What is a DME file?

hi
DME - Data Medium Exchange.
For example in APP - For Bank Transfers we have to use DME file. After run the payment program, system will generate DME file, that we have to send it to Bank.
Same as for Tax also. but we have to sit with ABAP guy and develop. yes we can create DME for that. But better use SAP Script Forms.
DME (Data Medium Engine) which replaces conventional ABAP programs

Hope this helps
if it helped, you can acknowledge the same by rewarding

DME file in XML format in SAP 4.6C

Hi Experts,
For a Belgium client, I have a requirement to generate DME file in XML format for payments made to foreign and domestic vendors. I want to know the following,
1. Can DME file be generated in XML format using classic payment medium programs RFFOBE_E and RFFOBE_I.
2. If not why and what are the other options.
3. I also came to know that there is an options of using Payment medium workbench - through XML format trees BE_BEPDTA and BE_PIBDTA. But since we are in 4.6C, i am not able to create a payment format. Is there any support package or patch that is required.
4. I tried for SEPA_CT - again a XML format tree but was not very successful as that too was not available in SAP 4.6C. Is there any way that I can get this done in 4.6C - any support packages or patches available?
Thanks

Hi Kaylan,
could you please share that documentation with me too.

Minus Sign in the Downloaded DME file using F110 Transaction

Hi All,
From the F110 Transaction I navigate to the DME Administration from the menu bar in order to download the DME file into my system. I could open the txt file that is downloaded. Now my requirement is to add a minus sign to the invoice amount of the txt file.
I tried debugging the program to find out where the data is populated but was unable to. I can see the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD that downloads the file but the internal table contains hexadecimal data.I don't understand how this is converted to the text data.
I'm unsure of what to do.... Any body has any suggestions.
Regards,
Shipin Paul

Hi Anmol,
Your answer helped me a lot. I am really thankful. But my issue is not solved.
I went to the DMEE Transaction and gave the correct format and the tree type as input.
Inside the format i went into the amount element as you have mentioned and included an exit module with the respective coding.
Then i execute the transaction F110 with the Run date and Identification.
I then navigate to the menubar Enviroment->Payment Medium->DME Administration so as to download it into my system as notepad.
I select one of the entries and press the download button. But it does not stop at the exit which i included in the DMEE Transaction
even though i have created a breakpoint there..
Do you have any idea about this.
Regards,
Shipin Paul

F110 DME File Rejected

Hi
The DME file created was rejected twice. I cannot see any issue in the payment run. Payment document and DME file were created. However the bank notified the file is rejected due to file not being balanced.
Any idea what could be the cause?
Thanks
NW

Only bank can tell you that what parameters they are checking to see that the file is balanced or not.
Then only you can check your DME file for the issue concerned.

Reasons for not creating a DME file in the payment program (F110)?

Hi,
I am using the payment program F110 for customer payments.
A payment run was carried out:
Parameters have been entered. Payment proposal has been created. Payment run has been carried out. Posting orders: 17 generated, 17 completed.
However, the DME file was not created.
What could be the reason?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Solved.
Someone has changed the variant of the payment program.
The DME file name had disappeared.

How can we make a Grouping of Invoices in DME file by Vendor.

Dear.
We have created own DME format to correspond with CITI bank.
Payment proposal docs are currently showing "summarized" by vendor as expected.
However, DME text file do not show as proposal does.
How can we create DME file , grouping invoices by vendor in one line-text format as proposal shows.?
Where should I go to check ?
Sincerely,
Mr.DME.

Ok,
Let me take this example.
Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
Hope it makse sense.

Kindly check at DMEE Properties under "Level" Tab:
Repetition Factor for Level for Node of ( H,,,) change to 99. Just try and error basis it going to solve your problem.

Problem in transferring the text in the DME file

Hi Experts,
We are generating the DME file from the PMW in F110 payment run.
Now while entering the invoice in MIRO/ FB60, we are entering some text, but that is not getting transferred to the DME file, even we have mapped the field FPAYP-SGTXT.
So what could be going wrong for this field in DME format?
Thanks to all,
Atif

Hi Atif,
Please check the below OSS notes:-

Generation of DME file in FI_CO

Hi all,
I have a requirement to generate dme file for singapore with three record sturture namely - header record, detail record, trailer record. can anyone please tell me what is the standard program which generates such kind of file format.
Please help. Its urgent.
Edited by: srinivas kodukula on Aug 7, 2008 5:12 PM

Hello Rob,
thanks for your reply.
Yes I did a check of the OSS notes and I found that OSS 1365764 (Pls see below) describes exactly the problem I have but it is relevant only for payments and DME files created with this purpose.
Also the DCP parameter (that has to be specified at user level) is only relevant for RFFO* programs.
Note 1365764 - Codepage of DME file
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1365764
Also the two following notes
Note 911190 - PMW: Entering the code page when writing and downloading
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/911190
Note 899205 - RFUMSV00: DMEE format tree with additional parameters
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/899205
So to be honest I do not really know how to look at to solve the issue.
Thanks again for your reply & best regards

DME file

Do we need to have vendors bank information for generating ACH file to pay him? If yes, what details would go in "Reference Details" under payment tranasctions in vendor master. How is payment medium rffous_t conected to dme file. for eg, if we want to create a new dme file, how do we assign it or connect to the rffous:t?

Hello,
F110 is connected to the RFFO or PMW in the last tab of the F110 first screen. If you check this you will see the payment program ( RFFO* or PMW ) associated and the related variant.
You can find further information on:

DME file structures

Hi,
While generating DME file, i store header data, detail data, and trailer data in separate structure. But what happens is the data are printing continuously. I want to print header data in first line and detail data should commence on next line.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi Martins
I am developing this interface for Wire transfer payment method.
I need little more info about the step 2 and 4.
In the step 1after generating the DME file, i have to send it to Citi bank in CZech republic in step 2. They have certain file formats for importing. For that i need to make sure that the fields of DME should match their import file structure. Tell me my understanding is clear or not.
What is the relation of RFEBKA00 program with the steps you have mentioned?
In step 3 i will be receiving the bank statement in MT940 from the bank ( which is there export file )
In step 4 i have to upload that file into FF_5. Here i have two file formats for MT940.
a) Swift MT940 international format ( field 86 unstructured)
b) Swift MT940 with field 86 structured.
Which one i have to use ? what is the importance of Field 86.
step 5 : T code FEBAN doesn't Exist in 4.6C
Can you please let me know the actual T code in 4.6 C ?
Please do clarify. I really appreciate your response in this regard.
Thanks in Advance

DME File issue

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am working on one DME file format 'iFile' for China. We do have one requirement that Bank name and Beneficiary name field should not exceed 11 characters and if the name is exceeding 11 characters than it should appear in different field. For e.g. if the bank name is 'Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited' than it should need to be mapped as given below:
Field 1              Hongkong an
Fileld 2             d Shanghai
Field 3              banking Cor
Field 4              poration Li
Field 5              mited
Will it be possible to map the field in DME engine as metioned above. If not, what will be the alternative solution for this problem.
Many thanks for your support.
Regards,
SATVIR SINGH

Hi,
You can achieve this in the following manner:
1. Create 5 Atoms under the Element Beneficiary Bank Name and give Own Mapping in the attributes tab.
2. Give the names of each of the Atom as BBN1, BBN2, BBN3, BBN4 & BBN5 and give exit module in the attributes tab.
3. Take the help of your ABAP colleague and create a user exit with the logic as: Take the full name of the Bank name in a temporary field. Use the WRAP function in the ABAP coding and, fill the 1st field up to 11 characters till it finds a space. Fill the next by removing the prefix space and upto the suffix space and so on. But, the problem here is if we take your example, the name is u201CHongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limitedu201D. This will come as BBN1: u201CHongkongu201D, BBN2: u201Candu201D, BBN3: u201CShanghaiu201D, BBN4: u201CBankingu201D, BBN5: u201CCorporationu201D. Here u201CLimitedu201D cannot be accommodated. Instead, if the name of the bank is changed to u201CHongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation Limitedu201D then, BBN1 will have u201CHongkong &u201D and the rest of the name in other fields.
4. The reason for giving standard names to the Atoms in point.2 (which represent the 5 fields) is to enable these names to be used in the coding as given in point.3.
The above solution will work only if small adjustments are done in the master data for names which are intervening between two fields.
Hope it is clear and useful.

Kiron Kumar T.

DME file generation in APP

Hi All,
Can you tell me, how i can generate DME file after APP run, what program should i use for this and are there any other specific settings required to generate

Hello,
Follow the below step,
1) Create a structure in the transaction code DMEE
2) Assign the DMME structure in the payment method by conuntry in FBZP
3) Create the payment medium Formats with the same name as given in the DMEE structure ( PATH : AP - Business transaction - outgoing payment - automatic outgoing payment - payment media - make settings for payment medium from payment medium workbench - create payment medium formats)
4) create a variant for the DMEE structure you created (Select the DMEE you created and create a new variant)
5) Then execute the F110
based on the above config and settings, DME file will be generated.
Hope this clarifies.

Missing vendor in DME file

Hi Experts,
I would like to know that I have generated the APP payment run for 5 vendor, however, in the DMe file I can only see 4 vendor are listed, Can I know what can be the possible reason behind not including the 1 vendor in the DME file. In the APP run its clearly showing 5 completed, 5 generated however, the DMe file does not include the one vendor. Can some one help me to understand this issue. How it work? I am getting Error message "Message No. BFIBL02 160", I went to scn link for the same issue since this error is showing due to extraction of more than one DME file. I wanted to know why one of the vendor is missing in the DME file.
Thanking you all in Advance.
Regards:
Jamshed

Hi,
In APP run its clearly showing 5 completed, 5 generated however, the DMe file does not include the one vendor, SO if the VMd has missing payment method then it could show some error,

AP - DME File creation Process

We are in the new SAP Implementation. For this we have configured the F110 Automatic Payment Program.
We have now 3 Invoices ready for payment - one for Wire, Check & ACH
We want to create the DME files for ACH and Wire & Print the Check.
Would some one explain me the steps involved please?
Thanks a lot.
V

Hi,
My client also has a requirement to implement ACH CCD+ using Payment Medium Workbench for payments to vemdors.
Currently we have the check method and below procedure is followed:
1) Execute F110
2) A text file is created though a custom program ZFCHX: "Positive Pay File File: Check Extract Creation"
3) The file is uploaded to bank server
4) After some days, "check clearing.txt" file is downloaded from the bank. (BAI Format)
5) The downladed file is processed through transaction FF_5 "Bank Statement: Various Formats (SWIFT, MultiCash, BAI...)
(Clearing sub bank account with main bank account)
6) Then use transaction code FEBAN to process if anything didnt get posted.
ACH CCD+:
I have configured almost all of the settings ( i think so). In testing client, I made couple of invoices for 2 vendors, then executed F110 and was able to generate the DME file (txt format). For testing purpose, it was sent to the bank and was processed successfully. Now the bank has sent back a file. According to the bank, one file is "transaction journal".
Transaction Journal File: L20TRNR
I have no clue what format are these. Whenever i open them it asks for the program and normally i am using notepad to open them. But once opened through notepad, the data looks messed up. So i dont know which program should i be using to open them. And its not a BAI format, multi cash etc. And it has the basic details like total payment, our bank details etc The bank says there wont b any other file sent back.
After getting the file from the bank, i am stuck now. Dont know how to proceed further.
What to do with this file? Do we have to upload them ; if yes then how? Are these to be converted to some other format and then uploaded in SAP? Or should i be expecting some other file? Will there be any file for bank reconciliation (for clearing sub bank and main bank account). My main issue is running FF_5 and posting the clearing entries but I don't know how to do it with this file.
So i'll really appreciate if anyone can let me know ALL the steps to go further from here. I mean after receiving the files what steps need to be followed to finish the process. And if there is any configuration left, what is it. Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
