Control totals

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Experts,

Is is possible to send email to bank with control total amounts with (or seperate) our EDI 820 file of payment run. How can we make it possible, will it be manual or automatic procedure.

Please advise,

Thanks & Regards,

Paul,

You can send mails only to mail servers with in your organisation. But I think this is not true in your case.

Also it is not possible to access external mail servers from inside SAP network. The SAP firewall does not allow this.

hey

i have never worked with EDI 820 so dont know much about it but as far as sending mails is concerned,you can definitely do that.

now it depends what mail u want to send,do u wnat to send some error/alerts or u want to send the payload as attachments.

for simple payloads to bank,u can add a receiver CC,receiver agreement, to ur existing scenario.

thanx

Hi Ahmad,

Thanks for replying. See first we are sending EDI 820 for check payments. consider we are sending data for 150 checks to be printed by the bank.

Check One is for $4000, second for 5500, third for 3500........

After that the total for all the checks is $100350.00

Now we want to send this total to the bank to tele with all the checks total they are printing. Does it make sense.

How can we add receiver CC or whatever solution you are saying.

Paul,

One more option is whenever you are creating the mapping you also create another mapping which takes only the total record. Then you use the file receiver communicaiton channel and do the FTP.

So your are sending file for the total record. Let them pick up the file.

Hey

see u have to create two mapping for ur scenario.the first one is the usual mapping u have for EDI(guess this must be inbuilt if ur using seeburger)

then create second mapping which will have only one files <Total>

now create a interface mapping for this too.

now if bank is outside ur landscape then u can't use Mail adapter,u have to use either FTP or HTTP,or SOAP etc.(u have to ask the bank in this regard as to what will be most suited for them,suppose the choose HTTP)

now create a receive CC using HTTP adapter and configure it so that its pointing to the bank's URL.

now create a receiver agreement for this too,in receiver determination,u will have two entries,one for the normal EDI using the EDI mapping and the second for the Total filed using the mapping u created in IR.

u need to create interface mapping for this too.

activate ur scenario and it will work.but before that as i said,u need to consult with bank as to in what format they want the total to be delivered.

thanx

Hi Satish and Ahmad,

We are planning to create EDI 820 file data with our own program. So Ahmad we are not using any seeburger. Do you mean that seeburger is able to send the emails also.

Yes we can use HTTP. So how to do the configurations in SAP to use this for sending the emails to Bank (outside).

Does anyone have an experience of <u>sending the control total to the bank</u>. And what format and how other companies do for that through email (or any other option).

Paul,

So you read that file with file sender communication channel and make the total in your mapping and then send the file to the bank with File receiver communication channel. If you want to use HTTP then send them using the HTTP receiver adapter.

Also HTTP is not for sending emails.

Hey

>>Do you mean that seeburger is able to send the emails also.

no seeburger is not used to send mails.

>>Yes we can use HTTP.

then this sloves ur problem,u can send the total to bank inthe form of an XML over HTTP,u just need to configure one more receiver HTTP CC etc as i said in my previous post.

using HTTP u cant send XML as mail and since the receiver is outside ur landscape u cant even use mail adapter so u can use HTTP adapter and send an XML document to them

thanx

Ahmad,

One more doubt.

Is it possible for the system to generate an automatic email with the control totals of the payment made, and send to the bank.

Or it will be done manually.

Hey

first of all if ur using HTTP den it wont be an e-mail,it will be an XML payload going to the client over HTTP.

secondly it depends upon ur source structure,if ur source itself has a total filed,then u can do a simple 1-1 mapping with <total> and send this(it will be automatic)

if ur source does not contain total fileds,then u need to use the SUM function in graphical mapping and map this to <total>(it is also automatic)

the scenario will automatic,thing is what is the structure of ur source and based upon that u need to do proper mappin

thanx

Paul,

It will be automatic. It depends on how you configure your file adapter. If your polling interval is 60seconds then for every minute it invokes.
