Symptom
You have created a custom payment file. After creation of the outbound file, you noticed that the Expiration date of the payment file comes as "00000000".
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Liquidity Management Work Center.
- Select Outbound Files.
- Search for all and ID XXX(XXX represents the ID of the outbound file).
- Download the file and open it.
Result: You will notice that the expiration date comes as "00000000".
Cause
The Data Source "Expiration Date of Payment File" in Business ByDesign is a field that was intended for usage in UK specific custom files, for BACS payments. This Data source will therefore only work when a custom BACS structure is created and assigned to the standard BACS payment format.
Resolution
A potential alternative would be to use a different Data Source: "Expected Payment Value Date at Payer/Payee".
