You use this component to upload referential data made available by external data providers to Payment Engine
and to manage this data. Payment Engine
supports the upload of:
Routing directory data
Standard settlement instructions (SSI)
Bank master data
Referential data is essential in enrichment and validation and in the management of the routing process and clearing agreement areas. It increases straight-through-processing (STP) rates.
You can process referential data in the following ways:
Upload referential data in a file
On the SAP Easy Access
screen, choose (transaction /PE1/UPLOAD_RD
). For more information, see:
Map provider-dependent referential data to a generic data structure and store the data in Payment Engine

Determine the payment transaction chain used during straight-through processing (STP) of in cross-border payments based on standard settlement instructions (SSI)
Validate IBANs and IBAN-BIC combinations, for example, to ensure that a BIC and an IBAN belong to the same financial institution
Derive the BIC of a financial institution from an IBAN, for example, if the IBAN is present but the BIC is missing or not valid in a payment instruction
Note
The system retrieves the country code and the national ID from the IBAN and uses these attributes to search in the SAP Bank Directory. As a result, the matching BIC and branch code are returned. However, the system cannot derive a BIC from an IBAN if a financial institution issues different BICs to accounts, but issues IBANs containing the same national ID.
