preventing generation through!).
    The Building Block documentation for In-House Cash clearly states:
    When you create PAYEXT, EUPEXR is created automatically. Recommendation: Create a port to which EUPEXR can be sent, if you do not need this Idoc type in SAP In-House Cash. You can delete this file defined for the port at specific intervals.

  • EDI 820 vs BAI2

    Hi Sappers!!
    I would appreciate your inputs on the following issues:
    For processing incoming payments which method is more cost effective EDI 820/FINSTA or BAI2
    Which method is more efficient? (Higher cost need not  always mean higher efficiency)
    Our managers would not prefer to use Lockbox payments. They seem to prefer electronic payments. Per my understanding only BAI2 is used for lockbox processing. So if we don't want use lockbox for incoming payment EDI 820 is the other option. Correct me if I am wrong here.
    What are the pros and cons of EDI 820 & BAI2 format.
    Appreciate your time!

    Hi Sappers!!
    Just came to know that we will not be going ahead with lockbox for incoming payments.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.

  • Automatic Clearing with Payment Advice via EDI

    I am trying to automate the cash application process via the receipt of the customer inbound 820 (using message type REMADV, type PEXR2002).  I can successfully post payment, clear open items, and set up deductions relating to a specific invoice, but I haven't been able to post deductions unrelated to an invoice.  Our customers often take deductions not related to a specific invoice at the same time as remitting payment for invoices.  Has anyone managed to post 'independent' deductions when posting a payment advice via EDI?
    I also have one small problem selecting the customer open item for clearing.  Our billing document number does not equal the financial accounting document number.  We store our billing document number in the Assignment field, and this is the number the customer will reference when remitting payment.  I have not been able to find a way to use the customer's reference number (e.g. Assignment field) to select the open item.  Has anyone had any success using the Selection Rule assigned to the payer to select open items by something other than the accounting document number?  Or is this functionality only available for manual processing of payment advices.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank-you,

  • Lockbox / Payment advice and cash discount

    Hello
    I am using lockbox (EDI 823) to apply cash to customers. It happens that customers don't take cash discount or just take a partial cash discount. I have implemented exits in program RFBELB20 for other controls and invoice indentification.
    When the transaction processed, the payment should be applied to the invoice. However, when it is posted by SAP, cash discount is selected and payment is rejected because the overall payment difference is too big.
    In F-28, I can either deactivate the cash discount, or force the cash discount amount, either to zero or to a value less than the maximum cash discount allowed.
    In the table AVIP (payment advice detail), I have the fields WSKTO and XAKTS that, I supposed would allow me to do the same as in F-28. But it is not working. I may not fill AVIP with the correct data.
    How should I process this ? I can't imagine SAP does not allow this.
    Regards

  • Payment Advice EDI - Reason Codes

    HI All,
    At the time of configure the Payment Advise through EDI,  Is it Reason Codes configuration is Mandatory.
    Ex :
    Case 1 :
    SAP - Customer Invoice : @ 1000
    Customer Account Dr  - 1000
    To Sales Revenue       -  1000
    Incoming Payment Received file from EDI Transfer : @ 1000
    Bank Main Account Dr  - 1000
    Customer Account or   -  1000
    Case 2
    SAP - Customer Invoice : @ 1000
    Customer Account Dr  - 1000
    To Sales Revenue       -  1000
    Incoming Payment Received file from EDI Transfer : @ 900
    Will it accounting entry generate or will it stop due to the Partial Incoming Amount.
    In this case Reason Codes will work.  So Where can we insert the reason codes to capture the differential amount between the Invoice & EDI Incoming receipt

  • Usage of inbound EDI payment advice

    Hello experts,
    I'm asked to implement an inbound payment advice / remittance advice via EDI using VDA 4907. I dived into the SAP help for this as well as into many discussions in this forum but I'm still unsure about the underlying concept as intended by SAP. My understanding is that the remittance advice closes the gap between a large single incoming payment and potentially many open items, thus clearing the open items and the payment.
    Can someone please let me know if this understanding is correct?
    How does this two-sided clearing process work?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
