FSCM-CR - Extension of Payment Behavior KPI

[former_member1049007]

Hi,

I would like to confirm the capability of extend Payment Behavior KPI's via report UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR. For example, would it be possible to calculate and send for example the following KPI's, in addition to the standard ones?

- Open items balance, Due balance, Overdue balance, Days in arrears, any other KPIs calculated and stored in Z tables.

Thanks,

Hi ,

as per the requirement mentioned it is possible to send the KPI for the payment behavoiur summary but customization has to be carried out in the transaction , including in the XI structure(since th data is being transmitted by XI) and also the BP has to customized or field exit has to enhanced to recieve the KPI of the payment behaviour summary , further enhancement has to be carried out in the badi UKM_FILL for the method fill_vector . but the standard transaction ukm_transfer _vector has to be modified

Hi,

Do you mean we need to change the standard program UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR too, not only the BAdi? I was looking for standard enhancements points.

I have the indication that we can store extra data in table UKM_TRANSFER_ARV by a customer report and process the data with the BAdi UKM_FILL, isn't this enough?

Thanks and regards,

Hi -

I'm doing the same thing on a project I am working on now...client wants additional information (KPI's if you will) - among the things they are looking for are precisely the things you mentioned (in terms of KPI's)

We looked at attaching it to the Payment Behaviors tab. Here is what it would have involved:

- A new .APPEND structure to UKMBP_VECTOR_IT to store your custom fields

- A change to UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR to update the new fields

- A new view on the Payment Behaviors tab along with the logic to fetch the new data from UKMBP_VECTOR_IT

As you can see, there certainly is customization/ehancement to be had here. It is more than activating a BAdI.

We considered other options but ended up settling on creating an entirely new tab in FSCM CM for the customer-specific data. The development/enhancement steps are similar:

1. Brand new Ztable modeled after UKMBP_VECTOR_IT - including the same key structure

2. Cloned UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR verbetim - changed the logic to address precisely the fields we needed - the new ones of course.

3. A couple of new views in FSCM CM at the credit segment level. This was a lot of fun getting them hooked up to the menu structure (NOT!) - but I did it. (Geez, the crap looks like it was delivered by SAP...but it wasn't).

The goal of isolating this stuff on to its own tab was to completely isolate the enhancement in case SAP decides to step on it in the future.

Hope this helps.

hi there

Our tab KPI Payment Behaviour is blank on the BP master data... we have no fields on the screen, just a tab.

Also, every time we save a BP via UKM_BP, we get the following warning:

Customising Error: Display Structure Not Defined

What are we missing? please advise
