You use this function (transaction F111
) to start the Payment Program for Payment Requests. The payment program for payment requests is an additional automatic payment option in the SAP system. Unlike the standard payment program, the payments are not based on open items (customer items) but on payment requests
.
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.
Note
You can also use a BAdI (technical name TPM_EXT_PAYMENT_TRPR
) to make payments for payment requests using another payment program (such as In-House Cash
). The BAdI is available in Customizing for the Transaction Manager
under .

Before you can use the Payment Program for Payment Requests
, you are required to make certain settings in Customizing for the Transaction Manager (TRM)
in addition to settings for configuring the payment program.
You have entered a number range for key number assignment of payment requests in Customizing for Treasury and Risk Management
under .
You have set up the planning levels for payment requests in Customizing for Cash and Liquidity Management
under .
You have created the clearing account in the chart of accounts and assigned it to the company code in Customizing for TRM under
.You have set the Payment Request
indicator for the individual flow types in the IMG activity Define Flow Types
. This activity can be found in Customizing for the Transaction Manager
in the areas Money Market
, Foreign Exchange
, Derivatives
, and Securities
. In this way, you specify whether payment requests can be generated for flow types.
You can choose from the following:
Character | 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 the business partner payment details. 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 List of Payment Methods
field. 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 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.
In a transaction, one payment request is generated for each flow. If you use the functions from the Public Sector
area, one payment request is generated for each account assignment.
Note
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.
Grouping Payment Requests
You can group payment requests with the payment program as long as the following fields match:
Business Area
Company Code
Business Partner
Payment Currency
Value Date: Recipient
Payee (bank details in the item)
Payment Method
Contents of the grouping fields (Grouping
field and Same Direction
field). The Grouping
field contains the key for the Netting function, for example. In addition, you can use the Group Determination
field in the payment details to specify what is entered in the Grouping
field. The field may be predefined for the individual business partners when the Standing Instructions for the Payment Details were defined in the business partner master data.
The contents of the Same Direction
field is also written to the Grouping
field for the payment request.
You cannot make single payments.
The payment request must be released to make the payment.
No payment blocks can be set.
Example of a Payment Block
If transactions are grouped with the netting function, they can then only be paid together. If one of the transactions has already been posted but the other has not, then a payment block is set. The block is undone once the second transaction is posted in the netting transaction.
