Integration of SAP HCM Payroll with BCM (Bank Communications Management)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am implementing HCM Payroll that has to be integrated with BCM, which is SAP Bank Communications Management. Can someone tell me what setting we have to make in Personnel Administration and Payroll so that Payroll can generate a file through which payment can be transferred directly to employee accounts. Can someone also explain the process?

Regards and good day to all.

Hello,

I see that this is an old query; but I was recently looking answer for the same. Its 2020 and the answer is still hard to find 🙂 . So I am updating the solution I found.

Kindly refer SAP Note 1391319 - Batch Creation for HR Payroll

It is a simple integration.

In OBPM5 (FI AP/AR Button), you have a checkbox for "BRM" (Indicator: Call Bank Communication Management) along with identifier (character for reservation for cross-payment media)

If you click the HR-PY (Payroll) button (in OBPM5), you do have identifier but you donot have the BRM checkbox.

Due to this, in standard system, it is not possible to trigger BCM via Payroll.

So as per the note, you need to create a new program "ZBNK_OBPM5_HR" This program will reflect the reservations for cross media creation you created in "HR" in OBPM5 and give you an additional option of checkbox BRM (which is not present in OBPM5 standard), similar to how we get in FI AP/AR option in OBPM5.

Dear Nilesh,

This solution you are talking about is also to integrate Payroll payment calculated in a different system that S/4 Payment system?

I mean, we have an HR system (SuccessFactors) and FI system (S/4 Rise). The solution you are talking about should work in this situation?

Thanks a lot,

Best regards
