Charvi,

What you have asked is whole FS with training material :(:(:(
As mentioned in my above post, you need to use RFKKZEDG/RFKKZEDA  to create & modify the structures.
SAP has provided standard structures which you can use for mass programs.
Usually you'd get Payment info in a flat file from third parties like Banks, Collection agencies, Post offices etc. You need to place the info in the foresaid structures.
Program RFKKZEDG is used to create File.
Program RFKKZEDA is used to modify the file.
You have to use both.
Say if you get info like this <2 items>
A123456     400518 12345678  012250  230309
B123456     400518 12345679  013450  230309
Where A123456 is CA
400518 is Sort Code
12345678 is Account number
012250 is amount in Pence
230309 is date in ddmmyy format
Now you create a SAP file using RFKKZEDG via SE38.
Give file name as TEST
Press F8
Now you modify the sample file using RFKKZEDA via SE38
Give the above file name
Press F8
This contains the following structures
BFKKZGR00  File hdr
BFKKZK        PaymtLotHeader
BFKKZP        Payment item
BFKKZS       Addit.sel.
BFKKZV       Usage text
BFKKZK is header
Now place the info received into BFKKZP & BFKKZK structures.
Important BFKKZK fields are
BUKRS     Company Code
BUDAT      Posting Date
BLDAT      Doc. date
VALUT      Value date
AUGRD      Clearing Reason
Important BFKKZP fields are
SELT1      Selection Category (G)
SELT2      Selection Category (K)
SELT3      Selection Category (B)
SELW1      Selection Value
SELW2      Selection Value A123456
BUDAT      Posting Date             20090324 YYYYMMDD format
BLDAT      Doc. date                  20090324
VALUT      Value date                 20090324
XEIPH      Line item
AUGRD     Clearing Reason
Like wise you need to create another BFKKZP for another record in the sample file given above.
Now save and press Yes when prompted to save the file
Now go to FPB3.
Give an ID
Select Radio buttion 'Edit file ' and give TEST against Path
Select Post payment lot
Press F8.
If your structure is error free, all your 2 documents in the above sample file would be posted in SAP FICA as Payment lot documents
If there are any errors, correct them using FPB4 and go back to FPB3 & reprocess the file.
You need to write a Customized program to automate keeping the records in the flat file received from Bank to the above structures using RFKKZEDA/RFKKZEDG.
Hope this is clear and helps
