Edit format in EFM, bank statement suppliers

Hi Experts,
I'm hoping someone can help me with an BFP-file we are working on.
We are trying to create a file to import a bank statment for paid supplier invoices. It almost works.
There is basically one problem: I can’t find a way to import more than one payment for the same Business Partner. The txt file works like this:
260002559334Swedbank AB (publ) Dustin AB
14000255933411233798 00000171730000000000000O2448
14000255933411247958 00000007980000000000000O2449
Where 26 specifies the BP (Swedbank in this case) and 14 are two payment details, one for 17173000 SEK and one for 798000 SEK.
I tried different specifications for transaction row etc but all of them result in only one of the payments going into SAP B1 or 3 rows (one with BP and two with transaction amounts), there is no way to get two rows with the same business partner and two transaction amounts.
Any idea or someone that has created something similar?
Thank you

Anders

See my attached picture, rows that starts with 26 is the company and 14 the payments.
As you can see there are two places where there are two 14 rows and one 26, in other words two payments for the same supplier/vendor, But when we import it to BSP only on of the 14 rows is imported. How can we make sure we import both 14 lines for one 26?
Any ideas or someone that knows the EFM?
Thanks

Using Bank Statement in Excel format for Electronic Bank Statement

Hello Gurus,
I have asked my bank for bank statement in the following formats MT940, SWIFT MT942, Multicash, BAI and BAI2 but they seem not to understand me and have not been able to provide that. I have been able to get the bank statement in Excel format and I will like to know how to develop the two TXT files that are required for bank statement upload. Does anybody have a suggestion of how to do the conversion?
Thanks

Hi
There are various std SAP programs for file conversion. Goto SE38 -> and do an F4 with program name RFEB* or RFE*.
You should get the list of programs related to EBS.
Also just check whts the file format required for tcode FF67.
One more thing will asking the bank for a specific fiel format, you just giv a reference of the file format which can be downloaded from internet.
Hope this helps you.

ankita

Dwarak,
I have a question.
EBS file was wrongly processed into system and understand that it has posted the values also on GL Accounts.
In this Scenario, if I goto RFEBKA96 and delete the statements , what will be the fix about posted entries.
Do we need to reverse them so that the correct file will be processed successfully without any duplication ?
Points will be awarded.

Unable to clear sub-ledger items on uploading electronic bank statement

Hi All,
The client is in Belgium & uses format BE for bank statements. in postprocessing of EBS (FEBA), there are a few items with a posting rule 0002 (for Eg) that need to be posted manually. The posting rule is as below:
0002 1 40 BE INTERIM 50 BE BANK ZR 1
0002 2 BE OUTGOING BE 50 BE INTERIM ZV 4
As you can see the posting type is 1 & 4. The user's contention is that this should knock off items in sub-ledger i.e., vendor & customer open items but the system is posting to the GL accounts that are assigned to the account symbols shown above.
My question is... Is it possible with such a posting rule to clear items in sub-ledger? If yes, is there any setting that needs to done to ensire that in FEBA, on manually trying to post the system should direct to the screen where you can enter the customer or vendor number & select open item?
Thanks,
Lakshmi

I found the answer in Customizing new G/L. thanks anyway.

Why does my bank statement open up in Quicktime Player with only the first page visible?

This month I tried to open my bank statement as usual, and it opened in Quicktime Player. The first page of the statement displays, but I can not scroll to the next pages. I have tested downloading other items, and they downloaded as usual. I don't use Quicktime, and I tried hiding it. But each time I try to see my statement, it comes up again.

Hi Lynda,
What file format is your bank statement in? Is it a PDF or in an .xls/.csv file format? It sounds like the program-to-file association has gotten messed up on the file. If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the file then:
- Get Info
- Open with
If it's a .pdf then you'll want to associate the file with Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you use). If it's a different file format you'll want to associate it with the program that you typically use for that file type.

Hi
I implemented the EBS in my company 4 month ago and here are some advises on the problems i experienced in the setup process. As for the setup process it is straightforward just read the manual at help.sap.com.
We used the MT940 format for importing bank statements from our bank.
The first thing i would advice you to do is make a list of all the possible transactions that are to be handled by the EBS application.
Then make estimation of how many payments that are recieved in constant structured way which the EBS can handle. (invoice number in the text)
The people in our accounting department complained alot about the output format in the EBS not being userfreindly compared to the advises they recieved in e-mail form from the bank so if not the bulk of your payments can be processed automatically it might not be worth the trouble to implement it. (i still think they uses the the email to postprocess the transactions that was not automatically cleraed)
Make sure you havent got any other applications handling some of the transactions that are contained in the bank statement because this wont work. eg. we had a program automatically placing fx trades on customer and bank account which meant that when we recieved the fx trade on the statement it was already placed and therefore had to be placed on a interims account for later reversal.
We get alot of bankcharges on our payments and we set up the EBS to place them automatically on a bankcharge account if the difference between the recieved amount on the invoice was less that 30 dollars.(we just assume that a difference is a bank charge) This means that a customer if he wants to always can pay x dollars under the invoice amount because it will be automatically processed and therefore go unnoticed.
Establish a contact in your bank who knows how their MT940 format has been structured.
Then contact your bank and get them to provide some test statements of old bank statements.
Make sure that you are not the first customer for using the MT940 format or else you will end up being ginny pig for the banks possible mistakes.
As i learned the way banks interpret the MT940 format guidelines can varry quite alot eg. the ocmt field our bank interpreted as the original payed amount in its original currency. SAP inprets this field as the recieved amount in its original currency and therefore it always try to clear the OCMT amount if availleble which meant it always tried to clear the original amount even though there had been taken som bankcharges underways.
I also found out that our bank didnt really bother to specify the type of transaction (interest, fx contract, bank charges, check and so on) which meant we only had two external transaction codes availleble s103 for incomming payments and ntrf for outgoing payments. This gave alot of trouble as i had to identify the type of transaction through seach algorithms.
Our bank also had trouble creating the MT940 file because it has a limited number of characters availleble which meant in the initial file that it only gave the first x characters of each line and then left out the rest. This meant that the text was broken into alot of pieces and you hardly ever had a complete invoice number to clear on. We had the bank altering their format so they now leave out text at the end of the transaction instead.
In the implementation process we experienced that the EBS application created a payment advice each time the amount of the payment didnt match the invoice in the system. We implemented a note from service.sap which disabled this and just assigned the difference to a bankcharge account.
I dont know if you can use these advices but just felt i would try to warn you about the potential problems that i experienced in the process. .
If you have concrete questions to the EBS setup feel free to contact me and i will see if i can help you.

Issue with electronic bank statement upload

Hi All,
          Presently I face an inssue in posting electronic bank statement upload (Tcode - ff_5).
The scenario goes like this.
         First we do payment to vendor using 'f110' transaction.Here the document currency is different from local currency.Let us say we paid 100 EBP i.e, approximately 177 USD.
After the payment we get statement from Bank (in this case BAI format).In the bank statement due to exchange rate difference the amount will not be exactly 177 USD but slightly different like 185 USD or may be 170 USD.
       At this point we have to upload this statement using transaction 'FF_5' to system.Here obviously the differential amount goes to the system ( 185 USD or 170 USD).
Now the issue is we have to post this difference amount like USD 8 or USD 7 to a specific GL account ( 11800 or any other GL acc number ).
The 'FF_5' transaction updates the tables 'FEBKO,FEBEP' by using the programs 'RFEBBU00',
'RFEBBU10'.There is an exit also like 'FEB00001'. We can put this difference amount in one of the fields of FEBEP table by using this exit.
   But the point I don't know is how to post this difeerence amount 8 or 7 USD to a specific G/l account ? I could not locate in the above program 'RFEBBU00' where the posting happens ?
Thanks for any help.
Vinod.

Hi Sharaad & Naga,
                     Thanks for the replies.One more doubt, Will I have to use these function modules inside the exit or do I need to change the sap standard program to incorporate these FM calls ?
Thanks
Vinod.

Electronic bank statement Germany

Dear all,
I should configure electronic bank statement for a German customer that should change from one system to SAP. Their format on electronic bank statement is MT940 and in the file they have all transactions that appeared on their bank statement; incoming payments (both manual and by direct debit), outgoing payments (both manual and automatic paymens by file) and other costs as bank fee (total to about 5 cost accounts).
When looking at transaction FF_5 i have some questions:
1. I guess in Germany, when having format MT940, I don´t need to convert the file in FEBC?
2. In FF_5 - elect. bank statement format should be entered, which one should I use?:
G SWIFT MT940- Field 86: Structure Recgnized automatically
I SWIFT MT940 international format (field 86 unstructured)
or
S SWIFT MT940 with field 86 structured?
3. What is the difference by statement file and line item file, should I have both? Today, in their current system, they only import one file from bank, so if I only have one file, which field to use?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards L

Hi,
The ?20, ?21, ... are in the record beginning with :86:.
Here is an example:
:86:835?00PAIEMENT?20FRE / 22548?31xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?32xxxxxxxx
In most cases, you have ?00 and ?20 but there are other possible codes like ?21, ?22, ?23, ?31, ?32, ...
Eventually, the ? may be replaced by another character but I think it is not frequent. In this case, the first character after the 3 digits following :86: is the character replacing the ?.
Look at your MT940 files and you will see the presence or absence of these ?00, ?20, ?21, ... codes in record :86:.
If there are present, it is structured; if not unstructured.

Uploading bank statement with formatt other than MT940

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement that I need to upload bank statement directly into SAP.
I have almost 30 banks configured but problem is not all of them gives MT940 format and if I am going for multicash format then my client does not want to create any excel file himself and then upload that.

The statements which bank gives are in PDF or text format.
So, Is it possible to upload bank statement directly if format is other than MT940?
Is there any other format I should demand from Banks?

Importing UK Bank statements: Lloyds of London

Hi all
We are an Australian Business partner that has a client thats opened up an office in the UK, we are trying to setup the importing of the electronic bank statements under Bank statement processing however all three UK formats that we try fail to import ( SAPBUKIB_APACS, SAPBUKIB_BAI or SAPBUKIB_LTSBCSV ). The Bank that we are getting the CSV from is Lloyds of London. If any one has some documentation on what file format to use of where I can get them it would be greatly appreciated.
Client is using SAP B1 2007A SP01 PL09
Thanks in advance
Werner

Hi Werner,
you need to contact the bank & obtain the format of their bank statement. Once you have that, you can use the Format Defintion add-on to create the plug-in.
There is very good documentation about how to use FD in the [Documentation Resource Centre|https://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/documentation].
All the best,
Kerstin

FF_5 - Import Bank Statement, Err: Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

Hi
When importing the bank statement I'm getting the error
Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL ; see next message
Why is it doing this? In OKB9 I have the GL Account and the cost center assigned. It is the ne GL that is giving this problem, in the classic GL I do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi
No, it is not that. For some reason in the new GL it does not seem to determine the cost centers and profit centers as usual.
For exampl to allocate the Profit Center for Balance Sheet Account I used to use 3KEH in the classic gl but in the New gl we must use FAGL3KEH.
Now with cost center i'm having the same problem, does not determine the cost center when importing the bank statement.
Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance
