The Data Medium Exchange (DME) Engine enables you to define file formats that meet the requirements of your financial institution. By doing so, you model an externally defined bank format in the R/3 System, which allows you to send or receive data in the form of DME files in this format. The ability to define these formats in the R/3 System is particularly important as there is no worldwide or regional standard format. In some cases, no country standard exists and the file must comply with bankspecific standards. Covering such numerous and varied local format requirements is very difficult in standard software, but the DME Engine now enables you to define your particular local format yourself without any ABAP programming knowledge or coding. With this Customizing tool, in the form of a graphical editor, you can define new formats flexibly and, as format requirements change, modify existing ones efficiently.
Integration
Once you have modeled an external file format as a format tree in the DME Engine, calling applications can use it to: Generate an outgoing DME file Convert an incoming DME file to a format that the R/3 System can process
Features
The system comes complete with predefined format trees, which represent the file format requirements in a number of countries. You can also transport format trees to other systems, or alternatively upload and download as XML files. From SDN
ABAP programs. T-Code for DME files is: DMEE Main components of DME File are: -
There are some standard DME file formats, which can be changed as per country or bank requirements. A complete new DME format can also be created if requirement is different from preexisting formats. Step by Step procedure to create DME file format: 1) 2) 3) 4) go to t-code DMEE. Provide tree type from available ones. DME files can be generated in flat files or XML format. Provide short description and documentation DME tree can be divided into three components as shown below.
5) There are some fields which are available for DME file as shown below. 5a) Note to payee data 5b) System Fields like Date and Time DME tree Nodes creation procedure: Header Data: Following header information needs to be maintained in various tabs under header data:
These elements can be of various types as shown in mapping procedures. 1) Constant: This type of element is used to contain constant value like 'DME' which is assigned in source tab as shown below: 5) This node contains structure types which can have system fields like date, time
In source tab maintain the system field After header segment, Data segment is created as shown below. Data Node contains a new element which is of segment type. 6) Element can also have the results of function module as shown below.
Mapping Procedure should be of Type Exit Module Specify the FM name in source tab as shown below. Create a footer segment for footer data of the file which again contain any no. of elements as shown below. 3. Configuration of DME File After creation of DME file, next step is to configure the DME file for automatic payment run which requires below steps: 1) 2) Go to T-code FBZP and select 'pmnt methods in country' Here different payment methods can be defined for country as shown below:-
3) Now select specific payment method and double click on the same. Following screen will be displayed. In payment medium workbench, DME tree can be assigned in Format column as shown below: 4) Click on Format settings. 5) Click on DME Engine, DME tree will be displayed. Now DME tree format is being attached for a particular country and a particular payment method. To generate the DME file, you have to run the automatic payment program with this payment method. After the payments have been successfully posted, you can go to DME administration and with the help of DME manager download files on your PC. DME can be attached to a print program and form for the creation of Payment Advices. Whenever there is an automatic payment run for the country for a specific payment method. Conclusion: DME engine provides different layouts and readymade way to create flat files or XML files for external systems. It provides speed and flexibility over conventional ABAP programs. Files can be modified based on country and regulations. The system can trigger the creation of a DME file from the payment program if, for example, you want to submit your vendor payments to your bank electronically. For this tree type, you use the PMW) to configure payment media.
