SAP IDOC Configuration

Universal Online Banker EFD supports the uploading and transmittal of SAP IDocs. To enable this functionality, transaction methods must first be configured for the various transaction types contained in the IDocs. This is accomplished from the SAP IDOC Configuration page.

After defining the parameters for a method, the Save button saves the settings and adds the method to the list in the Configured Transaction Methods section, which includes all configured methods.

This table describes the parameters that configure each transaction method in the Create SAP IDOC Transaction Methods section and also function as column headers in the Configured Transaction Methods section.

Option/Parameter Description
Transaction Type A list of transaction types, including standard and country-specific types
Payment Method The client SAP payment method

The standard for ACH is A, although it can be set to any character.

Extended Payment Method Optional additional method of qualifying the type of transaction.

For example, for Payment Method A (ACH), you might have GBP as the Extended Payment Method to indicate a United Kingdom ACH payment.

Item Posting Type Specifies how offset transactions are posted

Options are as follows:

  • "All Transactions in this file report back as one consolidated item on my statement" (consolidated)

"All Transactions in this file report back as individual items on my statement" (itemized)

Charges Indicates which party to the wire is responsible for paying any related fees

Options are as follows:

  • Shared – The fees are shared between the originator and the receiver. Normally, the originating bank charges the sender a fee, and the rest of the fees are charged to the wire recipient.
  • Ours – The originator of the wire pays all fees. Banks that process the wire send their fees back to the originating bank for payment rather than deducting from the amount of the wire.
  • Recipient – The receiver of the wire pays all related fees. Each bank that processes the wire deducts their fee from the principal amount of the wire before passing to the next bank
Transaction Priority Indicates the priority of the transaction request

Options are as follows:

  • Normal (default)
  • Urgent
  • Quick Pay
Country Code(s) The two-character country codes of the countries to which the rules will apply

You can specify one or more codes. When specifying multiple countries, separate the codes with a space; for example, NL BE GB.

BELNR Qualifier Qualifier to identify when the DP02 BELNR is used

If not specified, the information in DP02 BELNR is mapped to the outbound file and only standard remittance information will flow.

Preferred Bank ID The bank ID that should be used regardless of the inbound data.
Options
Ignore Bank ID Indicates that the Bank ID should be ignored in cases where the Bank ID is included in the Sort Code field and also in the Account Number field

In such cases, the account number is used instead of the sort code/bank ID.

Prefix Bank ID Indicates that the bank ID/sort code should be used as a prefix, placing it in front of the account number
Prefix Reference Number A prefix that produces unique transaction numbers
Note: You can prefix the BELNR with the company code; however, the downstream system will not strip out the company code and thus it will map all the way through.
