In this activity you make the settings that control the payment program. You determine:

  • Which company codes are included in payment transactions and which company codes make payments.

  • Which payment methods can be used.

    The payment method specifies the procedure (for example check, bank transfer or bill of exchange) to be used when payments are made. For the payment method, you make specifications that are either dependent on the country or on the paying company code.

  • Whether you want to use payment method supplements.

    You can group payments using payment method supplements (mailstop codes) and therefore, for example, control the sending of checks.

  • From which bank accounts payment is made.

    The payment program can select the bank account according to defined rules or you can specify from which account a payment is to be made.

  • With which form payment is made.

    The forms are to be defined in the system using SAPscript. For every paying company code, you specify, which form is used per payment method.

Note

You can also make down payments with the payment program and pay with bills of exchange. For more information on these special features, see the FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable documentation.

Requirements

You have created your house banks in the Define house banks activity.

Activities

  1. Find out which forms are used for payment transactions in your company.
    1. Check whether the forms you use are defined in the system.
    2. Change the predefined forms if necessary, or create new forms.
  2. Find out which company codes pay and which company codes participate in payment transactions.
  3. Enter the paying company codes. To do this, select the Company codes -> Paying function. To enter all other company codes, select Company codes -> All.
  4. Find out which payment methods are generally used in your company and which payment methods are used in the individual paying company codes.

    When defining a payment method, enter keys which must have been defined previously. These include:

    • The document type for posting the payment
    • The special G/L indicator for posting a bill of exchange
    • The forms for printing the payment media, the payment advice notes and the check/bill of exchange

  1. Check whether the payment methods your company needs are defined in the system. To do this, select Payment methods -> In country.
  2. For each paying company code, specify the payment methods which are used. To do this, select Payment methods -> In company code.

  1. For each paying company code, enter the bank accounts that will carry out the payment transaction.
    1. First enter the banks and their order of ranking for payment.
    2. Then enter the amounts available for payment for each bank account.
    3. Finally enter the bank sub-accounts, to which the payment program should make the payments in the system.
  2. Make sure that the payment methods to be used to pay the open items of a customer/vendor are entered in the customer and vendor master records.
  3. If you want to use payment method supplements, switch on the corresponding attribute. To do this, select Company codes -> All and afterwards the required company code. Select the Paymt meth. suppl. attribute.

    If you want to display the Payment method supplement field in the line item display for customers or vendors, you can define corresponding display variants. The same is true for displaying payments and the paid items when displaying payment proposals. To do all this, select the following steps:

    1. Define line layout
    2. Make settings for displaying payments
    3. Make settings for displaying line items.
  4. To determine the ranking order of the banks, select Banks -> Bank selection. The system displays a list of all company codes for which payment methods were defined. Position the cursor on the company code for which you want to make your specifications and select Goto -> Ranking order.
  5. To plan the amounts, select Banks -> Available amounts.
  6. To define the account determination, select Banks -> Bank selection and then Goto -> Acct determination.
  7. To allocate postal code areas to your house banks, select Banks -> Bank selection and then the company code for which you want to make specifications. Here you should select Goto -> Bank selection Pcode.
  8. To define charges for bill of exchange payments, select Banks -> Bank selection and then the company code for which you want to make specifications. Then you select Goto -> Charges/bank fees.
  9. To define the value dates, select Banks -> Bank selection and then the company code for which you want to make specifications. Then select Goto -> Value date.
  10. Order the required forms.

    If you want to issue payment forms in different currencies, you should print the currency key using the print program. The forms should then not contain a currency key.

Further notes

You can find detailed information on configuring the payment program in the FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable documentation in the section on payments.

Further notes

You can also make down payments with the payment program and pay with bills of exchange. For more information on these special features, see the FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable documentation.
