The amount in the payment file still contains 3 decimal places even though a customized US_POSIPAY payment format of 2 decimal places has been maintained.

1. Access MAP Format Data for Payments app.
2. Copy the standard format of US_POSIPAY to a customized format named /Z_US_POSIPAY.
3. Under the "Amount (redefined)" section, set the conversion function to A002 (the standard one is A003).
4. Release the customized payment format and process the automatic payment run.
5. Use the Check Extract Creation app to check the amount in the generated payment file and observe that there are still 3 decimal places.

The "Deviating Format Tree" under Configuration Activity 102569 - Create Payment Medium is still maintained with the standard payment format US_POSIPAY, which causes the system to prioritize the standard payment format and ignore the customized one.

1. Access Configuration Activity 102569 - Create Payment Medium 
2. Maintain the "Deviating Format Tree" as blank for the customized POSIPAY format (/Z_US_POSIPAY).
