Steps to customize Biller Direct

Hi,
I have gone through the Biller Direct Modification Guide and also some of the posts in the SDN.
I donot have a NWDI setup. Currently, I want to just try on my local Sandbox server on ways to customize the biller direct.
Please could anyone provide me the steps to customize? It would be of great help.
Thank You,
Regards,
Su

Thank you very much for both the replies.
I have to try customizing Biller direct as a POC only on my test machine and not with NWDI setup. Once, I am able to customize on the local test machine, I will next start using the NWDI for development.
Now, my question is without NWDI is it possible? I saw the links which you provided. They talk about par files and for the login screen. I donot need customization for the login screens, but, I need to modify lot of JSP's inside the application after logging in. Hence, I tried to take a copy of the source code from the installed path, imported it as a web module application in NWDS. Then created an EA applciation for the web module. I tried deploying but nothing came up after that. Hence, wanted to know, is this method of trying to customize a good one?
Your replies will be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
Su.

Hi 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!

UI Development of Biller Direct applications using NWDI

Hi Experts,
I am an Sap Portal Developer.I am new to Biller Direct Applications in Sap Portal.
We have already deployed Biller Direct 6.0 business packages in sap EP 7.0
Now We need to do UI customization for those applications.
For that reason I am supposed to develop track in NWDI.
Can you please explain me in steps creating the Track, dependencies to be added,SCA files needed.
Could you please explain me in steps from creating tracks to importing the SC into NWDS.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
I saw that you found another thread related to BD and NWDI; here are a few more which might be helpful
JDI / NWDI Build Problems (for Biller Direct)
/thread/926465 [original link is broken]
When it comes to NWDI / NWDS, it should be the same; i.e. the steps to create a track, to import SCAs into NWDI, to import development configuration from NWDI (DTR) to NWDS, to develop using NWDS, etc. so you can still use the links I sent for NWDI
Also, you might want to create your runtime systems (RTS) before creating a track because you'll need to connect your track to the RTSs.
Hope it helps.

Disputes for Credit Notes are not displayed in Biller Direct

Issue: Back end ECC, allows us to create disputes on stand alone credit notes, but on the Biller Direct front end we are not able to see the disputes created.
Description in detail:
1. When a dispute is created on a credit note, system treats it as a Customer Disputed Credit Memo (CDIS_CRED) and it is created in ECC with relation F6.
2. On the Biller Dircet Front end , standard actually display disputes for a Invoice created with relation F1 and F2. So we are not able to see the Customer Disputed Credit Memos.
3. Front End (Biller Direct) allows only open invoices to be disputed and not credit notes, even though it is allowed in ECC.
We would like to know if you have come across this scenario before and have resolved it either through customization or Configuration.
Advice/Recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave,
I just saw this thread now and I am glad I can share the solution with you:
For View: PRDIOOV/OBJECTOV, debug method GET_LIST_OF_STATIC_VIEWS and find out why system is suppressing some assignment blocks.
For some reasons, SAP has included these methods in Product Overview page which are meant to suppress some Assignment Blocks depending upon their usability.
Just redefine this method and delete the views from the Static Views Result List. Following is the sample code:
CALL METHOD SUPER->GET_LIST_OF_STATIC_VIEWS
RECEIVING
RT_RESULT = rt_result.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'CUSRQMSLAPro.SRQM_SLAPRO/MainWindow'.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'SrvEnt.PRDSRV/SrvEntOVE'.
DELETE rt_result WHERE viewid = 'ZIOBJECT_VC/VC'.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to create a link on a biller direct screen for downloading a pdf file

Hi,
My requirement is to create link on biller direct screen, when I click on that link a pdf document will be downloaded in local system. I need help on that

contd from previous post, excerpt from BD config guide:
Web Application
3. Displaying the bill document
The Web application displays the bill document.
If the bill document is displayed using a separate Web server (for example,
the Web server of an optical archive), then the URL for displaying the bill details
can be transferred at event 1235 when you create the bill list. The BAdI
FIS_INVOICEDETAIL is not called, but the Web application sends an HTTP
request to this URL. Since the Web application requests the bill data by request
to the Web server for bill details, the Web server does not need to have an
authentication mechanism. SAP delivers an example implementation for
accessing a Web server for bill details.
Connecting Other Billing Applications
As described above, SAP Biller Direct only makes available the display of bills from Sales and
Distribution (SD) in PDF format. If you want to use this function for bills with a different origin,
you need to proceed as follows. See the BAdI documentation for further details.
1. Create an implementation for event 1235. You have to set indicator XXML, XPDF, or
XMULTARCH (or all three) in table T_INVOICES so that a customer is able to load
XML or PDF data in the front end of SAP Biller Direct. Technically, this means you
ensure that the appropriate icons are shown.
2. Implement BAdI FIS_INVOICEDETAIL. This BAdI is called by the front end if the
customer selects the corresponding link. You can determine the required format using
I_INVOICE_FORMATS. Create the corresponding binary data, and fill table T_XML,
T_PDF or T_MULTIPLE_ARCHIVED_DOCS (or all three).
3. Then set indicator XXML, XPDF or XMULTARCH (or all three) in structure
C_INVOICE_FORMATS.
My Questions:
1. My PDFs are stored on a web server as described in step 3, does that mean that I don't need to use the BADI? How are these URLs generated? Does BD automatically know how to retrieve them from archivelink?
2. My documents are insurance bills, not S&D bills. Does that mean that I need to use the BADI as described in "connecting other billing applications"?
To me there is a lot of ambiguity in the way this is described in the configuration guide. Could use some help with the interpretation.

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Biller Direct: Incomplete Customizing

Hi guruz,
I'm trying to configure the connection between biller direct and FI-CA using UME as repository for the users. I made all the steps described in the configuration guide but I still have an issue that I can't understand. Here is the exception:

Biller Direct Agent Mode error

I am currently trying to setup Biller Direct to show the Agent Mode. Below are the steps i haven taken:
1. Changed the XCM mode settings to Agent Mode: epbbmode = OA
2. Rebooted the Java Instance
2. Added the security to SAP User ID - We have giving the user all authorizations for Biller Direct
3. The user logs in to through the standard Biller Direct Login page and they are logged in successfully
4. The user is then displayed the standard "You have successfully logged on Select your account" page.
5. When the user selects one of the accounts listed on the page, they receive the following error message, "The service is not available at the moment. Try again later"
Has any successfully launched the agent mode for Biller Direct. If you have could you please help us determine why we are receiving this error message after logging in.
We were able to successfully use the Standard and Caller Center Search Modes for Biller Direct.
Thanks

Hallo
1) someone wiser than I please correct me but I believe you do not need to restart the java engine after XCM changes nor Visual Admin changes but you do after UME changes.
2) "The service is not available at the moment" is a general error message kept simple to not worry the user. If you go into NW Admin and set the level of logging to "debug" then you see real messages and can diagnose, perhaps in conjunction with ST01 on R3.
3) I did set OA and accessed my customers.
I am on BD 6.00 and NW 7.00 SP18
Best wishes

Biller Direct Issue BP not released

We have performed the configuartion for Biller Direct.
When we log on we get the following error message
You are not authorized to execute this function, as your business partner has not released it for you.
Has anyone seen this before, if so how do you resolve this.
We have given the user in R/3 access to all FSCM delivered roles.

Hi Nrisimhanadh,
Can you please confirm whether you had performed following steps.
1) for the SC FSCM_BD, you had defined it's build-time dependencies in SLD.
2) After that you have updated the CMS.
3) Then, you added the FSCM_BD to your Track and Saved the Track. And while saving the track you had chosen "Save & Reimport" options.
4) Make sure you have placed the FSCM_BD sca into CMS/inbox folder at OS level.
5) Then, from the CMS Transport Studio you had you had checked-In those Components from Check-In Tab.
6) And then, imported the Components into Development and Consolidation Tabs.
7) Now, if you import the Track configuration into your developer studio, it must bring all your Build time dependecies as well all ther DCs that you need to modify.
If you have missed any of the above mentioned steps, then correct it.
One more input, also check whether the Developer ID that you are working with has the "NWDI.Developer" UME role assigned to it.
Let me know about your findings.
Regards,
Shreyas Pandya

Customizing Biller Direct application

Hi,
We are all set for customizing biller direct business package, and when about to begin, client came up with some questions.
What would be the impact of Patch updates or future upgrades on customization?
Our idea is to follow the modification guide... according to which, business package is delivered with a folder to include customer developments... as project demands, we need to copy existing biller direct screen and modify it to client's requirement.
The point of doubt is that SAP as delivered with current version of business package, it might deliver the customeExtension folder along with future upgrades or updates. This might result in deletion of custom developments during every upgrade/update. How do we justify to this? Ideally, SAP upgrades should only effect SAP delivered objects and not customer extension... but how do we convey the same to client?
Thanks and regards,
Nrisimhanadh Yandamuri

Hi,
Thank you Sridhar.
Is this do we need to do in java programming?
Below is a little more background of the question
From the java action class I have to call a BAPI to get the variant.
I have to set the variant that I got as it is in another Function Module, say FM-1.
I have to pass three additional parameters to the above functional module.
When I ran the function module in ABAP by setting the variant and three parameters , it is returning the pdf.
When I am running the function module from java action class, it is not getting the pdf on screen.
Now my questions are,
1. How to get and set the variant in a action class.
2. How to display the pdf after running FM-1.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sri
Please logoff the system and restart the system again and then check.Also check what is the CRM package that you are using.Check wheather CRM 4.0 60.2.3 package is there or not.
The following tables should be configured,or you will get this sort of errors.This configuration should be done in the backend by FI
-> BCONTCD
-> BCONTT
-> BCONTA

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,
Rainer

Hello 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.

If i can do or to billing directly with out using delivery

hi,
sap gurus,
if i can do using standard order to billing directly without using delivery then how i can know that the goods are delivered to that particular
customer.
here is the example of this:
there is only SD and FICO modules no MM. my client is saying he doesn't MM module to configure.
my delivering of goods place is USA.
in india i am creating a standard order and then from USA people will delivery the goods and services and then they will inform us to creating a
billing and then to FICO.
regards,
balaji.t
09990019711

you can configure third party scenario for your requirement. The delivery will be done by vendor/plant at USA and they will submit the invoice to you. This step (receipt of invoice transaction MIRO) will be considered as goods have been delivered.
Thanks
