16.9.11

SAP Note 27589 - RFFOD__U - Change note to payee debit memo

Symptom:

The note to payee in field C16 of the German data medium exchange (format DTAUS0) has been changed for debit memos in Release 2.2:

up to Release 2.1 : Account number of the orderer
as of Release 2.2 : Payment document number and invoice number

Cause and prerequisites

The change consists of the following description of field C16 in DTAUS0 format (you can get the record description from the house bank).
Quote:

"...
C16 Note to payee: Please make entries as short as possible.*)
...
*) Such entries are to be made left-justified at the start of this field which may be intended to identify the beneficiary for transfers (for example savings account number, insurance policy number, invoice number) or which the payee may require as a debit memo in case the payment is unpaid or returned."

Conclusion:
For bank transfers, the account number (of the sender for the receiver or - if this is not maintained in the master record - of the receiver at the sender) is entered.
For debit memos, the payment document number is entered as of Release 2.2 since this clearly identifies a returned memo .

The information on the original ship-to party is set in the first note to payee of the variable part (fields C19/C20) for alternative persons liable for payment, so that this information must suffice to identify the initiator of the entry.

Solution
The standard program strictly follows the data record description specified by the banks and quoted above. A change is therefore not supported.

As of Release 3.0, a user exit will be available for field C16. Until then, it is of course left up to you to recreate the 2.1 status of the program using modifications.
Bear in mind that you must release the modification as a repair and that it might have to be maintained again after updates. If the repair should not be released, inconsistencies can occur in the program after an update and lead to errors in data medium exchange for which SAP is not accountable.
