[Former Member]

Hello all,

Please can any one guide me how to use this functionality of external payment collectors. How do we create payment lots for those payments.

Charvi,

Guess you are talking about Incoming Payment file received from Collection Agency.

In that case you need to use FP03F to process the file.

Hope this helps

Hi Rajendra,

Thanks for your help. But my query is that what are the steps involved to record a payment which are collected by some external payment collectors. It seems that there is a prerequiste to do a transaction of FP03D. Please can you guide me step by step process.

Charvi,

You need to run FP03E, Select your item(s) and click Flag for collection order.

Then you can run your FP03D. You can write the file in the application server and can view it in AL11.

Hi Rajendra,

I guess what you are talking about the collectione agents who are there to collect arrear amounts. I am not talking about that. I am talking about norml payments which are collected by some outside agency like convenience store or post office. How do we record those payments and what are the transactions for it.

I was confused with your initial Question(s).

In that case, you need to use either FP05/FPCD/FPCJ/FP25 for manual postings or if need to automate Payments, you need to use FPB3 <Use FPB4> for any corrections.

But before that assuming that you are you need to place all the info in your payment file in the structure

RFKKZEDA/RFKKZEDG <create / modify>

Hope I'm clear and this helps.

Charvi,

~!@#$%^&*)(_+|><?:" :

What you have asked is whole FS with training material :(:(:(

As mentioned in my above post, you need to use RFKKZEDG/RFKKZEDA to create & modify the structures.

SAP has provided standard structures which you can use for mass programs.

Usually you'd get Payment info in a flat file from third parties like Banks, Collection agencies, Post offices etc. You need to place the info in the foresaid structures.

Program RFKKZEDG is used to create File.

Program RFKKZEDA is used to modify the file.

You have to use both.

Say if you get info like this <2 items>

A123456 400518 12345678 012250 230309

B123456 400518 12345679 013450 230309

Where A123456 is CA

400518 is Sort Code

12345678 is Account number

012250 is amount in Pence

230309 is date in ddmmyy format

Now you create a SAP file using RFKKZEDG via SE38.

Give file name as TEST

Press F8

Now you modify the sample file using RFKKZEDA via SE38

Give the above file name

Press F8

This contains the following structures

BFKKZGR00 File hdr

BFKKZK PaymtLotHeader

BFKKZP Payment item

BFKKZS Addit.sel.

BFKKZV Usage text

BFKKZK is header

Now place the info received into BFKKZP & BFKKZK structures.

Important BFKKZK fields are

BUKRS Company Code

BUDAT Posting Date

BLDAT Doc. date

VALUT Value date

AUGRD Clearing Reason

Important BFKKZP fields are

SELT1 Selection Category (G)

SELT2 Selection Category (K)

SELT3 Selection Category (B)

SELW1 Selection Value

SELW2 Selection Value A123456

BUDAT Posting Date 20090324 YYYYMMDD format

BLDAT Doc. date 20090324

VALUT Value date 20090324

XEIPH Line item

AUGRD Clearing Reason

Like wise you need to create another BFKKZP for another record in the sample file given above.

Now save and press Yes when prompted to save the file

Now go to FPB3.

Give an ID

Select Radio buttion 'Edit file ' and give TEST against Path

Select Post payment lot

Press F8.

If your structure is error free, all your 2 documents in the above sample file would be posted in SAP FICA as Payment lot documents

If there are any errors, correct them using FPB4 and go back to FPB3 & reprocess the file.

You need to write a Customized program to automate keeping the records in the flat file received from Bank to the above structures using RFKKZEDA/RFKKZEDG.

Hope this is clear and helps
