SEPA Direct Debits (DD)

[narendra_bhat2]

Hi all

My company wants to activate SEPA DD for their transactions within European Union. We have FI-AR implemented along with the usual modules like SD, MM, FI, CO, PP. We have activated SEPA credit transfers for vendor payments & are already live on that one. Coming to SEPA DD, I have created a new payment method for SEPA DD & want to configure mandate management for AR only. I checked out the SAP notes and have found that almost all refer to Contract Account Receivables. I want to know if it is necessary to activate FI-CA for only SEPA DD? We do not have FI-CA implemented but only FI-AR & we would like to go ahead with SEPA DD on FI-AR only. Also, can someone help me out with the config steps for SEPA DD for FI-AR including mandate management. We will be using F110 for collecting payments & link mandates to F110.

Thanks in advance

In order to use the SEPA DD, You need to create a new payment method for the SEPA Direct Debits, and assign the DMEE format in the PMW of the payment method.

You also have to use t-codes OBPM1 to OBPM4 for other configuration related to the DD.

Finally you need to maintain the SEPA mandates for the customers.
