Payment to Customers via automatic payment run (Just like suppliers)

Hi all,
I do have a client requirement which is described below. Thank you for reading my post and suggesting any solution.
Customers made various payments in the past and those payments were cleared against invoices. During this process which
continues for many years, some customers accounts got accumulated with credit balance. Now the Business has decided to pay them back and to establish an automatic payment program to periodically pay back all those historical over-payments.
Issueing a credit note is not accespted as a solution -
Is it possible to define a new payment method to customers and do a payment run ?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks & regards

Hi
Yes, in automatic program, you can include customers too. There is no need to create a seperate payment method for customers as long as its an outgoing payment.
Hope this helps.

Payment run via automatic payment -F110

Dear SAP,
Issue on payment run via T-code: F110. The payment has completed run with "Test Printout" which is the check number has been update for "test printout". Where in the automatic payment run can I untick the "test printout" check box, so that the payment can be run successfully.
Thank you.
-NURUL-

Hello
I don't understand when you say test printout. We have a proposal run and a payment run. And after the payment run is carried out you get the final print out as per the printout variant set in the parameters.
So can you please provide details as to what is exactly required.

DME file issue: Payment run for Customers

Hi Gurus,
Please help me in the following problem.
I have done the configurations for automatic collection/refund using F110 for customers in our ECC 6 system. Iu2019m having a requirement as below.
1. Singular payments to be made for each customer transaction.  Have done that by checking u2018Singular paymentsu2019 check box in customer master data.
2. All payments should be collected in DME file at customer level even though the payments are multiple.  have done that by customizing the RFFOGB_T program.
3. Configurations are done for incoming (Receivables) and outgoing payments (refunds) in SAP and working fine.
Now the problem is, there is a requirement to net-off the monetary value of a customer in DME file i.e. if a customer having debits and credits then we need to net off the amounts and check whether itu2019s an incoming or outgoing payment to that customer. I have done the code changes for this requirement as well and it is working perfectly fine, however DME file produces 2 CONTRA lines one as debit to bank account and another as Credit to bank account (provided I have 2 customers in a run where one customer ends up in net debit balance, and another customer ends up with net credit balance). Our Bank doesn't accept more than one CONTRA in a single DME file.
Example scenario:
Customer1
Booking 1 -> 400 (Dr) & 200 (Cr)
Booking 2 -> 300 (Dr) & 100 (Cr)
Customer2
Booking 3 -> 100 (Dr) & 300 (Cr)
Currently If I run the payment run by having both incoming and outgoing payment methods, then my DME file will result as below
Customer 1 -> Dr 400
Customer 2 -> Cr 200
Bank account -> Cr 200
However our bank is not accepting the above DME since there are debits as well as credit data records in the same file.
Currently we are going with 2 separate payment runs, one for incoming and another for outgoing by this I could able to produce 2 DME files as below for the above customer bookings.
Payment run 1:
DME 1:
Customer 1 -> Dr 700
Customer 2 -> Dr 100
Bank account -> Cr 800
Payment run 2:
DME 2:
Customer 1 -> Cr 300
Customer 2 -> Cr 300
Bank account -> Dr 600
Both files are being accepted by Bank, however business is not agreeing this since for every customer transaction bank charges client. (There will be 2 transaction for same customer in the same day)
Anybody encountered the same problem? I need some suggestion on how to produce 2 DME files in a single payment run, one having only net debit balance customers and another having only net credit balance customers, so that on a particular payment run a customer will have only one transaction going into bank either Credit or Debit. Basically I need to produce DME files as below for the above customer bookings
Payment Run 1:
DME 1:
Customer 1 -> Dr 400
Bank account -> Cr 400
DME 2:
Customer 2 -> Cr 200
Bank account -> Dr 200
Please help.

Client has a difft scenario.
They pay to the customers for warranty and incentives. 2 ways to pay to the customer: generating payment run F110 within AR and the other being F110 from AP where all the customer open items are closed and sent to AP for payment using a custom program.
The problem with this is they have two interfaces each from AP and AR and aslo a custom program.
Now, solution is to pay all customers thru AP by setting each customer as vendor so that all the open items are picked in the payment run.
Next solution is to have single interface but paymentruns seperately from AR and AP. Both would send the files differently to Bank when paymnt run executed. Concern here is when both Ar and AP send files will the interface be able to handle it like 2 difft files or should there be any consolidation kind of thing.
Another question is, do we have to set up all customers as vendors in order to pay to the customer thru AP. There is customer accounts field where range of customer accounts can be added. Just by adding customer accounts, does it pick up the items for payment.
Please reply.

URGENT---Automatic payment run-Vendor open item clearing

When I run the payment program, it ran without any error, however, the vendor account was not cleared. The balance in GL and Vendor account remains the original amounts. And the Vendor line items which were supposed to be cleared thru F110, are now showing as Open items.
please give me the TCODES to look in.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Sharath

Dear Sharath,
To check whether your payment run has actually generated any payment document or not, please follow the following steps:-
(1) Go to transaction SE16/ SE16N and table REGUH, give the "payment run ID", "run date" and "Proposal Indicator as blank".
     It should show the payment document.
(2) If (1) above show payment document, then go to table REGUP and check the invoices paid.
   If invoices are there in REGUP, then there might be some issue in the payment document updation in the system which you can check via transaction SM12. (For this just check in table REGUV, whether payment documents created and posted are equal or not for the payment run.)
(3) if (1) do not show any payment document, that means payment run has not made any payment.
    In this case, you create a new payment run and in the parameters select the error logs display also and in free selection give the document number you are expecting to be paid off by the payment run. This might help you to know the reason of non payment by cheking the proposal log/ payment run log.
I hope that this should assist you

Block of payment in automatic payment run

Dear friends,
Can anyone help me in blocking an open line item in automatic payment run which is not already blocked but it is due for payment and i donot want to make its payment in the proposal.
Also if i want to do partial payment out of the open line item proposed in the automatic payment run, how do i do it?
Please help.
Regards
Dhirav Shah

It is possible to add and delete payment blocks on individual items
if they are included in the payment proposal. When you have run
the proposal there should be a button 'Edit Proposal' and there should
be an option for payment block. You can then enter a payment block,
and when you save this the item should then appear in the payment
proposal. It is not possible to block an entire vendor account, you
can only block individual line items.
Also most important thing in case you cannot edit this field in payment proposal:
Check your customising in transaction OB27, For you to be able to change/edit "payment block" in a payment proposal, you have to set the flag 'Change in Pmnt Prop' in this transaction.
Once an item is included in the proposal, the only ways it can be blocked is by either editing the item WITHIN the proposal, or else by deleting the proposal, adding the payment block via FB02 and then rescheduling the proposal.
Exact Steps:
Press the 'Edit Proposal'
Click 'All accounting clerks' on the Accounting Clerk box (This might
not appear on your system)
Double click on a particular item which you want to change
Then you can add/remove the payment block .
Hope it helps

F110, reset the payment run back to payment proposal automatically.

Hi,
When payment run is carried out, some line items are being paid and others are not.The line items that are not getting paid canu2019t be selected just for the next payment run because they are already proposed for this specific but stuck payment run und canu2019t be deselected anymore. Means, the stuck payment run canu2019t be started another time, the selected not paid items canu2019t be deselected. So what are you going to do with the items that are stuck in the payment run? You canu2019t deselect them, you canu2019t pay them, you canu2019t clear the vendor open items.
Right now the solution is very manually and therefore very time intense and therefore the user is asking for a solution to automatically set back the payment run to a payment u2018proposalu2019. From this starting point we can deselect vendor line items and can run the same payment run again or delete the not paid vendor line items in the stuck payment run and transfer them to a new payment run.
Can anybody provide me a solution.
Thanks,
Vardhan

Dear Vardhan,
Your query is not very clear. Nevertheless, i would try to explain as per my understanding.
If some items are not paid in one Payment Run, then all such items will be under exception list. You have to check the exception list for the reason as to why those weren't paid. Once you know the reason of non-payment, you can go further.
I hope this answers your query, as far as my understanding goes.
Thank you.

F110 - Automatic email to vendor when payment run is carried out

Hi,
I am trying to configure automatic emails to be sent to vendor when automatic payment run is carried out.
Please note that i have already carried out the following settings:
Step 1- Define Std communication method as SMTP (Internet mail) in vendor master
Step 2 Maintain email address via FK02.
Step 3 - T-Code BERP Code to find Find event 00002040 This is a Function called SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040, copy with another name i.e. ZSAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040
Step 4 T-Code FIBF -> Option -> Product ->a Customer, Write product name at your choice (for example ZMAIL) and make it active.
Step 5 T-Code FIBIF -> Option ->Process Function (or Module) ->. A Customer.
Process = 00002040
Module Function = ZSAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040
Product = ZMAIL (name of product define by you in step 4)
it will automatically send mail to vendor provided SCOT is configured.
However, when i carry out the payment run, email is not generated..
Can someone please help me out with the above?
Thanks in advance

Andi,
this might help....
Emailing SAP Remittance advice:
1.
For the following process to work SAP Connect needs to be configured for outgoing mail. This is carried out by the Basis team. The t-code is SCOT.
2.
<b>Vendor Master Data</b>
Define Std communication method as SMTP (Internet mail) and maintain an email address in the vendor master data.
3.
<b>T-Code BERP</b> Code to find the relevant BTE. Use the Selection Attribute to browse for your business area. In my case, it is AP-Payment Transactions hence FI-AP-AP-PT.
00002040 is the relevant process. This is a Function called SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040. In this case, the FM only checks for an email address in the Vendor Master. If more logic is required a Z-version would need to be created.
4.
Use t-code FIBF to create the enhancement.
a)
Create a product.
A product groups together customer enhancements to BTEs developed in the customer's namespace. All customer enhancements assigned to a certain customer product can be released with the Activate Customer Product indicator. The OPEN_FI function module for a certain customer enhancement cannot find the corresponding customer function modules, until this has been done.
Create the product name (for example ZMAIL) and make it active.
FIBF->Settings->Products->of a Customer
b)
Assign the BTE to the FM:
Settings->Process Modules->of a customer
Assign the 00002040 process to the FM and Product.
5.
At the end of this process when the payment advice program is run, the event will be called and it will automatically send an email to the vendor.
6.
Assign an email address to the sap user who will be the outgoing accounting clerk. Define the Accounting Clerk for the outgoing email address:
SPRO->FI->AR/AP->Vendor Accounts->Master Data->Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data->Define Accounting Clerks
hope it helps.

Automatic Payment Run - Alternate Bank Account in Vendor Master

Dear Forum,
We have a situation where the users want the alternate bank accounts to be maintained in the Vendor Masters and also to select this alternate bank account while doing the automatic payment run thru F110. While we can maintain more than one bank account in the Vendor Master, but how to select the alternate one during payment run. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi...
As per your issue while runing APP in F110 once complete parameters
And go to Edit praposal and double click vendor and double click on line items than it will displays the one more screen there select Reallocate button there you can enter your respective bank details.
Otherwise there is a Business Transaction Event 1810. You can see the code, looks like you need to replicate the vendor bank details with link to a company code.
Note:
Assign Multiple Bank Accounts in the Vendor Master
Your SAP system provides the functionality to store and use
information from multiple vendor bank accounts in the Payment
transactions screen of the vendor master general data via
transaction FK03 (Figure 1). Figure 1 reflects the bank type
determination logic I used in the vendor master, using the
three-digit International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
currency code as the Bank type.
Figure 1 Bank details vendor master
You can use the BnkT (bank type) field in the vendor master to
enter text differentiators for identifying the vendoru2019s bank
accounts. If you leave the bank type field blank against a bank
account in the vendor master, then it serves as the default bank
if the bank type information is missing in the vendor invoice.
You may want to leave this field blank if the vendor has only
one bank account and you want the system to select that bank
account for all payments.
If the bank type is blank for multiple bank accounts, then the
system looks for the first bank account with the blank bank type
in the vendor master to use as the default. You are not required
to define the text values u2014 in my example, INR, SGD, and USD u2014
elsewhere in your SAP system. The field allows any value up to a
length of four characters. Iu2019ll demonstrate the use of bank type
with vendor invoice later on.
The system performs a check at the time of invoice creation on
the bank type value used in the vendor invoice against the bank
type values used in the vendor master. If you have not defined
the bank type value in the vendor master prior to using it in
the vendor invoice, the system shows an error message. The
system performs the check to ensure that you are using a bank
type value in the vendor invoice against which it can find a
bank account in the vendor master. Otherwise, the system cannot
determine a bank account for making payments to the vendor.
Prerequisites for Vendor Bank Selection
You need to take care of a few configuration prerequisites before
you can use vendor bank selection in the automated payment
functionality.
1. Check the Bank details check box in the payment method as
defined at the country level in transaction FBZP. This ensures
the selection of the bank details from the vendor master at the
time of the automatic payment run. If you donu2019t do this, the
system does not copy the bank details into the payment IDoc that
it creates as a result of the automated payment run (transaction
F110).
2. Make the Bank Business Partners field optional in the field
status group attached to the vendoru2019s reconciliation G/L account
by selecting the button under Opt. Entry for this field. This
field maps to the Part.bank type (partner bank type) field in
the vendor invoice. If the Bank Business Partners field is not
optional and is in a suppressed state, then you cannot input the
partner bank type field in the vendor invoice.
I hope it will helps you....

Payment Run for Customers

Hi All,
In case of payment to the customer by executing/running F110, do we need to set up all customers as vendors in order for the F110 run to pick up the open items.
There is a Customer Accounts field where you can enter the range of customer accounts under "parameters" tab. Does these customer accounts have to be set up as vendors in order to pick up in the payment run or we can just enter the customer accounts without crearting them as vendors and it will pick up the open items due to pay to the customer.
Probably this is a very easy or basic question. I am confused so please answer me. I need to make payments to customers thru F110.

Automatic e-mail of remittance advice to vendors following the Payment Run

Hi,
We are implementing the Automatic e-mail of remittance advice to vendors following the Payment Run(F110) for one of our company code located at UK.
But we have already implemented this process for one of the company code located in US using the Business transaction event 00002040 and it is working fine.
Now i want to find out if we could utilitize emailing the employee reimbursement remittances for UK as we do here in the US using the same BTE.
I just want to know if our current BTE (business transaction event) can be set up for their group also along with generating the SAP script to format the remittance.
Earliest reply will be appreciated.
With regards,

Help needed in Automatic payment run

Good afternoon, i want to create a payment run and use Special GL aslo... i have assigned in fbzp--> all co. codes and special gl "A" but according to my client he is asking that Special GL"N" should aslo be allowed for Automatic payment. but when i assigned Special GL "N".. its shows a error "Payment is not possible for special G/L indicator N" Message no. F3072... Please help me as N is needed as Special GL indicator...
Regards,
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
Let me first clarify a note item. A noted item is only for information purpose in the system and has no financial impact.
Meaning say you have recd a post dated cheque from a customer and you post in the system, it is a single line entry, though you can see it in FBL5N, when you select note item on the selection screen, but in real world you financial impact is same and has not gone down by the posting on noted item. You can just track in the system how many post dated checues you ahve in hand.
Now, coming to your scenario, you are saying you posted a noted item of 2000 from Special GL "N". You are also mentioning that Vendor liability is Rs. 10000/- and then you say balance is Rs. 8000/-.
It cannot be.. if it is a noted item entry, balance would still be 10000 which need to be paid to vendor and even APP will pick up 10000, irrespective of whether Special GL N is specified in FBZP or not and this is what system is doing.
I am again requesting you to write the scheme of entries at each stage with amounts.
Regards,
Kavita

Save automatic vendor payment run reference in clearing account assignment

Hi,
When executing an automatic vendor payment run, the run is identified with two fields:
- Run date
- Identification
When the payments are posted, the vendors are cleared and an offsetting entry is posted onto the respective clearing account for each vendor. So if there is 100 vendors in the payment run, there will be 100 line items on the clearing account.
When multiple payment runs are made on the same day, it is hard to separate the line items for each payment run, during the banking process. Each payment run appears with it's total payment amount on the bank statement and should be cleared against the corresponding line items on the clearing account and that's where it becomes hard to easily select the line items that add up to the payment amount.
Unless of course, the assignment field on the clearing account would hold the run date and identification of the payment run.
Has anybody encountered the same business scenario and found a solution for it?

Question closed due to lack of replies.

Automatic payment run

Hi
One of the User run the F110 on some date and gave vendor numbers from 1 to 99999 with AP wire payment. Finally it showed 11 posting orders generated and completed. When I see the FBL1N for the vendor # 10346, it is showing under open only not cleared.
Could you please advise me what should I do for this.
Regards
Murali

Here are a couple of things that you can check.
1. Go to FBZP and check if the payment method is in the country of the company code in which you are running the automatic payment run (also check in 'payment methods in country' if you have anything in allowed currencies. If you have none, all currencies would work. If you have specified any, it will work only for that currency).
2. FBZP - Payment methods in company code - Check if the payment method is assigned to the company code and in the same option (payment methods per country) check if foreign business partner allowed checkbox is checked in case your vendor's country is other than the country of your company code.
3. FBZP - Bank determination - Check if the payment method is having (a) ranking order and CoCd, (b) housebank/payment method (here again the same rule above applies to currency) is assigned to bank account ID and GL account, and (c) available amounts. Value Date and Expenses/Charges are not important.
Good luck!
