Audience
The PCMA User Guide is intended for use by PCMA Users and Administrators.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide end-users with the following information: An overview of the PCMA application A How-to guide to execute transactions to support your business processes. The step-by-step procedures for processing receivables, generating reports, executing settlement, and managing encryption.
Displays all Payment Card CSR Supervisors/managers proactively monitor card authorization responses and the authorization activity and investigate appropriate auths, current status of those responses declines or communication failures and orders. for a date/time range. Authorization Permits cleanup of data prior to the end of a CSR shift date is the only mandatory field in Better customer service/cost management by easily this report. identifying instances where customers should be contacted same-day to revalidate data. Permits immediate, interactive access of list of reports with non-approved responses and allows user to maintain card data in those orders quickly Auth metrics (as opposed to settlement) by date range, by CSR (who did what, when), by card type, by auth-response, sales-ord, doc-type, currency, MID, etc. Able to display all authorization responses of a certain type and filter out all other response types such as showing only Declines and Communication Failure responses and filtering out Approvals.
Payment Card Activity by Partner Number /PMPAY/PARTNER Description: Displays all Payment Card authorization responses and the current status of those responses for a given partner
18
Use Case: Same as Payment Card Authorization Response by Date except isolated to a specific SAP customer regardless of the card number used. Can display all orders for a certain customer within a specified date range on which any credit card was used.
Expiring Payment Card Authorizations /PMPAY/EXPAUTH Description: Displays all Payment Card authorizations that will expire during a given date range (based on the authorization horizon defined in configuration) if not settled before those dates or the
20
Use Case: Proactively manage the identification and reprocessing of authorizations that are due to expire (become stale) on a specific date or have previously expired within a given date range. SAP natively only identifies expired auths when an order is
20
final date on which authorizations touched for an update or for delivery or invoice processing, will be considered valid. The so the value-add is: report also has the ability to submit Scenario one: Auth expires on an order, but not due for orders, on which expired delivery for a while authorizations exist, to have new Result: Merchant exposes liability against that order as it authorizations attempted. no longer carries a valid auth PM Value-add: Permits management of this scenario and timely re-auth (or other action) to reduce this exposure Scenario two: Auth expires on an order, ultimately detected by std SAP during the DELIVERY or BILLING run/creation Result: Means scenario one has been in place for some period. Result: Delivery or Invoice can not proceed until new authorization achieved. We have user exits to make this real-time in many instances (for deliveries), but if the realtime (at time of delivery) reauth FAILS then fulfillment process WILL definitely be interrupted for this order. PM Value-add: Same as scenario one, AND permits management of this scenario and timely re-auth (or other action) PRIOR to attempting delivery or billing, to reduce reprocessing and fulfillment interruption.
Orders with Payment Card Payment Terms/Method and NO Card data /PMPAY/PAYT Description: Displays all order documents that were created with payment card Payment terms or a Payment method (both freely definable), yet contain no payment card information in the payment card screen Use Case:
22
Avoid instance of not requesting payment (e.g sending an invoice stating Do not pay, paid by CC or not sending an invoice at all, under the scenario when there is actually no CC data present and therefore no auth/settle)
Orders with Material Availability after Auth Expiration /PMPAY/SCHCHK Description: Displays all order documents that contain line items with Material Use Case:
24
Some customers choose to permit auth requests now for goods that will not be available much further in the future
Orders with Material Availability after Auth Expiration /PMPAY/SCHCHK Availability dates that extend beyond the date on which the authorization(s) will be considered expired
24
when it is known that the auth will have already expired. E. g. requesting an auth today for goods not available for another 3 months. For these customers, proactive management of this subset of auths to know how many and how much and identify specific orders needing attention or follow-up action.
27
Use Case: This enhanced version of standard SAP transaction VCC1 can be run as a scheduled batch job in addition to an interactive report. This allows for the automated Credit Release of documents on Credit Hold due to insufficient authorization.
A general purpose reporting tool that can be used to manage sales documents and deliveries associated with payment cards
Documents with Payment Card Information /PMPAY/DOCS Description: Displays all Sales Orders, Invoices and Accounting documents in a given date range on which a particular card number is referenced.
28
Use Case: A customer calls the Merchant questioning a charge on their statement for which they are unfamiliar. This report allows the CSR to quickly locate all relevant documents on which the card number (token), amount and dates match in order to quickly provide the customer information about the charge for example by viewing the Invoice document. This replaces a manual search through all cleared items on a customer's account.
Financial Accounting
Documents with Payment Card Information
28
/PMPAY/DOCS (same as the one listed under S&D) Description: Displays all Sales Orders, Invoices and Accounting documents in a given date range on which a particular card number is referenced. Use Case: A customer calls the Merchant questioning a charge on their statement for which they are unfamiliar. This report allows the CSR to quickly locate all relevant documents on which the card number (token), amount and dates match in order to quickly provide the customer information about the
28
/PMPAY/DOCS (same as the one listed under S&D) charge for example by viewing the Invoice document. This replaces a manual search through all cleared items on a customer's account.
Documents by Settlement Batch Number /PMPAY/BATITEM Description: List all documents included in a settlement batch. This report is intended to be used to assist in the settlement reconciliation process
32
Use Case: Shows full authorization info including auth-codes Enables estimation of processor fees per batch Break out (sorting/subtotals, etc) of debits/credits, card types, customers, etc Use for accurate and efficient reconciliation, and research and management of exceptions especially because of the presence of the authorization detail
34
Use Case:
Lists settlement items across This report is very useful for period based reporting such as settlement batches for a given date Month-end, Quarter-end, Year-end, etc. Will display range. subtotals by credit and debit and approximate fees.
Reauthorize and Release Billing Documents /PMPAY/VFX3 Description: An enhanced version of the standard SAP transaction VFX3 (Release Billing Documents for Accounting). The results will list all billing documents which are blocked from posting to accounting due to insufficient payment card authorization.
37
Use Case: This enhanced version of standard SAP transaction VFX3 can be run as a scheduled batch job in addition to an interactive report. This allows for the automated identification of Invoices on Credit Hold due to insufficient authorization, re-saving of the related Sales Order and thus a new Authorization attempt. If the Authorization is Approved, the Invoice is automatically released to Accounting.
10
Reverse Clearing with Payment Card Data /PMPAY/FBRC Description: Allows a settled accounting document to be reversed when the corresponding payment card authorization has been rejected as a charge back. This will create a new accounting document with a DEBIT to the customers AR account and a CREDIT to the Bank clearing account as defined in the IMG.
40
Use Case: Basically a search engine built around standard SAP transaction FBRC. This report assists in locating transactions which should be reversed from the Settlement Clearing account and posted back to the Customer AR account. This is commonly performed when the item has been rejected from a Settlement request or the customer has won a Chargeback dispute.
/PMPAY/OAR Description: Displays all open items (Credits and Debits) that are currently on the customers account. The user may choose any of the items, including a mixture of debits and credits, and attempt to clear the full or partial amount with a payment card or electronic check. Use Case: Allows an end-user to view open items on a customers AR account, select items against which to process a payment and enter payment details. If successful, the program posts a clearing document moving the liability from the Customer AR account (by clearing the item(s) selected) and into the appropriate Credit Card Receivable account so it can be picked up by the standard SAP Settlement program. Most commonly used for outbound collection calls on past due invoices or simply as a customer service offering allowing customers to change their method of payment from Payment Terms to Credit Card. Fills a GAP in the standard SAP business logic in which a card payment can NOT be taken directly against an Open Item on a Customers AR account in the Financial Module.
77
Use Case: An invoice was cleared with a payment through Open AR and a manager would like to know who the end user was that processed the payment. This report includes the payment document number, the number of all Open Items which were cleared by that payment, the SAP username of
This report displays all clearing documents posted by the Open AR or Auto AR programs within a given date range.

the end user who performed the payment and the Authorization response details.
Direct AR
78
/PMPAY/DAR Description: Provides the ability to automatically accept credit card payment without reference to open Accounts Receivables. The program also automatically creates an open item on the customers account by posting an incoming payment document. Use Case: This functionality is similar to that of a customer sending in a check with no reference to any current open item and then requesting that the funds are placed as an open credit amount to their account. Commonly used for Downpayment functionality with a credit card. For example, if a customer has placed an order that requires a lead time to acquire materials in order to build the products and the Merchant would like a downpayment Direct AR can be used for this scenario.
Auto AR
92
/PMPAY/AUTOAR Description: The Auto AR program provides the ability to automatically accept credit card payment on open Accounts Receivables in a scheduled batch job on a recurring basis. The program then automatically clears open items on a customers account by posting an incoming payment document. Use Case: Similar to the Open AR program but intended to be run as a scheduled job. Open Items must be flagged for processing during the Order creation or Invoice creation process mostly commonly by using a custom Payment Term (EX: ZAUT) on the document. When the program is executed, it identifies open items for payment, locates the card to be used for payment (by default the program uses the Default card on the Customer Master record) and attempts Authorization and clears the liability to the appropriate Credit Card Receivable account for processing by the standard SAP Settlement program.
Settlement
Settlement 104 /PMPAY/FCC1 Description: An enhanced version of the Use Case: This program offers the ability to PING the XiPay server
12
Settlement 104 /PMPAY/FCC1 standard SAP transaction FCC1 (Payment Cards: Execute Settlement). before executing settlement. Standard SAP settlement posts a document clearing funds from the Payment Card Clearing account into the Bank Settlement Clearing account BEFORE determining if there is a communication error thus giving the false impression in the GL accounts that you are awaiting a deposit. The RFC connections are selected by default. If the RFC connections are not active, the program terminates immediately, leaving the funds in the Payment Card Clearing account accurately reflecting that communication with the clearinghouse has not occurred.
An enhanced version of the Has the same added benefit as /PMPAY/FCC1 above that it standard SAP transaction FCC2 verifies the RFC connection is active. (Payment Cards: Execute Settlement). This program is used to re-execute settlement after an RFC Call has failed.
Manually Update Host Details of SAP Batch 121 /PMPAY/FCC4 Description: Allows you to manually update host details of an SAP batch. Use Case: Allows for the editing of the Settlement Batch log details for a specific batch in addition to viewing the details. Helpful when SAP encounters an error and the Settlement program is unsuccessful in writing an entry to the Settlement log for a batch.

Customer Master Either provides a list of tokens from the Customer Master in the Search Help dialogue box or allows you to search for a token in the Customer Master using the last four digits of the card if using the keystroke integration method. File Opens a defined .txt file that contains a list tokens that were placed in the file by copying and pasting. This can be used to store a list of tokens for commonly used credit cards so you can quickly bring up the list, select the token and continue processing your order. The file naming convention and location is configured by your SAP System Administrator. The standard naming conventions are as follows: USERID.txt (where the SAP userID is used as the filename) TOKEN.txt Note that the file naming convention is customizable via the DI Parmaters Paymetric User Exit (PUE) under DI Options in the IMG. Simply make a 'Z' or 'Y' version of the /PMENC/PEX_DI_PARAM Function Module and modify as desired.

Purpose
This option allows an existing blind authorization and any item(s) on the Open item overview to be cleared at any time. This process does NOT attempt an online authorization through the SAP standard RFC interface for the CA-PCI. The GL account and Merchant ID to be posted to are determined using the Account Determination sequence defined in configuration. From this point, the transaction is processed as if the authorization had indeed been obtained through an online authorization.
This option may not be used when displaying open CREDIT items or for amounts less than or equal to zero when processing ALL items.
The blind authorizations are NOT submitted for settlement until they are applied to an accounting document in SAP. This means they will NOT be listed as a charge on the customers card statement until they have been submitted for settlement.

Direct AR
Overview
This topic describes the basic operation and function of Direct AR for SAP. The Direct AR program provides the ability to automatically accept credit card payment without reference to open Accounts Receivables. The program also automatically creates an open item on the customers account by posting an incoming payment document.
This functionality is similar to that of a customer sending in a check with no reference to any current open item and then requesting that the funds are placed as an open credit amount to their account. The Direct AR program automatically attempts to obtain an authorization with the credit card details entered in the program and, if authorization is received, post an incoming payment to reflect either a DEBIT or CREDIT to the customers account. Payments are posted to the same GL accounts as SD credit card payments and automatically processed by the standard SAP settlement program.

Auto AR
Overview
The Auto AR program provides the ability to automatically accept credit card payment on open Accounts Receivables in a scheduled batch job on a recurring basis. The open items may be processed individually or as a group. The program then automatically clears open items on a customers account by posting an incoming payment document. By default, the Auto AR program automatically attempts to obtain an authorization with the default card stored on a customers master record and, if authorization is obtained, clears the open DEBIT items that are currently on the customers account. Payments are posted to the same GL accounts as SD credit card payments and automatically processed by the standard SAP settlement program. This program can be customized. Customizations are made via the Paymetric user exits (or PUEs) which are defined in the following features section. You should check with your PCMA System Administrator to see if any customizations have been made.
Features
The Auto AR Clearing program offers the following features: A Paymetric user exit (PUE) which allows you to customize the filtering of customers that have open items to be processed by Auto AR. A PUE that allows the billing doc as an import parameter to find credit card details for clearing open items in Auto AR.

For example, if 5 items are selected for processing with separate authorizations and a non-approval response is received for the 3rd item, the program does not attempt an authorization for items 4 & 5 under the assumption that more non-approval responses will be received.

Additional Information
The Auto AR program automatically attempts to obtain an authorization with the default card stored on a customers master record and, if authorization is obtained, clears the open DEBIT items that are currently on the customers account. Payments are posted to the same GL accounts as SD credit card payments and automatically processed by the standard SAP settlement program. The Auto AR Clearing program offers the following features: Default clearing of Debit open items with default credit card on customer master record (can also choose to clear Credit open items) Can process sum total of all open items or each item individually Can process only those open items with a due date within a certain number of days as specified on the selection screen Automatic posting of payment to clear the open item(s) upon receipt of credit card authorization Result report detailing results of program processing. Provides links to payment documents posted or details about errors during authorization or payment posting

The standard SAP version of settlement will post a document clearing funds from the Payment Card Clearing account into the Bank Settlement Clearing account BEFORE determining that there is a communication error thus giving the false impression in the GL accounts that you are awaiting a deposit. The RFC connections are selected by default. If the RFC connections are not active, the program will terminate immediately, leaving the funds in the Payment Card Clearing account accurately reflecting that communication with the clearinghouse has not occurred. Settlement is normally executed by batch but in certain instances may need to be executed manually. This topic contains the following sections: Batch Settlement Run 105 Manual Settlement Run 111

Settlement Verification
Purpose
When installing settlement functionality and at the time of settlement, three points of the data transfer must be verified to ensure that settlement has indeed been successfully transmitted. 1. Check SAP's settlement log in FCC4 for the successful submission indicator. 2. Access the XiPay GUI home page to verify that the entire batch file was received correctly. 3. Check the clearinghouse, to verify that the entire batch file was received correctly.
Settlement
Settlement Verification
123
Issues
SAP does not check for proper receipt of the settlement batch details by either the middleware or the clearinghouse. SAP only checks to see that the communication to the middleware was completed, and even this is not always accurate. If the communication between SAP and the middleware breaks during transmission, SAP will on occasion incorrectly assume that the communication was successful and mark the batch as such. There is no mechanism that SAP has provided for any middleware provider to be able to account for these situations. SAP did provide the ability for a middleware to log in to SAP and return the batch number the clearinghouse assigned to the submitted batch, but the clearinghouse does not always provide this. For this reason, check the middleware logs and the clearinghouse for receipt. If the SAP lo gs do no t indica te a re ce ipt, this is the firs t indica tio n o f a pro ble m . Failing to check all 3 locations will result in lost batches. Because SAP makes the assumption that all settlement file details will be successfully transmitted and all funds will be received in a deposit, you must ensure that transmission occurs because cash has been applied in your GL accounts by SAP already.
Verifying all three parts of the interface process on a daily basis must be a part of your business process.

The topics below provide assistance with SAP Payment Card Processing and are not Paymetric specific or supported by Paymetric.
Instructions are provided for the following: Entering a Payment Card Order 142 Entering Two Payment Cards in an Order 142 Entering a Manual Authorization 142 Prevent Use of Payment Cards in an Order 143 Put Part of an Order on Payment Card and Part on Open Terms 143 Finding All Orders for a Specific Payment Card Number 144 Sales Orders Denied Authorization 144 Deliveries Blocked Due to Insufficient Authorization in the Order 145 Invoices Blocked from Posting to Accounting Due to Insufficient Authorization in the Order 145 Orders with Schedule Lines Just Coming into the Authorization Horizon 146
143
Then, select the line and click on the Manual Authorization button. On the next screen, enter the Authorization code, the Authorization Reference Code (if obtained from the XiPay server otherwise you MUST leave this field BLANK), and the Authorized Amount. You can also adjust the authorization date and authorization time if desired. The Amount to Authorize is calculated and displayed on the screen, but must be typed into the Authorization Amount field. You can use copy and paste to copy the displayed value. (OSS note 207587 is required to calculate the value to authorize.) The standard system allows only one manual authorization per payment card. If you need the ability to enter more than one per card, you have the following choices: 1. Enter the same payment card as a second card (you will have to activate the ability to have multiple cards in an order). You can then enter a manual authorization for that card. 2. Install OSS note 210194 (which requires note 166699 as a predecessor). This note was released as an advanced correction and must be treated as a modification until it becomes part of the standard please verify.
144
The following are the selection criteria that should be specified: Overall processing status: From = A; to =B. This is the default value of order status that will allow you to select only open orders. Overall credit status: From = B. Orders that are not fully authorized are blocked for payment. Authorization block: From = X. This will identify orders that have been denied authorization due to a hard decline. (If you wish to find orders declined to hard and soft declines leave this value BLANK.)
145
When the detail screen is displayed, you can select all orders, click the Release for Authorization button, and then click Save. If the Authorization Block field is checked on the order, you must uncheck it manually in the sales order payment card header screen before you can resubmit it for authorization which is done simply by re-saving the order.
Invoices Blocked From Posting To Accounting Due To Insufficient Authorization In The Order
1. Navigate to the Reauthorize and Release Billing Documents for Accounting program: / PMPAY/PU_VFX3.
146
2. Enter a Sales organization and click on the Error in Authorization checkbox. 3. From the menu bar, go to Program >> Execute in background. The report will display a list of invoices blocked from posting to accounting due to insufficient authorization. You must manually track back to the order and obtain a new authorization before you can release the invoice to accounting.
Orders with Schedule Lines Just Coming into the Authorization Horizon
This variant should be run once per day, prior to the first delivery due list processing.
Next shipping date: From and To both blank Next check: From blank and To with todays date When the order was created only one delivery was authorized (this is not required if OSS note 194894 has been applied). Next shipping date: From field blank and To field with todays date Next check: From and To fields both blank Dealing with Backorder Deliveries Unanticipated deliveries can be created when the availability check in the delivery reports less available than the check done in the order and the customer allows partial delivery.
147
The resulting backorder will create a new delivery when stock becomes available. If each delivery is invoiced separately, then the backorder delivery will need a separate authorization. A backorder will also occur if the update to the delivery from picking results in a smaller quantity than requested. Run RV21A010 prior to the next delivery due list with the following selection criteria: Next shipping date: From field blank and To field with todays date Next check: From and To fields both blank

RFC Failures
Purpose
When an RFC call fails, contact your system administrator for further troubleshooting and to re-establish connection. When the RFC connection is re-established, it may be necessary to seek authorization or settlement for those transactions being transmitted during the failure.
Troubleshooting Tips
It is important to verify what stage a transaction is in to ensure proper action is taken after the RFC connection is restored. These steps will help determine what action to take: View payment card details and Response code 148 Verify Accounting Documents 151
