EDI Outgoing Payment Advice
Description
By specifying an EDI link to the business partner, it is possible to do
without printing accompanying letters (so-called payment advice notes) for the
payment carrier and to electronically forward information on paid items by
means of EDI. Thus the information can be transferred to the partner faster.
The business partner can further process the data automatically.
To set up a partner for the outgoing payment advice note via EDI, the partner profiles for EDI are to be maintained within System Administration. For this select the following path within System Administration: Administration -> Process technology -> IDoc -> Partner profile . You then create a partner with outbound parameters. For the outgoing payment advice note the message type is 'REMADV' and the intermediate document type is 'PEXR2001'
For further information, see the documentation for the "IDoc Basis".
For the vendor/customer, the indicator 'Payment advice note by EDI' must be activated within master record maintenance (company code data/payment transactions).
Damage caused to data by errors
The payment advice note printout is normally repeated when the reports for generating payment mediums are restarted. This is not possible with EDI since the information may already have been sent to one or more partners. To send EDI payment advice notes again use report RFFOEDI0.
Software/hardware requirements
An EDI subsystem on an EDI server is required.
Change system parameters in customizing
Since ISO codes are transferred by EDI, the tables for the conversion of the SAP codes into ISO codes for the currency, the unit of measure and the countries must also be maintained.
You will find further information on this topic in the following chapters
of the Implementation Guide which can be accessed via "Global settings": 
"Define countries",
"Check currency codes" and
"Check units of measurement".
Changes in procedure
All payment carrier programs make use of the option (if an EDI link to the business partner exists) to send information by electronic means. These programs automatically check whether the business partner is to receive an EDI payment advice note or whether the payment advice note is printed. With the payment advice note printout, the partner receives only one payment advice note if the information cannot be transferred via the payment medium. For an EDI payment advice note, on the other hand, a payment advice note is always created.
