Create Payment Medium Formats

Create a new format with the same name as your DMEE format tree. Choose the format output Payment medium without docs ., and type File . Under Program control , set the Mapping using DME engine indicator. Once this indicator is set, the DME engine button appears, which allows you to access the DMEE format tree directly.

Under Format information , specify your country. You can also write documentation for your PMW format by choosing the field help for the Documentation module field. From there, choose Proceed , and a document maintenance screen appears. Select document class General text , enter a name for the text, and create the documentation. Lastly, enter the name of this text in the PMW format in the Documentation module field.

Note Note

When you create your DMEE format tree, you also have the option of documenting it. The field help for the Documentation field (part of the header data – Administrative data ) describes how to set a link from the DMEE documentation to the corresponding PMW format documentation.

End of the note.

Assign Payment Medium Format and Note to Payee to Payment Method

You need to specify that the PMW is to be used for the given payment method. To do so, double-click the payment method. Under Payment medium , set the Use payment medium workbench indicator and enter the PMW format name you created in step 1 (which must have the same name as the corresponding DMEE format tree). If you created documentation for the PMW format in step 1, once you choose Enter , an i button appears next to the format name. If you choose the Format settings button, you branch to the settings for the PMW format (the activity in step 1).
