Update of the 94 – ISO20022 Payment Format

The objective of this blog post is to give some background for the update/change of the 94 – ISO20022 payment format in SAP Business ByDesign 2102.

In the past we received feedback that customers were not able to combine/prioritize the usage of 23 – SEPA Credit Transfer and 2 – International bank transfers payments with the 94 – ISO20022 payment format. Due to this these customers were facing issues during their payment processes. We reviewed the configuration settings for this payment format. The result of our analysis was that 23 – SEPA Credit Transfer and 26 – SEPA Direct Debit payments do not need to be supported for the 94 – ISO20022 payment format. Therefore, we corrected the usage of the payment methods 23 – SEPA Credit Transfer and 26 – SEPA Direct Debit between the 94 – ISO20022 Payment Format and SEPA payment formats (74 – SEPA Credit Transfer, 76 – SEPA Direct Debit and 92 – SEPA Credit Transfer EPC) with release 2102.
