Payment Requests 
Use
You use this
function (transaction F111) to start the 
Payment Program for
Payment Requests. This is an additional option for automatic payment in
the SAP system. Unlike the standard payment program, the payments are not
based on open items (customer items) but on payment requests.
Integration
You use the Payment Program for Payment Requests in the Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Derivatives, and Securities areas of Treasury and Risk Management and in Loans Management in the Bank Applications area.
There is a link to
the payment details. The system can, therefore, use the house bank specified
in the payment details to update the payment data in SAP Cash
Management.
Prerequisites
Before you can use the Payment Program for Payment Requests, you are required to make certain settings in Customizing for TRM in addition to settings in the payment program.
...
Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Derivatives, and Securities Areas
...
· You have entered a number range for key number assignment of payment requests in Customizing for Treasury and Risk Management by choosing Transaction Manager ® General Settings ® Payment Management ® Payment Requests ® Define Number Ranges for Payment Requests.
· You have set up the planning levels for payment requests in Customizing for Cash and Liquidity Management by choosing Master Data ® G/L Accounts ® Define Planning Levels.
· You have created the clearing account in the chart of accounts and assigned it to the company code in Customizing for TRM by choosing Transaction Manager ® General Settings ® Payment Management ® Payment Requests ® Define Clearing Account for Payment Requests.
Securities Area
· You have made the necessary settings in Customizing for TRM by choosing Transaction Manager ® General Settings ® Organization ® Define Company Code Additional Data in the Securities Settings menu.
· You have called the transaction Payment Details (TBI1), set the Payment Request indicator and entered at least one payment method in the field List of Payment Methods on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Treasury and Risk Management ® Business Partners ® Special Functions ® Standing Instructions.
To generate a payment request for a transaction, choose Goto ® Payment Request when you enter a transaction. A dialog box appears in which you maintain the payment details. The fields contain data from the standing instructions. To generate a payment request, you need to set the Payment Request indicator. One payment request is generated per transaction by the net payment amount of the transaction. If a transaction contains several flows, they are grouped together to form a single payment request.
In the relevant posting record, the bank clearing account is exchanged for the clearing account for payment requests. The payment program for payment requests makes the clearing posting from the clearing account for payment requests to the original bank clearing account.
The use of payment requests in the Securities area is subject to the following restrictions:
§ You can only generate payment requests for transactions.
§ The system only supports payment requests for G/L account postings. It does not support customer payment requests.
§ Individual payments can always be made for the payment requests generated, irrespective of the settings made in the standing instructions for grouping payment requests.
Money Market, Foreign Exchange, and Derivative Financial Instruments Areas
· You have set the Payment Request indicator in these areas in Customizing for TRM in the IMG activity Define Flow Types. This determines whether or not the individual flow types are allowed to generate payment requests.
You can choose from the following:
Sign |
Create payment request? |
|
None |
- |
For outgoing payments |
+ |
For incoming payments |
X |
For outgoing and incoming payments |
If you want to generate payment requests for transactions with a business partner, you can define these in the standing instructions for payment details. These entries are only effective if the settings made for payment requests allow them to be generated at flow level, as described above. To do this, set the Payment Request indicator in the Standing Instructions of the payment details and enter at least one payment method in the field List of Payment Methods. These settings are the default values for the payment details for each transaction with the business partner. You make the final decision as to whether to generate a payment request, however, when you actually enter the transaction. If you do not want to generate a payment request, you can overwrite the default values from the standing instructions in the payment details for the transaction.
For more information on the settings in the loans
area, see Payment
Request.
You have also made the required settings for the
payment program in Customizing (see Customizing of the
Payment Program). After you have executed the Payment Program for
Payment Requests (F111), choose Environment ® Configuration to get to the
Customizing for the payment program.
