Note to Payee by origin will be assigned only when the format is given in the payment medium workbench. Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) What is the Payment Medium Workbench?
The PMW is used to create payment media. The user is presented with a generic payment medium program for all payment medium formats for which variants have to be defined in Customizing. The user can decide on the layout of the note to payee, and select differing notes to payee according to origin (vendors, customers, personnel, travel expenses, Treasury, online payments and so on). The developer, consultant and system administrator have simple tools for changing without modification formats delivered or for setting up new formats. This integrates the existing development tools (ABAP Dictionary, Function Builder, ...) and also the DME Engine that make the PMW into a workbench.

What are the advantages of the PMW?

The ability to adapt formats delivered to be customer or bank-specific easily and without modification, including separate selection parameters on the payment medium program. Simple tools for creating new formats (programming knowledge is not a requirement for using the DME Engine).

How do you activate the PMW?

A payment method becomes a PMW payment method in only four steps: 1. First the payment medium format is assigned to the payment method once you have established that you want to use the PMW. You may also need to add a format supplement. 2. A note to payee is then assigned to the payment method for each origin. You can use the examples supplied by SAP for this, for example note to payee SAMPLE 02 for FI-AP and FI-AR, and SAMPLE 00 for all others (leave origin empty). 3. In the payment method per company code you define the form delivered by SAP for the accompanying sheet (under additional form). 4. Finally, you have to create and assign selection variants.
