 Creating Country-Specific Payment Programs (DME)

When you log on to an SAP system and start a bank transfer program for the first time, the Country grouping screen appears.

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 from the SAP 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 from the SAP system, you can call the Country Grouping screen from the Travel Expenses screen again. ChooseF20

The Payment medium <country> screen appears.

Enter the program run date and the identification feature.

Do not select the Proposal run only field in connection with Travel Management, since this is a specific function of financial accounting which is not supported by Human Resources Management.

Check the Further selections group box to see if the country-specific method of payment is entered.

Make sure that the Data medium exchange field in the Print control group box is selected.

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 trip expenses on the basis of this information.
