DMEE Configuration:Step By Step.

Hi All,

This is my First Document in the Forum and hope this will be helpful for all.

I have searched in Forum but I did not get any Document on DMEE where Step By Step Configuration is
Given.

Any Suggestion and Critics are always Welcome as this will help me to improve.

Introduction:
DME stands for Data Medium Exchange
A data medium exchange (DME) is a data exchange file which is used to send payment information of an
enterprise to banks or tax authority. Basically these files contain financial data which can be in flat file or
xml file format. Different File formats can be created for different countries and different banks based on
their own norm which replaces conventional ABAP programs.

DMEE Configuration:Step By Step.

Create Payment Medium Formats (OBPM1) Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Business
Transactions Outgoing Payments Automatic Outgoing Payments Payment Media Make
Settings for Payment Medium Formats from Payment Medium Workbench Create Payment
Medium Formats

Select New Entries

Format : Z_IDES

Description : Z_IDES

Payment medium without docs. : Select

Type : 01 File

Country : IN

Mapping using DME engine : Select

Company Code : Select

House Bank : Select

Save!
Create a new format with the same name as your DMEE format tree. Choose the format
outputPayment medium without docs., and type File. Under Program control, set the Mapping using
DME engine indicator. Once this indicator is set, the DME engine button appears, which allows you to
access the DMEE format tree directly.
Under Format information, specify your country. You can also write documentation for your PMW
format by choosing the field help for the Documentation module field. From there, choose Proceed,
and a document maintenance screen appears. Select document class General text, enter a name for
the text, and create the documentation. Lastly, enter the name of this text in the PMW format in
theDocumentation module field.

DME Engine: Initial Screen (DMEE):

Select Active Version and press Copy.
Click on Change.

Click on DMEE tree:Properties

Here you need to give the format attributes for your DMEE output File.

Please see the screen shot Below.

In the Field type you have two options 1 or 2

I have taken 1,Fields are separated by Delimiter.

In Delimiter Section I have taken | but you can use comma,semi colon or anything.

Delimiter separates the items in DMEE file by the input provided by you.

After this click on Sort/Key Fields.

Sort key Fileds controls the output of line in DMEE.It actually controls the levels of DMEE.

Please see the Screen Shot below.

Header data should appear only once, so a value like the payment run identifier (FPAYH-LAUFD) is the
same for the entire payment run and file created. Next level is usually the single payment (FPAYH-
LFDNR), so the DMEE creates a new line for every payment. Alternatively and based on the requirements,
this could be done also per vendor. Lowest level is usually the invoice references, as you can group several
vendor invoices in a single payment.

After This Goto File Data where you need to tick on Carriage return and Line Feed.

The tick on Carriage return and Line feed is for creatin new line after the finish of Header Part.

Carriage Return is used for creating new line in word or PDF formart and Line Feed is used for creating
new line in XML format.

Please refer Screen Shot Given Below.

In Header Part you need to define the Level and the type of output you want..

Screen shot is attached for the same.

The tick on Carriage return and Line feed is for creatin new line after the finish of Header Part.

Carriage Return is used for creating new line in word or PDF formart and Line Feed is used for creating
new line in txt Format.

Add the fields to Header and Details as per the requirement and then save.
Now will show step by step for every Header and payment Details configured here.

A. P.S:Requirement may vary according to Client and Bank.

In Header Part I have made it Constant which you need to choose in Attributes tab of DMEE.

Give name(as I have given Header),Give Length and choose character as shown in Screen Shot Below.

Go to Source Tab and write what you want to get in the output as shown in screen shot below.
The Next is Corporate ID,This is nothing but the paying Co code.

Give Name,Length and Type.

Please select Structure Field(I have taken Structure Field because it can be fetched from the Tables and
Field,Some data are there which you can fetch from tables so either you have to make it constant or you
have to use Exit Module).

Click on Source Tab.

You will find Field name,You can choose Field name according to your requirement.

Here I have taken FPAYH-ZBUKR as shown in screen shot below.

Now We will configure the payment details.

As I have copied the standard structure where Segment group and Elements were already there but you can
definitely create segment group,segment and elements according to the requirement.

In my Configuration the first is payment type(Means the payment is NEFT or RTGS)

For this you can not use constant or structure field,here you need to use Exit Module and you need the help
of ABAPER to write a logic(The logic here is that if the amount is less than or equal to rs 200000 then
NEFT else RTGS).

Now click on the Source Tab and one need to provide structure and Field name(though we are using Exit
Module but we need to provide Structure and Field name so that the data can be populated in the Structure
and field given and system populates the data in DMEE file through this Structure and Field)
I have Used FPAYH-FORMZ,.

Please refer the screen shot Below.

The Exit Function ZDMEE_EXIT_TEMPLATE_ABA is done by ABAPER and you need to assign this
Exit Function as shown in Screen Shot Above.

I am giving the code as well which is done by ABAPER and it works according to NODE ID.

The Coding is as follows:

CASE i_extensionnodenode_id.
WHEN N_8559886880 .
IF l_itemfpaypdmbtr LT 200000.
l_itemfpayhformz = NEFT.
o_value = l_itemfpayhformz.
c_value = l_itemfpayhformz.
ELSE.
l_itemfpayhformz = RTGS.
o_value = l_itemfpayhformz.
c_value = l_itemfpayhformz.
ENDIF.
Now click on Payee IFSC Code and Configure as given in the screen shot below.
PS:Please maintain the IFSC code of Payee bank in Control Data Tab in SWIFT column in House bank .
Click on Payee Bank Number and Configure According to Screen Shot.
Click on Receivers IFSC Code and configure as shown in Screen Shot Below.
I have used Exit Module here as well and the coding is as follows:
WHEN N_9336226660 . ifsc code
CLEAR: l_lifnr,l_bkref.
l_lifnr = l_itemfpaypgpa2r.
SELECT SINGLE bkref FROM lfbk INTO l_bkref WHERE lifnr = l_lifnr.
l_itemfpayhbkref = l_bkref . L_ITEM-FPAYH-EIKTO. L_BKREF.
o_value = l_itemfpayhbkref.
c_value = l_itemfpayhbkref.
Now in Vendor Master Data You need to maintain IFSC code in Reference Details Field as shown in
Screen Shot Below.
Now Click on Beneficiary Account No and configure as shown in Screen Shot Below.
Here also I have used Exit Module and the Coding is as follows:
WHEN N_3908411670. account no
CLEAR: l_lifnr,l_bankn.
l_lifnr = l_itemfpaypgpa2r.
SELECT SINGLE bankn FROM lfbk INTO l_bankn WHERE lifnr = l_lifnr . L_ITEM-
FPAYH-EIKTO.
l_itemfpayhzbnkn = l_bankn.
o_value = l_itemfpayhzbnkn.
c_value = l_itemfpayhzbnkn.
Maintain bank account in vendor master in Bank account Column as Shown in Screen Shot Below.
Now Click on Transaction Currency and configure as shown below.
Now Click on Amount and configure as Shown in Screen Shot.
Click on Name of Payee(Vendor) and configure as shown in Screen Shot Below.
Click on Vendor Email Id and Configure as shown in Screen Shot Below.
Here also I have used Exit Module.
Coding is as follows:
WHEN N_9785488450. Vendor Email ID
CLEAR: l_lifnr,l_adrnr,l_emailid.
l_lifnr = l_itemfpaypgpa2r.
SELECT SINGLE adrnr FROM lfa1 INTO l_adrnr WHERE lifnr = l_lifnr .
IF sysubrc IS INITIAL.
SELECT SINGLE smtp_addr FROM adr6 INTO l_emailid WHERE ADDRNUMBER = l_adrnr.
ENDIF.
l_itemfpayhINTAD = l_emailid.
o_value = l_itemfpayhINTAD.
c_value = l_itemfpayhINTAD.
WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
Click on User Mobile No(Vendor) and Configure as shown in Screen Shot.
 Settings in Bank Customization (FBZP):
a) Payment Methods in Country: Create Pymt. Method E for country IN. Define the Currency.
In Payment Medium,Put Z_IDES in Format Column.

b) Bank Determination: For Paying Company Code 1000, select Ranking Order.
Create New Entries for E
c) Bank Accounts
 Create Bank Account for 1000.

Due to limitations of screenshots (Up to 20 in one Document) rest of the Configuration is in

Eugene, thank you for sharing this! I had to implement DMEE few years ago and all the posts I
found were just oh, its very easy!. It actually is pretty easy, but only after youve done all the
steps. When I was starting, I had no clue what I was getting into (oh, and figuring out that DME
name has to be the same took me at least few hours, it is not intuitive at all). Actually I thought
about posting a similar document, but glad you beat me to it because its a lot of work!

Just a couple of improvements Id suggest:

Make sure to spell check the text and use the correct capitalization (screenshot is one word
usually written in lower case). Take a look at this document as an example of good professional
formatting on SCN.
It would be great if you could reduce the screenshots to show only the relevant part instead of
the whole screen. Especially the first ones are very difficult to see clearly. You could use either
Paint or Snagit for that. But I understand that fixing images in a blog is major pain on
SCN.

One additional comment for the user functions SAP provides a template FM
DMEE_EXIT_TEMPLATE_ABA that needs to be copied because it has all the right parameters in
it. There is also documentation available for that function.

Thanks again, great job!

Dear Ranu,

Great Document, this consolidates all the steps.

I have one query:
In case of Beneficiary Account number we FPAYH-ZBNKN,why do we need to provide the exit
module ?
If there is a field in the structure FPAYH or FPAYHX or FPAYP then why do we need to create a exit
program for the same.
 As per my basic understanding these structure get field from the REGUH or REGUP table at the
time of execution of F110.

Can you please explain the usage of Exit module with the example of FPAYH-ZBNKN (where exit
is used) and ZPAYH-ZNMEI where only structure is used.

Regards,
Sapan Agarwal

1. Ranu Eugene Post authorJuly 21, 2015 at 5:15 am

Hi Sapan,

You are right that structures get the field from REGUH or REGUP.
I did try with structure FPAYH-ZBNKN and I was getting the value as well but it was payee bank account
number,I tried it many times but of no use.After further analysis i found that FPAYH-ZBNKN and FPAYHX-
UBKNT both are fetching the data from house bank which is payee bank account number,this is the reason why I
have used exit module.

Exit modules is used in DMEE to populate the data in DMEE file which are not present in
standard structure and field in DMEE like I have done in FPAYH-ZBNKN(Beneficiary account
number) and FPAYH-FORMZ for payment type(means whether the payment is NEFT or RTGS) and
structures are used where you can directly populate the data in DMEE file by only giving Structure
and Field in you DMEE structure.

Hope this makes things clear.

Regards
Eugene

Hi Ranu Eugene,

My requirement is to have a custom bank format for bank direct debits. I have gone through
help.sap.com and they are proposing two option to achieve this. One through DMEE set up and
other through exits. But I am not getting how to code in exits EXIT_RFFOEXIT_100,
EXIT_RFFOEXIT_101. If you have any sample to share it would be great.

Hi Eugene,

Congratulations, this document is so helpful.

We are using DMEE trees to generate an XML file and we are facing an issue with one tag that
contains 3 fields separated by blank spaces, for example:

<MyTag>field1 field2 field3 </MyTag>

We have read several OSS notes about this and tried different solutions but still the file will be
written deleting every space in between fields. We have even tried setting the tag as a constant
but still it appears without blanks in the file. The only workaround we have found so far is to use
non breakable spaces (ascii 255) which maintain the fields correctly separated but, as they are
not blanks, the file is not successfully read.

Have you found any trouble with blank spaces?

Thanks and best regards.

Thanks for this document.

In my project , I am using a Z FM to update the field in XML. This same field need to be
suppressed for certain country and to be displayed as per FM logic for some country.
I tried using Condition and Status=2 for the field but output is always as per the FM logic.
Any suggestion on how to achieve, DO I need to build the suppression logic in the FM? in that
case will the FM be able to control the output based on status set to 2 through code logic in FM?
Please advise. Any other suggestion on how to suppress blank fields as some banks reject the
xml even if the field is blank

Hello Ranu,

very good documentation. Do you know if it is possible to create a tree without Header line, but
with a Trailer at the end? I need to count line items and amounts but it should only occur once at
the end. Level 1 should be only the Trailer record.
Thanks and best regards,
