F110 payment file extract

[Former Member]

Hi, we've completed the configuration to generate the payment file for the bank so the file is properly created using transaction F110. We are able to see the generated file under Environment --> Payment Medium --> DME Administration.

What we need now is to send this file to a shared directory where the file can be read and sent to the Bank servers. Is there any configuration where we can set in which folder this file should be sent to?

Regards,

Pablo.

Hi Pablo,

It is not very streight forward becase the file contain finacial data and very important. Normally the file received by bank should also have electronic signature on it sothat bank recongnize it a secure file.

When you use Payment Method Workbench, you can create the IDOCs and in ALE settings you can define as to where the file is required to be written when IDOC is successful. Agin this server will not be bank server it will be internal server.

From there may be (e.g. XI or Informatica) can pick the data add signature file and send to bank server.

Hope this helps!!!

Hi, thanks for your reply

We are already aware of how to sign, encrypt and the files to the bank.

My only problem is how to get the files out from ECC. When you say

"When you use Payment Method Workbench, you can create the IDOCs and in ALE settings you can define as to where the file is required to be written when IDOC is successful. 

Does that mean that besides the IDoc been sent out, a file is also created and sent to a specific locaiotn? Do you have any documentation around this?

I wouldn't like to use the IDoc because then we would need to map the IDoc again to a file which is unnecessary given that F110 already produces a file with the right format.

Hi Pablo,

You have understood correctly and when IDOC is generated actually it writes the file on particular path which you define in WE21. In the port setting basically you specify this, but I understand you need to take help from ABAP consultant too as these all are technical settings.

Hope this helps!!!

So, as far as I know I've got two options:

1. Create a variant for the program creating the file where we specify the folder location

2. Configure EDI to create IDoc and file?

Do you know of any standard documentation that I can follow?

HI guys,

I've finally find the solution to this. I've set the "Ouput to File System" checkbox in variant of program SAPFPAYM so the file is sent to the filesystem rather than just sitting in the DME Administration.

In order to create the proper filename I had to implement function module for event module 21 and modify variable c_filename.

Hi Pablo,

I have the same issue here. Can you explain further on how you implemented the event 21? I can see event 20, 25, 30, 40 but not 21??? Can you help to shade some lights on how to get around with the event 21 and how you change the variable. Thanks

Hi, you can see this event module under option "Adjust Payment Medium Format" but not in "Create Payment Medium Format" which will only show the standard ones.

Let me know if you still cannot find it.

Cheers,

Hi Pablo,

Thanks I managed to find and create it.

Can you remember what value you put for the C_FILENAME. What I wanted is to have a file extension with .ABA for the bank in Aust. The value I entered is '.aba' (in the default field) but the file generated (in the fille system) did not shown any file extension from this? Do you know if this is correct.

By reading what you say I don't really know what the cause of your problem might be, but whatever value you pass to the variable C_FILENAME will be used to generate the filename.

Double check whether you have ticked the checkbox to generate the file in the Operating System and you have set the right path in the program variant.

Pablo

Hi,

Our file gets generated successfully in the file server, but it is not encrypted. Please let me know how to encrypt the file while placing it in the file server after F110.
