Bank Communication Management
Purpose
SAP Bank Communication Management is used for managing multiple bank communication interfaces, enabling you to connect to your bank, track the entire payment life cycle of a
transaction, and improve straight-through processing rates and internal compliance. Bank Communication Management is also responsible for the creation and approval of batches,
the payment status monitor, and the bank statement monitor.
With Bank Communication Management , t he payments in one or several payment runs can be presented and processed in a payment status monitor. This monitor also serves as a
repositry for incoming status messages from SWIFT and from individual banks. The payments in the payment run can be grouped to one or several batches according to your
needs. For example, payments can be grouped according to low value and high value payments. Y ou can also use digital signatures to approve, reject, or resubmit payments.
