Executing Country-Specific Preliminary DME Programs 

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose Travel Expenses.

The Travel Expenses screen appears.

       2.      Choose Edit → Bank transfer → Pre-program DME.

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

...

                            a.      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. Choose F20.

                            b.      Choose Continue.

You are now in the Data medium exchange: Travel accounting for(...) screen.

       3.      Choose a period in the Period group box.

       4.      Enter the relevant selection criteria in the Selection group box.

       5.      Choose the relevant parameters in the Transfer parameter group box.

       6.      Specify “Umlaut” conversion, if relevant.

       7.      Specify the relevant wage type.

The wage type you choose will only be used to determine a text key.

       8.      To start the payment program, choose Program → Execute.

Since extensive amounts of data usually have to be processed, the program should be executed in the background.

Result

The travel expense results are prepared for data medium exchange. The SAP system creates a log and assigns a program run date and an identification feature.

The program run date and the identification feature are needed as start parameters both for creation of the country-specific payment program and for the check printing program.
