Use of different payment medium formats within one payment method (PMW/DMEE)

Hello Dear Experts,
I am still quite new to the FI environment and have a question in the context of Payment Medium Workbench, Data Medium Exchange Engine.
As far as I understand, there is a 1 to 1 relationship between payment method and a payment medium format (Please correct me if I am wrong here). I am looking for a way to use different "PAYM format trees" from DMEE with a payment method. The determination of the appropriate format should be done via a customer specific table. Unfortunately I could not find a place to do this without modification. My question therefore, is there any extension spot or BAdI that I could use to determine the payment medium format within a payment run using PMW?
1000 thanks and best regards,
Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    in the transaction FBZP - Payment methods in country the format is assigned to the payment method.
    This is then valid for all house banks of the company code.
    Since note 1943453 - PMW format depending on house bank and company code, message BFIBL02170
    https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1943453/D there is this new possibility.
    Otherwise you have to describe more exactly what you want to do.
    Many greetings

    Hello AnWo,
    thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately, a differentiation by company code and house bank is not sufficient.
    The overall construct is quite complex and, as far as I can see, far beyond the FI standard. In principle, it should be possible to select the payment medium format depending on a customer/vendor. In the standard, I think this could only be done by creating n payment methods and using them depending on the respective customer/vendor, but this is not desired and would probably also fail due to the maximum number of possible payment methods (payment key CHAR 1).
    I hope that was halfway understandable? For further ideas I am very grateful.
    Many kind regards,
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas
    The payment medium is dependent on YOUR house bank, which must be able to read and process the data.
    What sense does it make to define payment methods/formats depending on the customers/suppliers.
    The sense of your intention is still not clear....
    Many greetings

    Hello AnWo,
    As I said, the overall construct is quite complex and does not comply with the standard. The generated files do not go to our house bank but to different recipients (customers) who also have different requirements for the respective format. Possibly it is nevertheless a possibility to control this over different house banks, that I must co-ordinate times more exactly with the specialist area.
    Thank you very much and best regards,
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    If I may say so, that sounds a bit wild. What kind of special payment information do you have to transmit to your business partners? Maybe you could tinker something in connection with payment advices...
    Have fun with SAP...
    Cheers

    Hi MrBojangles,
    basically we use the payment run to transfer posting information to other SAP systems. The construct is already running using the classic payment programs (RFF*) in combination with customer specific programs that are triggered via the list function of the payment run. Of course, this would still be possible using the PMW, but this construct is not very flexible and always requires corresponding program adaptations if changes in the file format are necessary. Therefore, the idea was to solve this using the PMW and corresponding DMEE formats. However, as mentioned in my initial posting, it would be necessary to be able to use different DMEE format trees within a payment method, whereby the determination of the format tree here cannot / should not be done according to the house bank, but should be determined from a customer-specific table.
    Alternative suggestions are of course welcome.
    Many thanks and best regards,
    Thomas

    to save you from further headaches: we will probably be able to solve the control via different house banks after all.
    Thank you very much for your efforts.
    Kind regards,
