SAP Accounts Payable

SAP AP is a submodule of SAP FI and is used to manage and record Accounting data for all the vendors. It handles vendor invoices, vendor payments and related activities. SAP Accounts Payable will be covered in four post as below

  • SAP Accounts Payable Master Data
  • SAP Accounts Payable End users transactions
  • SAP Accounts Payable Global settings for manual and automatic vendor Payments
  • SAP Accounts Payable Configuration of Vendor Automatic Payment Program for ACH, Wire and Check payment 
  • Creation of Vendor electronic payment file using DMEE

Create Number ranges for Vendor Accounts

  • Number range can be internal / external
  • Number range decide vendor master number at the time of creation. If external number range, you have to provide vendor number at the time of vendor creation. If internal number range, system generate the vendor number at the time of vendor creation
  • Number range are assigned to Vendor Account Group

Define Vendor Account Groups in SAP

Vendors are classified into various account groups. The account group determines the following:

  • Number range interval of the vendor
  • Mandatory and Optional fields during vendor master creation in transactions code XK01
  • Whether a vendor is one time vendor

Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control in SAP

Transaction Code: S_ALR_87003179

IMG Path : SPRO – Financial Accounting – Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable – Vendor Accounts – Master Data – Preparation for creating vendor master data-Define Sensitive field for Dual Control (Vendors)

We can define certain fields in vendor master as sensitive fields. Any changes to these have to be confirmed by two users for the change to be effective. Further once a sensitive field is changed, vendor is blocked for payment. This block is removed when the change to sensitive field is confirmed by second user in transaction code FK08. If the change is rejected by second user in transaction code FK08, vendor remains blocked for payment till the time sensitive field is confirmed /rejected by the second user. Generally fields like Vendor Bank account number, routing number are defined as sensitive fields

Define sensitive fields

Transaction code to confirm the sensitive field changes : FK08 or FK09.

Vendor Master Fields under Company Code View

Specific to an individual company code, the company code data includes information

like the reconciliation account number, payment terms

  • Minority Indicator: Used for representing the size of the vendor’s business and for other reasons (example – small business or a minority group or a female leading a corporate). This is only used for USA.
  • Payment Method:
    • A         ACH Payment

Classification

There is often a Business need to classify the vendors for reporting & audit purposes. SAP provides standard Functionality in Vendor master to classify the Vendors according to Business needs.

Maintain Classifications

Vendor master classification

We can utilize SAP Class & Method Functions to configure Vendor Master Classification.

For example the vendor master needs to be classified as “Type of Vendor” the same can be achieved  in following three steps

1) Creation of Characteristics

Execute the Transaction CT04 & create characteristics as follows

vendor master classification

2) Creation of Class

Execute Transaction CL02

Create class Ven_Class and assign vendor characteristic Ven_Type to Ven_Class

Vendor master classification

3) Assign the Characteristics in Vendor Master  

Vendor master classification

This way characteristics can be defined and assigned to vendors

Delete Vendor Master

Transaction Code: OBR2

You cannot delete Vendor Master Record if transactions have been posted

Thus it is recommended to delete the records in Test environment during implementation

In case Vendor master is linked to another master record which could be a customer. First delete the referenced records. You can find referenced master records by running program SAPF047

For detailed, step-by-step instructions on SAP Finance, business process, configuration and development follow along with my video tutorial below. This course covers topics like Enterprise structure, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Bank Accounting, Electronic Bank statements, Dunning, New General Ledger etc.

Vendor Automatic Payment Program

Below is an overview SAP Payment Process when Payment made to vendors through Check

Vendor Payments business process

  • Invoice : Accounts Payable department receives vendor invoice. This is entered in SAP system (Transaction : FB60 / MIRO). Invoices becomes due for Payment on their due date. Invoices due date is calculated based on terms of payments in the invoice. If terms of payments is 15 days from Document date, than invoice becomes due for payment 15 days after it’s document date
  • Payment Method : Payment method in this case is Check
  • Positive Pay File : Positive pay file is a list of check numbers generated by SAP payment program. An electronic file is generated of these check numbers and sent to bank. This can be done through manual upload on bank website or through FTP, EDI or any other method.

SAP Payment Process – ACH/Wire

 

Vendor Payments business process

  • Payment Method : Payment method in this case is ACH or Wire
  • ACH : Stands for Automated Clearing House. It is form of Electronic payment in USA
  • Wire Transfer : It is a form of Electronic payment. Wire transfer results in fund transfer on the same day, whereas ACH may take 2-3 days for fund transfer. Wire transfer is more expensive than ACH.
  • Payment Process: Accounts department runs the payment program generally on fixed days (Every Tuesday / Thursday). Payment program picks the vendor open invoices which are due for payment on the payment run date. It than creates a Payment advice which can be sent electronically (Email) or through mail to the vendor. It also creates an ACH payment media file. File can be manually uploaded on bank website or electronically sent to the Bank (EDI, FTP…). Based on data in the file bank makes payment to the Vendors. Banks also sends and electronic confirmation (email) of the payment file receipt.

SAP Automatic Payment Program can handle both outgoing and incoming payments. It can make payments to vendors in a number of payment methods like check, ACH, Wire transfer etc. It can make both domestic and foreign payments. Payments can be made in company code currency or foreign currency. It makes payment for Vendor open Invoices based on their due dates. Below are the configuration steps involved in SAP automatic Payment program.

  • Format Tree : Z_JPMC – Select Flat File
  • Click Create

Create Payment Media File Layout

SAP DMEE Tree Properties

  • Format Attributes – Field Type : Flat file can be fixed space file or delimiter file. We will select delimiter file format. Here fields / value in file are separated by a delimiter. Delimiter could be a pipe | , comma, semicolon
  • Levels: The level of a node describes the position of the node in the file hierarchy. Levels must be assigned to all nodes that represent the hierarchy structure, for example segments and segment groups in flat files. Level 1 represents the top hierarchy level. It is assigned to a segment representing the header and Trailer record of a file. Header record has multiple segment/ segment groups assigned to it. These segment groups have vendor payment details.  We will assign level 2 to the Segment with Payment details
  • Repetition limit for a level in format tree :  Specify the maximum number up to which a segment can be repeated in the flat file. For Header we give 1, Payment details level 2 we give 9999
  • File data : Select Carriage return and Line feed. Carriage Return is used for creating new line in a flat file or PDF format and Line Feed is used for creating new line in XML format at the end of a Segment. A segment is a line in the txt file. When carriage return and line feed is selected, each segment start from the beginning in a new line

SAP Create Payment Media File using DMEE – Header

Create Payment Media File – Header

 

SAP Create Payment Media File – File Structure

 

Create Payment Media File – File Structure

  • File Structure: EFT file has mainly 3 components. Header, Payment records and Trailer. Segment Group : It is a group of segments and used for arranging segments
  • Segment : A segment represents a record in the target file. Each segment must have at least one element as a sub node.
  • Element : An element represents a field in the target file. For each element, you  specify with which value or from which source field this file field is  to be filled
  • Atom : Sub nodes of Elements. Used where multiple conditions are used to populate field values in an Element

SAP Create Payment Media File – Payment Records

  • We create a Segment as sub node of Header. This will be level 2. Thus as per DMEE properties we can add 9999 payment record for one Header record
  • To this we will add elements. Each of these elements is a Field / Appear as a value in the Payment File
  • Open the JPMC Functional Spec and start creating elements
  • Element Fields Description:
    • Name : Name of the Element node
    • Ref ID : uniquely identify the node in DMEE tree, if reference is to be made to this node from another node
    • Length : Maxi number of characters in the field
    • Character : Whether Character/ numeric / currency value in the field
    • Status : here we can specify whether the values in the field are mandatory or optional
    • Mapping Procedure:
    • Constant : Any value entered here is like hard coded. It appears in the payment file. Generally constant like segment identifier are entered here
    • Structure Field : Select this and than go to source tab. In the source tab specify the structure table and the field from which values will be populated in this field
