Purpose

The Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) is a tool used to configure and create payment media sent by organizations to their house banks. This generic tool will gradually phase out the classic payment medium programs (RFFO*) due to the range of advantages that it provides.

• Superior control and verification of payment procedure

• Improved performance with mass payments (> 50,000)

• Better sort functions with payment advice notes

• Clearer to work with than the myriad previous payment medium programs

• Easier to maintain and to extend

Implementation Considerations

Before you can use the Payment Medium Workbench, you have to make various settings in Customizing. You can find the relevant activities in Customizing for Financial Accounting, under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable  Business Transactions  Outgoing Payments  Automatic Outgoing Payments  Payment Media  Make Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Payment Medium Workbench .

Integration

The Payment Medium Workbench can be used by several components, for example FI-AP/AR, FI-TV, HR-PY, TR-CM, and TR-TM.

Features

The Payment Medium Workbench is embedded in a development environment. You can access all Workbench objects, (program objects, dictionary objects, and mapping tool objects) with a double-click. The Payment Medium Workbench encompasses the following areas:

1. Customizing for payment media

• Defining Payment Medium Formats

• Adjusting payment medium formats

• Adjusting the Note to Payee

• Assigning payment medium format and note to payee

• Creating, Assigning, and Transporting Selection Variants

1. Creating Payment Media

• Creating payment media without documents in file form

• Output of the created data media into DME administration

DME administration supports both files stored in the TemSe or the file system, and payment messages like Internet payments (OFX) or IDoc.

• Creation of payment advice notes

• Output of the created payment advice notes as letter, fax, or IDoc

• Creation of an output log (an error log too, if necessary) for each program run of the payment medium program

Constraints

At the present time, not all formats that can be created using the classic payment medium programs (RFFO*) are supported. You can display a complete list of available payment medium formats in format definition, or by using input help (in configuration of payment methods in the country, for example).

目的

支付媒介工作台(PMW)是一个用于配置和创建支付媒介的工具，由组织发送到他们的内部银行。这一通用工具将逐步淘汰传统的支付媒介程序(RFFO*)，因为它提供的一系列优势。

上级对付款流程的控制和审核

通过大量支付改进了性能(> 50,000)

更好的排序功能与支付建议提示

比之前无数的支付媒介程序更清楚的工作

易于维护和扩展

实现注意事项

在您可以使用支付媒介工作台之前，您必须在自定义中进行各种设置。您可以在“为财务会计定制”中找到相关活动，在“应收账款和应付账款业务交易”下的“支付款项自动支付款项”支付媒体从支付媒体工作台设置支付媒体格式。

集成

支付媒介工作台可以被多个组件使用，例如FI-AP/AR、FI-TV、HR-PY、TR-CM和TR-TM。

特性

支付媒介工作台嵌入到开发环境中。您可以通过双击访问所有Workbench对象(程序对象、字典对象和映射工具对象)。支付媒介工作台包括以下领域:

定制支付媒体

定义支付媒介格式

调整支付媒介格式

调整票据至收款人

分配支付媒介格式和通知给收款人

创建、分配和传输选择变量

创建支付媒体

创建支付媒体没有文件形式的文档

将创建的数据媒体输出到DME管理中

DME管理既支持存储在TemSe或文件系统中的文件，也支持像Internet支付(OFX)或IDoc这样的支付消息。

创建付款通知

以信件、传真或IDoc的形式输出已创建的付款通知

为支付媒介程序的每个程序运行创建一个输出日志(如果需要，也可以是一个错误日志)

约束

目前，并不是所有可以使用经典支付媒介程序(RFFO*)创建的格式都得到支持。您可以在格式定义中显示可用支付媒介格式的完整列表，或者使用输入帮助(例如在国家的支付方法配置中)。

Payment Medium Format  -- 支付媒体格式

Definition

The payment medium format controls how payment orders and debit memo orders to the bank are created. The specifications (published by the banks or the central banking committees) of the formats serve as the basis for definition of payment medium formats.

支付媒体格式控制到银行的付款订单和借记通知单是如何创建的。详细格式规范( 由银行或*银行推动 )是定义支付媒体格式的基础。

Example

Example

• Payment medium without documents: DME or Internet payments

• Country-specific formats: ACH, DTAUS0

The Payment Medium Workbench contains a range of predefined formats, like the DTAUS0 format for domestic payment transactions in Germany, ACH for domestic payment transactions in USA, and OFX for Internet payments via OFX.

To create a format, in Customizing for Financial Accounting, choose Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable  Business Transactions  Outgoing Payments  Automatic Outgoing Payments  Payment Media  Make Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Payment Medium Workbench  Create Payment Medium Formats.

To change a format, in Customizing for Financial Accounting, choose Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable  Business Transactions  Outgoing Payments  Automatic Outgoing Payments  Payment Media  Make Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Payment Medium Workbench  Adjust Payment Medium Format.

Formats contain various fields that are filled with field contents from your SAP system. This transaction is called mapping. There are two ways in which mapping can occur.

• With/to programmed function modules

• Using the Data Medium Exchange Engine

Use

The payment medium format can be country-dependent or country-independent and is assigned to one or more payment methods.

Structure

The following settings are made during definition of a format:

1. Payment medium type (DME, for example)

2. Level of detail of the payment medium

3. This is the level at which payment orders should be grouped in a file (for example creation of a file per combination of house bank and paying company code).

4. Format-specific parameters

5. Payment Medium Format Supplements (for example format-specific description for bank transfer and debit memo)

6. Events that call function modules, connection to DME Engine

7. Size of text fields for the Note to Payee

Example

Example

The note to payee for the German format DTAUS0 is described as follows:

• 13 x 27 bytes of space for the main note to payee (body text of 13 lines each with 27 characters)

• 1 x 11 bytes of space for the internal short reference

• 1 x 27 bytes of space for the external short reference

 With the previous classic method for creation of payment media, the format is implemented as a program whilst the structure of the note to payee is predefined.
