Never, ever agree to do ad-hoc consulting if it relates to Automatic Payment Program. Never! EVER!
So here's the case. Client requires to imlement MT100 format, which is payment request for vendors, via APP. And then when it comes to configurations, client states 'we're doing configurations of APP and you do the format'. Ok, there's that standard MT100 format existing in SAP, you copy it to your own ZMT100 and do all the required adaptation. Life seemed so very fine, until we've realized that initially client cofigured APP so that when extracting MT100, it was generating bank document as well.
But we've configured the APP so that now it generates payment request and the format, no bank document, it has to be posted manually.
I mean, moral of the story is that, if there's a task to do some part of one of APP processes, never agree to implement part, do the whole implementation, from the initial configuration, cause there may be problems with understanding of how APP operates and what is the aim of it on that particular project.
Thinking of requesting some 2-3 days workshop for FI consultants regarding this APP, cause there are so many requests on configuration it. Upcoming 2 implementation and localization projects already include APP stuff.
