House banks function as the primary financial institutions handling all payment transactions for companies. In the SAP system, each house bank within a company code is identified by a unique bank ID. This designation is utilized for various financial processes, including the payment program, check deposits, the automatic payment program (APP), and bank reconciliation.
To generate a payment remittance, two distinct partner profile entries are necessary:
- REMADV: Automatically generated through the Interface Setup program under partner type LS. This entry is essential for transmitting payment remittance details to vendors on the SAP Business Network.
- PAYEXT: Manually created by users via transaction code WE20 under partner type B. This profile is required for sending payment instructions to the bank for vendor payments.
Maintaining partner profile entries for both types of IDocs is a mandatory, standard SAP configuration. The Interface Setup program will automatically establish partner profile entries for REMADV IDoc under the partner function of type LS (Logical System). On the other hand, users must manually create partner profile entries for house banks under the partner function of type B (Bank).
Note
If the intention is to electronically transmit payment instructions to the bank using the PAYEXT IDoc, specific configurations must be in place, including house banks, dedicated RFC Destinations to link with the house banks, separate Port Definitions, and more.
