the configuration steps required to integrate SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Essentials with the banks using SAP
Multi-Bank Connector deployed on Business Technology Platform.
SAP MBC connects banks and other financial institutions with corporate customers on a secure network
owned and managed by SAP.
It creates a multi bank, digital channel between your ERP systems and banks that offers embedded SWIFT and
EBICS connectivity.

SAP MBC acts as a single point corporate-to-bank connectivity increasing the visibility and control over all
the financial transactions that take place periodically.

It provides real time notifications to organizations enabling organizations to track payments, approvals and
cash flows in real time.

It will help organizations to verify bank payments, debit and credit charges, cheques, track account fees and
identify potential fraud  and track receivables faster.

HIGH-LEVEL INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE

developed how SAP digital payments add-on can simplify the connection between business applications
in S/4HANA and payment service providers

Enterprises doing business globally via various selling channels and with changing business models (i.e. B2C,
B2B, online shops, POS) need to offer digital payment methods such as credit card or real-time payments like
PayPal to their customers.

To do so, SAP customers (especially in ECC) used to build and maintain point-to-point connections from their
SAP software systems to their Payment Service Providers (PSP) – clearly a complex and maintenance
intensive process for their IT department.

A change of service provider or introduction of a new payment method was usually only possible via another
cost intensive implementation project. Not to mention the risk of data loss if critical credit card data is stored in
the ERP and the high costs for PCI DSS* certification resulting from this.

SAP therefore provides a new integration platform running in the SAP Cloud Platform (public cloud), enabling
out-of-the-box and standardized connections between various business applications and the PSPs:

SAP digital payments add-on is the alternative to complex customer-specific implementations with built-in
integration to various SAP / non SAP products and components:
  Out-of-the-box integration into various SAP and non-SAP order/sale-to-cash processes
(B2B, B2C, online shops, etc.)**
 Offers flexibility and access to multiple digital payment methods while automating cash
reconciliation
 Reduces audit costs and supports secure incoming payment card & other real time payment
transactions using tokenization – no sensitive data is stored in the ERP
 Compliant according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
 Stable and harmonized interfaces for all SAP and also non-SAP solutions
 Operation, maintenance, and support of connectivity centrally managed by SAP (SaaS) – no need
for customers to operate SAP Cloud Platform individually

As part of the official SAP roadmap, new payment service providers are planned in the upcoming releases.

Using a self-enablement approach, partners are welcome to integrate to SAP’s platform via partner API and
offering their services to all SAP customers.

More PSPs are currently finalizing their integration and certification and thus will become available to all SAP
customers soon.

During all SAP Implementation and roll-out projects we will have a requirement of updating different kinds of
master data in the system.
The most common way is to use the ‘MASS’ transaction or develop custom programs using BAPI, BDC or
LSMW to update master data.

For customers on S/4 Hana with MDG component , we can use Mass processing and consolidation option to
upload different kind of master data’s (Business Partner, Business partner Relationship, Product master ).

configure MDC for Business partner Mass change and use standard SAP FIORI app to perform in the front
end.

Master data consolidation and mass processing (MDC) is a module which helps in data cleansing.

A standard MDC process has many process steps, creating the process templates , defining the scope and
Activation .

It requires some basic knowledge of MDG , Odata services , BGRFC and authorization objects.

1. The first step is to configure the process templates.

     Go to MDCIMG ->Configure process Models-> Import predefined process templates      for
business partners
    Once the BC set is activated the process template will be available for use.

  2   Configure process model


o 147 BO for Business partner , 1405 for Business partner relationship , 194 for product and
MDC_147 for consolidation of Business partner
o We have configured for 147.

3   Configure Scope 


o In this step we can define the fields which are going to be changed during a mass processing
process

 4.  Configure Activation


o The activation step can be configured with a change request or can be direct activation.in this
article we have done direct activation

 5. Configure BGRFC destination


o BGRFC is required to trigger the workflow process for the MDC consolidation
o Go to SBGRFCCONF -> Define Inbound Destinations

 6.  Configure Fiori app

o There are 3 Fiori apps configured

  Start mass processing for Business partners ->
