Hi,
Biller Direct can run on 4.6c Environment or ECC 5.0
Only difference on a 4.6c Environment is you will need a Plug-in where as in ECC 5.0 its included with MY SAP ERP licence.
I do not see any inherent advantages on placing BD on Portal as this is Practically Used by the customers and would require a login id and pwd., However you could place this link on your existing company URL or Intranet.
BD comes as part of ECC 5.0 Licence but you will have to talk to SAP for seperate Licencing for running on a 4.6c system.
I recently did a quick assessment and got approval for BD at our client location and the info on the below link was very helpfull.

Hope this info helps or let me know if you are looking for any specific info.

  • Biller Direct  Experiences

    Hi everyone,
    Got a few quick questions regarding Biller Direct and implementation of BD. As usual, sales guy dumped a some buzzwords on us for us to scope it out.
    What would be the typical BD environments ? Would an R/3 4.6C environment suffice, or would one need to upgrade to ECC 5.0 ?
    EP is of course optional, however what would be the benefits of putting BD on EP, taking into account BD will be the only application on the EP.
    Can BD be licensed/or downloaded separately without the entire FSCM suite ?
    Any inputs and experiences out there would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Payment of bills advised by SAP Biller Direct

    Hello everyone,
    I got the following problem:
    We cannot pay (in fact balance) the bill advised by a "customer" on the SAP Biller Direct portal.
    We use the transaction F110 for automatic payment transactions. The proposal run gives the following result:
    Bank details are being checked
        Customer/vendor bank details are being read
    Country US / Bank number 123456780 / Account 12345678 ...
    Country US / Bank number 123456780 / Account 87654321 ...
         Customer/vendor bank details are being checked
    Bank details 123456780 87654321 have bank type E001; bank type E000 is specified
       System reads house banks and checks if they are allowed
    Our bank BANK is being checked
    For currency USD and 005 days            0,00 are planned
    Available amount too small,            0,00 USD still available,        5.880,00  necessary
       House bank is selected ...
    No permitted payment method exists
    We already checked and configured all possible configuration. We also did the customizing in FBZP.
    When I want to add the payment method (in our case '0' for Biller Direct bank payments) to the customer in XD02, the system says:
    "in company code "xxx" '0' is an FSCM-BD payment method and cannot be used.
    Detail: In company code "xxx" '0' is indicated as payment method for the FSCM Biller Direct component. This payment method identifies items that were paid via Biller Direct on the Internet. Therefore, the payment method cannot be used in any other way.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    Regards,
    Vermeer

    The solution for this problem:
    in FBZP: Add for your house bank in 'Available Amounts' a value in Scheduled incoming payments. After this the payment run finished successfully.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Simar

    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 using Dispute Management

    Hi,
    I've implemented SAP Biller Direct and I want to use the dispute management to create dispute cases directly from the webportal.
    Dispute Management is activated. Its already possible to create cases in the backend (and to modify these cases on the frontend), but if I try to create a new case directly on the frontend, I get the following message:
    "This service isn't available at the moment."
    I dont know what to do. The biller direct integration in the Dispute Management is definitely activated. Customizing is done as well.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Rainer

    Hi,
    have you activated all of the user id settings for Biller Direct? (XCM)
    where are the 'user id settings' ? I've configured the userinterface, connectionmanager and application settings.
    can you make any changes from Biller Direct to ERP?
    - Yes, I can change the administrative data (integrated with accounts receivable).
    - I can pay bills. Marked as 'arranged by Biller Direct' in the ERP. How can I post them, or is it done automatically?
    What version of ERP are you using 6.0 or an older version?
    Right, I'm using ECC 6.0.
    Have you got your BASIS / PORTAL guys to check the connections that everything is open? (JCO's)
    The connection works.

  • Biller Direct sporadically not posting Credit Card Payments to the backend

    Hope someone has experience this issue before.  While we are part of the Public Sector - Higher Ed group, I believe others may have experience this issue.  I have spoken with the other Higher Ed customers and we have all experienced this, some more than others.    We have students who are trying to pay by Credit Card on Biller Direct.  While their payment is validated and their Credit Card  debited the payment does not feed to the ERP FICA system.  This can happen to one student and a second later another student can pay successfully then the student in error tries again and it does not work.  Some of these student have a lock that has been released.  We can post the payment successfully using Cash Desk at the same time the student can not post through Biller Direct.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Have a look to below blog, it is regarding e-payment, but you can refer this for your approach.

  • Biller Direct Customer's Payment Advise

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with Biller Direct (BD). The customer creates the payment advise in BD (starting with 09) and it is available in SAP with FBE3 and in BD showing the invoices to be paid and the amounts. It also shows any credits that the customer is using for the payment. Then when the payment is processed by Lockbox, the payment advise information in BD and SAP is deleted. The Lockbox report shows that the system created a  new payment advise (starting with 01), but I have not found the way to see the new payment advise.
    The issue is when the customer disputes a payment, I have no way to see the original payment advise created by the customer to show the customer that the payment was applied according to the payment advise they created. Is there a way to see the original payment advise, does the system keep a history for the payment advises?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Hi Manish,
    I tried to search but I guess there is no OSS note/SAP fix for this issue.
    Our client wants to implement it in our project.
    So, I was thinking is it possible to do it? I mean technically from ABAP enhancements? Or is it simply impossible to achieve this and I would be wasting time on it.
    Can you please help a bit?

  • Biller Direct Fields: FUNCTION 'FSCM_FICA_TFISCOMMFLAG_GET'

    Hi Guys,
    I am working on CAA1/CAA2 enhancement. Here once user presses SAVE button I need to validate Biller Direct fields (i.e. SMS/PAPER BILL/EMAIL Checkboxes). For that I am using CUSTOM FM on: transaction CAWM -> Contract Account Control -> Screen Layout -> Views -> FIS201 Biller Direct: Notification Type -> Further checks.
    In that FM I am using below standard SAP FM which suppose to return values of Biller Direct Fields.
        CALL FUNCTION 'FSCM_FICA_TFISCOMMFLAG_GET'
       TABLES
         t_tfiscommflag       = gt_tmp1
    But this FM failed to return any data even if I make changes to Biller Direct Fields. Do I need to do additional configuration for this?
    If there is any other way to validate these fields please let me know.
    - Thanks
    Edited by: Nikhil Jathar on Dec 29, 2008 11:17 PM

    If you want to validate these fields then go with events.
    In the same transaction CAWM you will have menu EVENTS .
    DCHCK is the event for Validating purpose.
    Create a Zfm and attach in the event DCHCK. and validate the same in your ZFM.
    Please let me know if you need more information on this.

  • Biller Direct Documentation

    Does someone who has installed Biller Direct using EP 6.0 know where to find detailed information about customizing the web application - ie. texts, graphics, etc.
    The Modification Guide does not specify document names.
    Thank you for your assistance,
    D. Maupin

    I am actually not just a programmer, but here are some points
    1. You don't need the NWDI if you just only want to deploy the standard Biller Direct version, but you need it if you want to modify anything. You can just use the SDM ("Sap Deployment Manager" located in the parent directory of the J2EE Engine installation directory) and deploy directly the SCA files.
    2. Yes, because the NWDI is like mixture of CVS/Subversion, Marven and deployment manager together. You can probably without NWDI, but then you have to spent some time to setup a project structure in your favorit IDE and to locate all the libraries for the dependencies. NWDI is actually not my favorit, but that's what God... ahem SAP gave us!
    3. I use the NWDS (SAP Developer Studio) to bundle and create the required EAR file. I also need the NWDS to checkout and checkin sources into the NWDI using their proprietary version control system, but I actually modify and debug the web-application by using IntelliJ IDEA, which probably the best Java IDE. The NWDS does not really like that someone is going to change code directly on the file-system and therefore you must always ensure the everything is in the "edit" modus, before another tool is going to change something. It sounds like more work, but if you are using my way you are still 2-5 times faster than using NWDS only and the quality of code is extrem better.
    If you are going to change Biller Direct, you first task should be to get rid of the Framesets and make it to a single Frame. It's not complicated, but makes your live easier.
    If you need support, you do not hesitate to contact me

  • 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.

  • Biller Direct - Anyway to add custom attachments to open bills?

    We'd like to attach property tax bills to some of our invoices so they display in Biller Direct. There is a link under the Bill column that displays the bill but the PDF icon under the Action column pulls up the same document. We can attach as many attachments in SAP directly but only the invoice is displayed.
    Is there a way to configure this or would this involve customizing the portal page?

    Help me understand your requirement better here. Do you mean to say by the statement above that you want to show some extra details on the open bill tab along with the billing details???
    If yes then you need to use the customizing option provided in the J2EE project structure of Biller Direct.
    Let me know if this helps or you need further details. Post it and I will try to figure out...
