Paying vendors via credit card and then reconciling to SAP

Question

We normally pay vendors via checks going EDI/Idocs - we run F110 with RFFOUS_C and then RFFOEDI1 to actually create the idocs and issue a 'check' number (at this point, the PAYR table is updated with this information).  The bank sends us back a recon file containing the check number and vendor data, and we reconcile it in SAP.
We now have a project where for certain vendors we are going to pay via a credit card thru a bank.  The process will be to create a new payment method and house bank and assign the payment method to those vendors.  We would run F110 for that payment type, using program RFFOUS_C.  This populates tables REGUP and REGUH.  From these tables, I would extract the data I need to send to the bank - they need it in a very specific format (which I can do).  The problem comes in at the reconciliation point.  The bank will send us a file of transactions of vendors that were paid.  How do I reconcile this with SAP if no actual check number was created, and no PAYR table record exists?

Answer 1

I am running RFFOUS_C.  I'm not sure what you mean by 'set the variant for check print by using the new dummy check number range'.  I had created a check number range (and lot) and attached it to the house bank I enter when running the program - is this what I should be doing?  Under print control, I have the 'print checks', 'print payment advice' and 'print payment summary' options selected, but I do not have 'print immediately' selected.  When I run RFFOUS_C in this manner, check numbers do not get created.  In fact, their is a function module 'get_check_number', but this only gets executed when you run RFFOEDI1.  What could I be doing wrong?
