Thanks in advance!

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.

Hello Experts,
Our client is planning to implement Biller Direct. Can anyone help me about what is Biller Direct. How to install and how to configure.
Would appreciate if someone can send me the configuration files for Biller Direct.
Who will be involved (technical or functional) in implementing Biller Direct?
What will be the role of FI-AR FSCM consultant in this task?
Any Help in this regard will be duly rewarded and appreciated.

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
RainerHi,
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. -
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,

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.

FSCM Biller Direct - Cannot change Payment amount under open Bills
All,
We have configured the Biller Direct in Dev and QA.
IN dev, if we go to open bills and change the payment amount for an invoice, it does allow to change.
Whereas in QA, if i select the invoice, it doesn't allow to change.
XCM, other configuration and user authorization for BD_POOL are identical to Dev and Qa.
Please show me the pointer where the issue should be.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 B2C scenario
Hi,
Can someone tell me whether Biller Direct can be used for B2C payment scenarios where the customer pays online BEFORE the invoice is generated?
So the customer chooses the product, enters their credit card info (if needed) and confirms payment.
Providing the credit card is authorised the backend system would go on to create the billing document, accounting document and clear the payment.
regards
TimTim,
As far as I know in the B2C scenario biller direct will not support advance payments. Payment always has to be against an invoice.
I hope this helps, -
FSCM: Biller Direct in FI-CA
Hi,
In the configuration guide of Biller Direct 3.0 (FI-CA) I read that in the transaction code CAA2 is a tab named 'Biller Direct'. But it didn't show up to me. It shows:
- General data
- Payments/Taxes
- Dunning/Correspondence
Any idea to activate (or something) that tab for biller direct ?
Regards,
RainerHello Rainer. May you please point me to the direction of the configuration guide you used? I am having the same issue where the Biller Direct tab on the contract account master data is not showing up. My configuration guide that I am following does not include any additional step at the end.
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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?

VermeerThe 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. -

Biller direct (EBPP) Payment Method
TR Expert,
Once we link the payment method to be used by Biller direct (SPRO> FSCM>Biller Direct>Process Integration with Account Receivable Accounting>Edit payment method) is there any requirement that Biller Direct payment method should be unique?
My question is if we can use a payment method in Biller Direct and also in Account Receivable (e.g. Direct Debit) with the same code? Is there any recommendation to not do that?
Appreciate your comments

SAP Biller Direct utility industry based business package
Hello Experts
Can we use SAP Biller Direct utility industry based business package with Finance module???
points will be given to right answers
regards
srinivasYes
Biller Direct is aimed to be linked to the FSCM suite.
There are two views of Biller Direct, B2C and B2B.
B2C is used where customers deal with consumers, an example would be the utility industry. The Consumers can pay online their bills and view their account, update master records and so on.
The B2B is where there is a fuller customer master, normally you have less customers, but the customers have more line items. There again is the possibility to make payments here, however this is unlikely. They can however review their account, and raise disputes, print off copy invoices.
All of this functionality is delivered via JAVA and it is pretty standard, however the area that takes the longest time is setting up the users. -
Questions on SAP Biller Direct Java Customization
Hi,
I am working on SAP Biller Direct java customizations. Can anyone help me find answers to these questions.
-- I have created local DC from the Biller direct track in NWDI. I would like to change the User registration page in Biller Direct.
Can any one let me know the JSP page name for that and where can i find it in the components.
--- Also all this development do i have to do it in J2EE perspective and checkin my changes?
Also i would like to know if anyone can send some documents on devlopment part of Biller direct.
Thanks
Edited by: Aparna on Aug 20, 2009 12:33 PMHi Aparna,
I have a couple quick questions about BD development and would really appreciate it if you could provide some advice since we are starting our build soon.
In my NWDI track, I have component FSCMBD and several other of the required SAP components. I did not create a new product or component, just followed the procedure in this thread: https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1331894. Is that the method you recommend?
I am concerned about doing development directly on the FSCMBD component. How do I prevent my developers from modifying BD source code? Is the idea that they will create independent DCs in NWDS (as you described) and only modify those? I just want to make sure that we are doing development in a way that is supported and will not cause issues when applying SPs or upgrades to FSCMBD.
I also want to confirm that this "create project" activity is not something that I need to do as an Administrator in the NWDI track; this is something my java developers will need to do in NWDS at the beginning of the build.
Thanks Aparna!

Problem related to break-point in SAP biller direct
Hi All,
I am new to SAP biller direct.We are using ECC 5.0 system as the back end system.We created an implementation for the BADI 'APAR_EBPP_GET_DATA'.I wanted to debug this BADI.So i set a breakpoint at a particular line.When I opened biller direct web application , no dubugging session opens at any point.Any idea why this is happening.
<removed_by_moderator>
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Jun 23, 2008 9:55 PMIf this is a production system, then debugging might have been disabled; so the backend is saying "no way". Contact your basis folks and ask them.
Other than that, I am afraid you are not even left with the last resort option of debugging it anymore...
How about writting really, really good code which does not require debugging?
Cheers,
Julius
