OVERVIEW
Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) is a tool provided by SAP used to configure and
create documents that will be sent to the company's house banks informing the
transactions that need to be done to an account in such bank.
It works along with automatic payments and provides a better control of payments,
since personalized documents can be set specifically for each company and house
bank combination or as detailed as the user needs it.
This tool is expected to gradually replace the classic payment medium programs.

COURSE MATERIALS
1. PAYMENT MEDIUM WORKBENCH CONFIGURATION
Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) is a tool in SAP that allows the company to make
n
automatic payments to customers and vendors directly to their house banks. The user
can customize layouts and formats according to the requirements of the company's
house banks.
1.1. CONFIGURE PAYMENT MEDIUM FORMAT
A Payment Medium Format (PMF) is a configuration on how the information to the bank
ormat
will be presented. The system already provides certain formats that can be modified to
the user's needs. SAP suggests working first with these formats, and only creating one
when the bank's requirements cannot be met with these.
1.1.1. CREATE PAYMENT MEDIUM FORMAT
Note Payment Medium Workbench contains a range of predefined
PMF that can be configured as needed. Payment Medium
Formats should only be created in case the house bank cannot
process one of the existing formats.
To create a payment medium format, follow this path:
SPRO > Financial accounting (new) > Accounts receivable
and accounts payable > Business transactions > Outgoing
Path payments > Automatic outgoing payments > Payments Media
> Make settings for payment medium formats from payment
medium workbench > Create payment medium formats
