The standard table structures below are used for mapping in the DMEE.

Note: In order to use other SAP tables User Exits are required.

DME Tables Used for Mapping:

FPAYH - Payment medium: Payment data

FPAYHX - Payment Medium: Prepared Data for Payment

FPAYP - Payment medium: Data on paid items

DMEE_PAYD - DMEE: Structure for Note to Payee Data

Manual Outbound DME Payment Process:

1.) Payment run is executed in SAP via transaction F110..

2.) File is generated in bank specific format and stored in SAP DME Administrator.

3.) File is manually saved to local directory.4.) User Connects using bank software or at secure website.

5.) Payment File is uploaded to bank.

6.) Payment is processed and distributed to payee.

Automatic Outbound DME Payment Process:

1.) Payment run is executed in SAP via transaction F110..

2.) File is generated in bank specific format and stored in Unix Directory.

3.) File is encryped and ftped to secure location specified by bank.

4.) Payment is processed and distributed to payee.

Data Medium Exchange (DME) - Configuration

Relevant Acronyms:

PMW – Payment Medium Workbench

DME – Data Medium Exchange

DMEE – Date Medium Exchange Engine



Summary of Key Points:

• Transaction to create DME tree: DMEE

• Each DME tree must contain a Root level.

• A DME tree must be activated before it can be used.

• All DME Format trees for payments are driven by SAP standard program SAPFPAYM.

• Each field in a DME tree is named an “Element.”

• An Element’s subfield is called an “Atoms.” These atoms can be used to add additional flexibility to a field. • There are 5 main types of attributes which can be assigned to an Element or Atom. • Constant • Structure Field • Reference Tree Node • Aggregation • Exit Module

• Each node of the DME tree can contain IF statements in the form of conditions.

Data Medium Exchange: Configuration

In many instances banks in Europe and Asia Pac do not have standard file formats and EDI interfaces are not utilized.

This was the chosen method since each of these banks requires payments to be sent in their own unique file formats,

which have not been standardized. Using the DMEE we are able to easily create, generate, and maintain files for each o

these banks specific requirements. Below are the required steps to successfully configure the DME in the SAP system in

order to generate a payment file using the F110 transaction.

Create Payment Medium Format: SPRO

PaymentsàAutomatic Outgoing Paymentsà Payment Mediaà Make Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Paymen

Medium Workbenchà Create Payment Medium Formats

In this step of the configuration the Payment medium formats need to be created for each DMEE tree configured. The

new format must contain the same name as the DMEE format tree. We then choose the format output Payment medium

Without Docs to designate only the payment file will be generated and the type File to signal a flat file will be generated

rather than an IDoc or XML file type. Next, under Program Control, set the Mapping using DME engine indicator, which

links the format to the custom DMEE object. Last, the Company Code check box is selected which instructs the program

to create a file for each company code involved in the payment run.



Assign Payment Medium Format to Payment Method at Country Level: Transaction FBZP

Medium Workbenchà Assign Payment Medium Format and Note to Payee to Payment Method

For each country and each payment method the Payment Medium Workbench must be assigned. This is done by

selecting the country and the corresponding payment method which will be using the Data Medium Exchange(DME). The option button “Use Payment Medium Workbench” is then selected and the Payment Medium Format, which

was created in the previous step and which also possesses the same name as the DME file structure is assigned in the

format field.

Create Variant: Transaction SA38

SystemàServicesàReporting (Enter Program)àGotoàVariants

For payment medium programs using the payment medium workbench or for the DMEE in particular, variants must be

created here rather than directly in the payment program via transaction F110.

Follow the menu path or enter the transaction code and enter the program name SAPFPAYM. This is the standard

payment program which is being used in combination with our custom file structures to generate a file in the banks

specified format. Once the program name is entered select GotoàVariants which will then display a screen where the new

variant can be named or where an existing variant can be altered. A user defined name can then be entered and created.

Next, the standard selection screen for the program SAPFPAYM will appear where the parameters for the file format can

be entered and saved. This is where the standard program is instructed to use a designated Payment Medium and also

where to store the file generated from the payment run. Files can be stored on the server, to a location on the users

desktop or if left blank they will be saved internally within a TemSe for the F110 transaction.

Also, if required dynamic selections can be entered for each variant, in which the user can select house banks, accoun

ids and payment methods applicable to the program.



Assign Variant: Transaction OBPM4

Last, the variant created previously must be assigned to the relevant company codes. The Payment Medium Format is

selected and the company codes will appear in the window to the right. All of the company codes will appear for the given

country, because earlier we assigned this format to a specified country and payment method. When we select the file

format it brings up all the corresponding company codes for that country and payment method combinations. The varian

that was previously created should now be assigned to the company code which will be using the DME to generate

payments.

Data Medium Exchange (DME) - Mapping

Transaction: DMEE

Tree Type: PAYM



The purpose of mapping is to reconstruct a file from the SAP system, which then bank can then use to process payments.

The process of mapping begins with the bank first providing a file format. The format documents and file examples are

then used to map the fields in SAP.

Once complete the mapping is attached to the SAP Accounts Payable configuration so an output file can be generated

during a payment run.

File Structure:

The first two levels are mandatory, and the levels beneath the dotted line differ depending on the structure of the bank file

format. This ability to define the various subnodes within the payment file allows the user to define the structure of the file

according to the bank’s specifications.

Node Types:

Segment Group

Segment groups are used for arranging segments. Segment groups can be followed by these nodes: segment groups or

segments. In most cases, a new level in a DMEE tree begins with a segment group.

Segment

A segment represents a record in the target file. In an active format tree, each segment must have at least one composite

or one element as a subnode. If you created a segment that contains only segments and segment groups as subnodes

you can convert the node to a segment group.

Composite



You create a composite for the purpose of grouping elements. Such a grouping is logical if, for example, one condition

applies to several consecutive elements.

Element

An element represents a field in the target file. For each element, you specify with which value or from which source field

this file field is to be filled. If more than one mapping rule applies to an element - if the rules are dependent on conditions

or if different parts of the element are to be filled from different sources - then you should define several atoms

as subnodes of the element.

Technical Node

A technical node is an element that is not output to the target file. It stores values that are used in other tree nodes

(elements, atoms) by

reference to the technical node. For this reason, a technical node generally contains a reference ID. If you wish to outpu

the contents of the technical node to the target file, then you can convert the node to an element.

Atom

You need to create an atom when you define more than one mapping rule for an element.

Selected Node for Detail View

This node was selected by double-clicking it. The details displayed on the top right belong to this node. All toolba

operations (delete, copy, and so on) apply to this node. In contrast, all operations that you can select from the context-

sensitive menu with a right mouse click refer to the node which is currently selected by a single click.

Reference ID of Node

A node that contains a reference ID can be referenced from other nodes in the format tree. You can specify such a

reference when you define mapping rules, conditions, or aggregation. You must assign unique reference IDs (within the

tree). When you delete a node that contains a reference ID, be sure that no references to this node exist.

Reference to another node exists

This node contains a reference to another node. Moving the node could result in inconsistencies since certain references

are not permitted in parts of the tree.

Click Save:

Click on Status tab, and then click the Status Button.

Click the Proposal Button:

Click Enter:



The "Create Payment Medium" check box tells the program to generate the file.

In this case we are generating the file from the payment proposal. This is usually left unchecked until the payment portion

of the run.

Proposal has been scheduled

Click Status again and buttons next to the status button will appear.



Click Pmt Run:

Payment has been scheduled.

Click Status Again and the buttons will re-appear.

Click Printout and a popup message will appear.



Click enter:

The Printjob is scheduled, and then press status again.

Now Navigate to Path: EnvironmentàPayment MediumàDME Administration

Click on line with Proposal Check box (3rd

Column)

*Note* If you generated the file from the payment instead of the proposal, then choose the line without the proposa

checkbox.



Save to Local Directory and click enter.

The file generated from the program will now be in the local directory you have specified.

This method is mostly used to test the file formats before "go-live."

In most cases, in a "live" environment, the file will be generated to a secure location such as a unix directory. Then

encryped and ftped to the bank.

The required directory location can be determined when setting up the variant for SAP program "SAPFPAYM."



We plan to integrate the bank statement in SAP MT940 format to SAP. how to configure the SAP for uploading the SAP MT940 format?

Based on the external transaction type, you will link to the posting rules. Yes there are so many subfields, available if you see 61 fields,

it tells you about the payment you have received/made, it gives the line item details of a particular transaction.

My sincere request is dont look at the bank statement and do the configuration. Do the configuration first and then SAP provides one

program RFEBKATX. Using this program you can create a bank statement file and customer line items. Once after bank statement file

is created you can import it using FF_5 and if your configuration is not properly made, it will let you know where you are missing. But

this program will generate bank statement file in multi cash. How ever if your configuration is correct and if you are able to import bank

statement, then there will not be any difficulty in importing MT 940.
