Recently I got a chance to get my hands onto some part of FICO which I was totally alienated to. Being an Enterprise Portaldeveloper I found the R/3 screen little less fancy (no offence) compared to our pretty colorful portal screens. Then there was this

requirement where I was asked to implement the Web component of FSCM Biller Direct which I though would be just anotherR/3 like screen on browser but the output of this implementation was pretty impressive.

So I thought why not take you all through this web component tab by tab.

What is FSCM Biller Direct 6.0? I'm sure most of the FICO guys would be aware what FSCM Biller Direct is but this is for the beginners.SAP Biller Direct is a JAVA-based Web application that enables customer accounts to be presented in a biller's Internet portal. Itenables customers to pay bills via the Internet, as well as enter inquiries and complaints. The biller deploys the Web applicationSAP Biller Direct and runs subledger accounting either in Accounts Receivable Accounting (FI-AR) or Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable (FI-CA).
