Documentation

Definition

In payments, both SAPscript forms and PDF-based forms are supported.

Payment advice form

In the paying company code settings, you can define a SAPscript or a PDF-based default form for the payment advice note.

Payment medium form

In the case of the conventional payment medium programs (RFFO*) you can only define SAPscript forms in the settings for the company code payment method.

If the payment medium (such as a check) is created via the Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) then whether the output is made in SAPscript or is PDF-based is determined in the payment medium format. You can enter an appropriate form in the settings for the payment methods in the company code.

Alternative form

For the conventional payment medium programs (RFFO*) you can only define SAPscript forms as accompanying sheets for data media in the settings for the company code payment method.

For data media that were created using the PMW and that have an accompanying sheet, you can define a SAPscript or a PDF-based default form for the accompanying sheet in the settings for the payment method in the company code.
When you start the generic payment medium program SAPFPAYM you can override these default settings.

EDI accompanying sheet

In the paying company code settings, you can define a SAPscript or a PDF-based default form for the EDI accompanying sheet.
