Outgoing cheque payment through FPY1

Question

Hi Experts,
When i tried to post the outgoing cheque payment through FPY1, system posted the entry. But it was not generating the cheque. My doubt is how can we generate the cheque in FICA. If it is not in FICA then it will be in FI-AP. Can anyone please guide me how to do cheque print out when we make payment to ISU customer.
kindly let me know the config steps for cheque generation in FICA.
Also, is there any payment medium file in FICA. If, so how can u guide me the step that.
Thanks for your all support.
Regards,
RAM.

Answer 1

Hello,
You need to configure the below steps
1. Settings for check creation
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Settings for Check creation
Here you have to attach the cheque application form
Application form <T-Code EFRM> for Cheque printing provided by SAP is ‘FI_CA_DME_CHECK_SAMPLE’. This has 20 characters. But in FPY1 <for refunds>, for cheque printing, only 16 characters are allowed. So FI_CA_DME_CHECK_SAMPLE has to be copied into Z_UFI_****<shud be <=16 chars>.
2. Define Void Reason codes
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Define Void Reasons for Checks
3. Define Bank clearing accounts for encashment of  out going checks
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Define Bank clearing account for en-cashment of outgoing checks
<posting area 1037>
4. Define Expense and Revenue accounts for  Posting cashed Outgoing checks
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Expense and Revenue accounts for Posting cashed Outgoing checks
5. Define cheque clearing for outgoing cheques
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Define Check clearing account for outgoing checks
6.Define Specifications for clarification of cashed checks
IMG\ FICA\ Basic Functions \ Check Management \ Define Specifications for clarification of cashed checks
7. Define Cheque numbers <T-Code FQP6A>
8. Define payment methods <FQP1>. You attach format CHECK to the payment method under  FORMAT.
9. Also Define Specifications for paying company code<FQP4>
10.Also define  accounts for payment program <FQC0: Posting area 1061>
11.Maintain bank selection
12.Now create a variant in FPY1.Go to environment &#61664; payment medium.Create ‘Variant’ and attach payment medium. you attach  CHECK in payment medium format  in under output control you attach the form you copied in step 1 above. Save and comeback
Payment run for cheque
13. Now you make sure that your document is being paid by running in simulation mode.
14. Now run FPY1 in real mode.. You can see the check only when you run in real mode
15. Go to SP01 to see the spool of your cheque. You can view the physical cheque there.
Hope this helps!!!!!
