Generate Check File for outgoing checks

[former_member597805]

Hi, need your expertise please.

We would like to automate our outgoing payment process by generating a check file that we can upload to our bank for all printed checks over a period (can be in a day or so). At present, we are already printing checks from ByDesign but has to manually create the file for bank upload every day. Is there a way to automate/generate the check file from ByDesign after the checks are printed? So the process should follow:

1. Create and print checks (payment status In Transfer)

2. Generate check file for In Transfer checks within the day (through run, or something)

Hello Vera,

From what I read, I assume you create a payment media file for outgoing payments every day. This process can be automated using the Payment Media Run in the Workcenter Payment Management -> Periodic Tasks -> Payment Media Run (see SAP Help). This job can be scheduled to be executed regularly. The result is a new outgoing file, which you see in Liquidity Management -> File Management -> Outbound Files. So you simply automate your manual ByD process.

Remark: this payment file option also depends from the country. I assume that you use it already ...

Best regards
