Create Country-Specific Payment Programs (DME) 

Prerequisites

The travel expenses results must be prepared via the country-specific preprogram (preliminary program) for data medium exchange for the data to be processed by the country-specific payment program. You need the program run date and the identification feature from each preprogram run.

Procedure

  1. Choose Travel Expenses.
  2. Choose Edit ® Bank transfer ® Create DME.

When you log on to an R/3 System and start a bank transfer program for the first time, the Country grouping screen appears.

a) Enter the relevant personnel country grouping.

The personnel country grouping chosen here will not be deleted when you leave the program. As long as you have not logged off the R/3 System, the choice made here will be used by the system automatically each time you start a bank transfer program. In order to change the country grouping without logging off the R/3 System, you can call the Country grouping screen from the Travel Expenses screen again. Choose F20.

b) Choose Continue.

The Payment medium <country> screen appears.
  1. Enter the program run date and the identification feature.

You must not select the Proposal run only field in connection with Travel Management, since this is a specific function of financial accounting that is not supported by Human Resources Management.
  1. Check the Further selections group box to see if the country-specific method of payment is entered.
  2. Make sure that the Data medium exchange field in the Print control group box is selected.
  3. To start the payment program, choose Program ® Execute.

Result

The program creates a sequential file that is transferred to the house bank either online or via disk. The house bank can pay the employee for the travel expenses on the basis of this information.
