Customizing Incoming DME Files 

Delivered Settings

The system comes complete with basic Customizing settings that enable you to clear open items based on return (retorno) files in the SISPAG (Itaú) and PFEB (Bradesco) formats. This includes the definition of SAP-internal transaction codes (in the form of posting rules), and the assignment of external transaction codes used in the SISPAG format to the posting rules. Settings for the Febraban/CNAB format are the same as for SISPAG format. For more information on customizing electronic bank statements, see Recommended Sequence of Configuration Tasks.

If you need to create new external transaction codes, note that there is a Brazilian-specific interpretation algorithm, 030, which searches for line items via the document number, year, and line item.

In Customizing for FI, choose Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Business Transactions ® Incoming Payments ® Incoming Payments Global Settings ® Define Accounts for Bank Charges (Customers).
