• Key Concepts: 
  Payment Media Run is a component of the SAP Accounts Payable (AP) module. It is used to generate payment media files, which are used to transfer payments from the company’s bank account to its vendors. The payment media files are created in a specific format that is accepted by the bank. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Payment Media Run, the user must first define the payment media format in the system. This includes specifying the file type, field lengths, and other parameters. Once the payment media format is defined, the user can create payment media files for each vendor. The user can then upload these files to their bank’s system for processing. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating payment media files, it is important to ensure that all of the required fields are filled out correctly. This will help ensure that the payments are processed correctly by the bank. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which payment media files have been uploaded to the bank and which have not. This will help prevent duplicate payments from being made.
