Documentation
Definition
Indicates which pair of XML request and response messages is sent to and received from the bank within this bank communication.
Use
The number of request and response XML messages that your SAP ERP system has to process for this type of bank communication depends on your implementation of the technical requirements from your bank. Your SAP ERP system processes one or a series of XML request and response messages to communicate with the bank communication client. The system displays the number of the request-response pair in this field.
Dependencies
You have entered the necessary steps for multistep bank communications in the Define Bank Communication Steps Customizing activity.
Example
Bank A requires that you send two XML messages to its bank communication client to request some information within a bank communication. This means the bank communication comprises two steps, that is, two XML request and response message pairs. The log for such a communication displays the following information on the Check Status of Bank Communication screen in the Electronic Payment Integration (China) solution:
- The first XML request message sends the data to a special communication port so that the data can be digitally signed. Your system displays '1' in the Step field and 'Outgoing' in the Direction of Bank Communication field.
- This first request is answered by a response message that includes the digitally signed data. Your system displays '1' in the Step field and 'Incoming' in the Direction of Bank Communication field.
- The second XML request message sends the digitally signed data and extra header information to the bank's communication client. The communication client then sends this data to the bank for processing. Your system displays '2' in the Step field and 'Outgoing' in the Direction of Bank Communication field.
- The second request message is answered by a response that indicates if and how the data was processed by the bank. Your system displays '2' in the Step field and 'Incoming' in the Direction of Bank Communication field.
