Hi Neha,

Sorry for replying so late

1. When you create a DME tree in DMEE, you have the option to assign structure fields, function modules, constants etc. To get the data from the vendor master, you can use structure field option to get the details from the vendor master. if there are more than 1 option in the masters, you might have to write a function module and assign it to the node.

2. Email also is available in the structure referred by the DME. You can add that in the node as per the bank format.

3. We need to create a Folder in the SAP directory (accessed using transaction code AL11). The details need to be given to the basis team and they will create it in the directory. You will have to additionally write a small function module and assign it as an event module to your DME tree using transaction OBPM3.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Neha,

For GIRO payments, you will have to create payment methods with PMW. The file format has to be given by your bank (each bank has its own format) and accordingly you will have to create it in SAP. The transaction code to create the format is DMEE and the tree type to be used is PAYM.

For storing the information in the directory, an event module can be used to define the path where the deails are to be stored.

Go through the following link for creating the format tree -

Suggest you to first get the format from the bank and try to create the format tree in the transaction code DMEE and then post more specific queries. It will be easier to guide.

All the best.

Thanks and Regards,
