If you specify an EDI connection to a business partner, you do not need to print cover letters (payment advice notes) for the payment medium and you can pass on the information about paid items electronically using EDI. Your business partner then receives the information sooner and can process the data automatically.

You create the Idoc for the payment advice note directly from FI, without message control.

The payment advice note is stored in the note data bank and is then available to clear open items.
