Application Interface to Retrieve Payment Files (2YM)

This scope item provides a basic SOAP service to send outgoing payment files to the banks. This scope item does not provide direct bank communication. When the customer implements this API, they oversee the implementation project and are responsible to operate the service. The customer must run a customer-managed middle-ware to establish the connections, develop encryption mechanisms between the middle-ware and the bank on his own, and set up a third-party solution to monitor the payments.

For the inbound communication (for example, to receive bank statements), customers should use the Finance - Account Receivable Bank Statement Integration (SAP_COM_0316) communication scenario. This communication scenario is related to the Bank Integration with File Interface (1EG) scope item. This scope item will not be enhanced in future releases and is excluded from future developments. This scope item will not support additional message types such as payment status. Because of all the topics above, SAP highly recommends using SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity (16R), providing direct bank communication and an out-of-the-box service managed by SAP.
