Release history for payment batches in BCM

[srija-13]

Hi SAP friends,

I have a query about the status and release history for the payment batches in bnk_moni in BCM process.

In our case, we have one reviewer(BNK_INI) and two approvers (BNK_COM). I have no issues or errors so far in the testing for payment files. It is getting accepted by bank.

1. My first query I have is I am able to see who has approved as a reviewer and final approver but I am unable to see who has done the first approval after the reviewer. That information has not been captured in the status history of the batch. I could not see any relevant configuration which needs to be done in the SPRO path for BCM.

Since the status changes from payment batch created to "In approval" after the reviewer approves it and once the final approver approves it, it changes from "In approval" to "Payment batch created". In the middle, there will not be any status change while the first approver approves it. It will remain "In approval", which is why I think this data is not captured in the status history of the batch.

I tried to open release history but nothing is coming when I click on it. The client needs to view the reviewer and two levels of approvers name for audit purpose. Also the final approver will need to know who approved before him.

Please let me know if I have missed to do any configuration. Can this be done in the standard way or will this need any Z program to be developed to fetch the data.

My second query is in bnk_app screen, there are few tabs apart from change & release and additional release steps.

There is "Processed batches" tab, "Dropped payments" tab and "Change log" tab. Could someone please throw some light on when these tabs comes into picture. What is the functionality of these tabs? I do not see any rejected or accepted batches under them.

I was not able to find these information and it would be great if someone can help me on this.

Thank you,

Srija
