Bank Transfers

Use

You use this function to make payments in the form of bank transfers. The system generates payments in one of the following forms:

Payment list (borderô)

In this case, you send your bank a list of all vendor payments outstanding, and the bank transfers the payments to the bank accounts of your vendors.

Data medium exchange (DME) file

You send a DME file to your bank, which contains all payment information.

Both methods generate the same payment information for the banks; the only difference is that for the second method, the information is sent electronically. In addition, banks require an additional specification regarding the form of payment, which the system transfers to the payment list or DME file.

Prerequisites

Maintain the following information in Customizing for Financial Accounting, under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Business Transactions ® Outgoing Payments ® Automatic Outgoing Payments ® Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program ®

Set Up Payment Methods per Country for Payment Transactions

The system comes complete with payment method U (Transfêrencia), which is already set up to run the print program for printing a payment list or generating a DME file.

If you create new payment methods for bank transfers, you must specify the print program RFFOBR_U. Refer to the online documentation of the print program for complete details on how to customize bank transfers.

Set up Payment Methods per Company Code for Payment Transactions

Here you assign SAPscript forms to the payment method. Double-click the payment method and enter the forms under Form data.

J_1B_BORDERO for the payment list

J_1B_DME for the DME accompanying sheet

Set Up Paying Company Codes for Payment Transactions

When you run the print program, you have the additional option of printing payment advice notes for your vendor. If you want to do this, specify the form J_1B_AVIS for each paying company code.
