For each company code using the payment program, certain basic specifications must be in place.

Since the payment program can be used for more than one company code, you must also specify the company code that is making the payment.

To control the payment program, you must specify the following in advance:

• How payment requests are selected and, if necessary, grouped together for one payment
• The payee
• How the payment method is selected
• How the bank is selected
• Which forms and other data carriers are used

You make these specifications when:

• Configuring the payment program
• Entering data in the master records of your business partner
• Entering data in the payment requests
• Entering data for the payment run in hand
