3140938 - Automatic export of payment files to a SFTP/FTP location

Symptom

From "Manage automatic payments", you want to export generated payment files to a SFTP folder or external system location automatically before sending it to bank.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

In the cloud environment, it is not possible to store the payment file into the local sever or a specific folder in the laptop automatically in a secure way. Because the access interface to the SAP data is via the browser.

Resolution

In standard, currently there are three ways to communicate with bank.

  1. Bank Integration with File Interface (Scope Item 1EG).
  2. Application Interface to Retrieve Payment Files (Scope Item 2YM).
  3. SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity (Scope Item 16R).

Refer the blog R2R Series Blog #15: Payments and Bank Communication in S/4HANA Cloud for more details.
