In SAP we are simplifying your communication with banks using SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud by bringing you solutions regarding Payment Formats. It is my pleasure to introduce you to the new Payment Formats Blog. In this blog, We will be posting articles about the functionality of payment formats and tools associated with them. I’d like to be introducing newly delivered formats as well as enhancements and improvements of the tools used for their creations and modifications. This blog is not a replacement for the documentation, it is more like its extension. Articles will be about new functionality, which we think may be interesting and could help you with your communication with banks. I will post new articles on a regular basis, so you can always look forward to new content. The blog focuses on describing the work of teams developing new payment formats (outgoing and incoming) for S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud for tools DMEE, DMEEX, and Fiori Map Format Data for Payments.
