Configure Print Program

Use

After posting the payments, you must print the payment media. Since you have specified different payment methods in the payment parameters, the print program requires print variants for the payment media and the payment advice notes.

Procedure

  1. On the Automatic Payment Transactions: Status screen, choose the Printout/data medium tab page.
  2. On the screen, you see 4 reports for Europe/3 reports for North America. Enter the following data:

    CHECK

    Report RFFOEDI1 is ignored for the purposes of this demo. RFFOAVIS can be used to print separate payment advice notes if several items are paid at the same time. Based on the current system settings, however, no separate payment advice notes will be printed. Payment advice notes will be printed with bank transfers.

    Report RFFOD_U is used for printing domestic bank transfers, although only for Europe. The checks are printed using report RFFOD_S for Europe, or RFFOUS_C for North America.

  3. Now you must actualize the program run date, the payment program name, and the printer in the variants.

    4. Select the variant AVIS (for Europe) or ADVICE (for North America).
