Documentation

Use

You use the payment medium format to control how the payment order is to be carried out. A distinction is made between document-based payment media (such as checks) and non-document-based payment media (DME or EDI). There are also country-specific and international formats.

Dependencies

You define which format is used for a payment order for each payment method and house bank. The specification for the house bank has a higher priority.

Note

Formats which are not supported in the SAP standard system can be included by specifying event function modules. The following naming conventions should be kept to as regards the internal format name so as to prevent the objects from being overwritten:

SAP standard Format name

Customer enhancement /customer/format name
