Component documentationReferential Data Interface (FS-PE-RDI) Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You use this component to upload referential data made available by external data providers to Payment Engine and to manage this data. Payment Engine supports the upload of:

  • Routing directory data

  • Standard settlement instructions (SSI)

  • Bank master data

Implementation Considerations

Referential data is essential in enrichment and validation and in the management of the routing process and clearing agreement areas. It increases straight-through-processing (STP) rates.

Features

You can process referential data in the following ways:

  • Upload referential data in a file

    On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Payment Engine   Referential Data   Upload Referential Data   (transaction /PE1/UPLOAD_RD). For more information, see:

  • Map provider-dependent referential data to a generic data structure and store the data in Payment Engine

  • Validate the structure of referential data uploaded to Payment Engine

  • Display and edit referential data

    On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Payment Engine   Referential Data  :

    •   Routing Directory   Manage Routing Directory Data   (transaction /PE1/MN_ROUTDIR)

    •   Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI)   Manage Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI)   (transaction /PE1/MN_SSI)

    •   Bank Master Data   Manage Master Data   (transaction /PE1/MN_BNKSTRUCT)

  • Display change documents for referential data records

  • Generate business partner data for every bank master data record. For more information, see Business Partner Generation (Offline).

  • Display business partners

    On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Payment Engine   Referential Data   Bank Master Data   Display Business Partners   (transaction /PECROSS/BP_BANK).

  • Determine the payment transaction chain used during straight-through processing (STP) of in cross-border payments based on standard settlement instructions (SSI)

  • Validate IBANs and IBAN-BIC combinations, for example, to ensure that a BIC and an IBAN belong to the same financial institution

  • Derive the BIC of a financial institution from an IBAN, for example, if the IBAN is present but the BIC is missing or not valid in a payment instruction

    Note Note

    The system retrieves the country code and the national ID from the IBAN and uses these attributes to search in the SAP Bank Directory. As a result, the matching BIC and branch code are returned. However, the system cannot derive a BIC from an IBAN if a financial institution issues different BICs to accounts, but issues IBANs containing the same national ID.

    End of the note.
