Hello,

first of all what do you mean by SAP banking product. I assume you want to integrate some banking system with SAP and want to know about supported standards. If so I can tell you about standard used in bank statements upload. You can upload (depending on the customizing):

- BAI format

- CSB43

- DTAUS

- ETEBAC

- TITO

- SWIFT MT940

- Multicash

- Cobranca/Pagar.

Regarding interfaces to SAP it's a huge subject. You can connect to SAP using EDI, RFC, .NET or Java Connectors etc. For the information go to help.sap.com/connectors

Hello,

If you'd like SAP to be a backend system and track all the messages being exchanged with it you should use EDI. This is an official standard that SAP supports. The problem is that SAP does not offer a mechanism for sending information outside it other then EDI (unless you create, write your own one). There's no problem in communication with SAP from outside, but the problem is other way round.

If you would use EDI SAP has several certified vendors which software is supported. In that case in SAP IDOC (Interchange document) is created and using it you can create data in R/3. Also sending data from SAP is done using IDOCs which are then converted to EDI standards by third party software.

If you would choose this solution you are able to track messages exchanged between systems. Please keep in mind that SAP does not give you EDI system. It only supports IDOCs and EDI system that is integrated with SAP has to be bought separately.
