Initial Bank Reconciliation Implementation - Outstanding checks

During the very first bank reconciliation the begining balance that the system enters as the beginning balance is $0. But of course in reality we have checks that have been written, but the suppliers have not cashed them prior to "go live" (so the AP Invoices are closed in the legacy system and so there is not an invoice in SAP B1).
How should these outstanding checks be entered / accounted for so that when the first bank reconciation is completed and the checks clear so that the balance will reconcile to the bank statement?
SAP Business One 2007 A 8.00.230

If you put your cheque number in the journal entry as Reference 1 it will appear in your bank reconciliation, this can be done at line or at header level, depending on how many cheques you post in each journal.
It is usual practice when setting up a new system to create journal entries when setting up the opening balances - stock, debtors & creditors will all offset into an "Opening Balances" suspense account. When you post an entry to create the opening balance sheet, this account should become 0, as the balance sheet will always balance. These open items from your bank reconciliation are simply part of the opening balances.

How to find External Bank Reconciliation # given Check #?

I have a check number for an outgoing payment that has been reconciled on a bank rec, and we can't locate the Bank rec.. Is there a way to find the Bank Rec# that the check was on? Any information as to how to find this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. this is on version SAP B1 2007.

The link between Check # and External Bank Reconciliation # would probably be a many to one relationship. There is no direct link between them. You may have to dig into the G/L account for all detailed JE for find them.
Thanks,
Gordon

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.

Document Number Not Generate In FEBA ( Bank Reconciliation)

Dear All,
We have configured all the required details for Manual Bank Statement for Bank Reconciliation .
Steps :
1 ) Take converted file from Bank
2 ) Upload that file in Text format into System then system automatically update FF67.
3) Go into FEBA , then we got cleared items but we are not able to get Accounting Document Number .
How we can get Accounting Document Number in FEBA ??
Regards,
Kaushal Shah

Hi,
Sorry, just today I checked your message.
Instead of processing BDC, you have to post through FEBA.
ie. Download the statement with the option Do not post or post online.
Then process the error lines or all documents through FEBA. Then you can able to see the document number.
If the posting is done at the background through batch jobs, then there will not be any document number visible through FEBA.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Regards,
Prabha

Bank Reconciliation report missing transtype=57

Hi
we are using SAP B1 version 8.81(8.81.313) PL 05
We have a cyrstal report for Bank Reconciliation which is missing all transactions with transtype=57 (Checks for Payment).
1. Is this a standard report for SAP B1 or has this been developed for us? I have not been here long and while some reports were developed by the reseller, I am not sure which ones they were.
2. The Show SQL Query code includes the following which I have not been able to find anywhere in the report.I have looked in all the reports both main and sub-reports under report->selection formula->record selection as well as in all formula fields and section experts.
AND ("JDT1"."TransType"=N'30'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'-4'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'46'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'24'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'25')
I understand that this is the piece of code I need to add " OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'57' "
3.Can anyone help where else I might find the above code?
4. Does anyone know what TransType=-4 in table JDT1 represents?
Thanks Chris

Automatic clearing in Electronic Bank Reconciliation

Hi All,
I have a scenario here where my client is using an Electronic Bank Statement to do bank reconciliation. The format used is MultiCash. Our setting for Bank GL account are using one Uncleared account - all payment or transfer will be posted here, and one cleared account - after bank reconciliation has been done, it will clear the line item in Uncleared account and post it in Cleared Account.
And one of the conifg we do for bank reconciliation is to automatically clear the Payment Document in Uncleared Account and post it to Cleared Account by searching and matching the Document number. So in the bank statement files given by the bank (DB), it will provide the document number in "Note to payees"
But we have a problem here with few market in Korea and Taiwan. They have limits for every transaction. For example, for Taiwan, each transaction is limit to TWD 20,000,000 only. Thus, if I got a payment paid out to vendor amounted 61,000,000 TWD, when the payment order is sent to the DB bank, the bank will automatically split it into 4 different payments transactions. Three transaction with amount TWD 20,000,000 and one transaction with amount 1,000,000.
So when the bank provide us with the bank statement file, the system will fail to do the clearing as its impossible to clear 20,000,000 TWD with the payment document TWD 61,000,000 in SAP. Currently they are using FEBAN to manually post partially and clear it off.
So my question will be, is it possible for SAP to detect all this 4 documents (20,000,000, 20,000,000, 20,000,000, 1,000,000) and clear it off with my payment document in the Uncleared Account amounted 61,000,000? The bank provided same SAP document number in every transaction for the Notes to payee field.
Please advice. Thanks.

Please check the algorithm you have mentioned against the posting rule for the transaction that is not getting cleared. Please use the criteria (like document number or cheque number or bank key etc.) in the reference field in the posting transaction to help the system to find out the matching item from the uncleared items for enabling to clear it off automatically.

MT940 Swift Bank EBRS Issue for Check transactions

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have configured EBRS for my client. We are receiving the Bank statement in MT940 SWIFT Format. In the same bank is giving The Check number for clearing open items from bank sub account my doubt is how to clear the open items on the basis of check number.
In the OT83 configuration I have kept interpretation Algorithm as a 011: Outgoing check: Check number not identical to document number.
When I am running trying to do Reconciliation through FEBA/FEBAN system is trying to search open items based on BELNR and not with CHECT.
Now in front of BELNR field it is getting upper limit and Lower Limit as a * so system is selecting all open items from the Sub account and EBRS is getting failed due to the same error.
Can anyone guide me how to clear open items from Bank sub gl account on the basis of Check number.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi Nikhil,

In ref they have not given any value i have configured my algorythm as 011 but when it goes to Batch input session to post document it is posting one entry that is to main ledger correctly and when it goes to select open item from subledger it is taking BELNR as a search criteria But in front of it system is showing * so system is not able to find exact document to clear the subledger transaction.
Is there any sap note to be applied here as i am stuck on it since long time....This is first time working on EBRS...not able to understand the exact problem why it is happenning here as my MBRS is working perfectly allright with the same posting rules i have used for both.

Electronic Bank Reconciliation

Dears,
We are on our way to implement electronic bank reconciliation in our SAP system.
However, there are certain points I am not very clear. Could you please offer your valuable comments:
WE understand that we can download the data from the Bank in approved data format such as (BAI, MT*, etc.) and directly upload into the system.
But what is the difference between these:
- What is MT100 & MT940 format ?
- Do they serve the same purpose ?
We are planning to use MT940 Statement uploading.

Hello Nikitha,
Please refer below mentioned links and documents it will help you to understand.

Interesting the Banking section has been revamped in 2007 version without such a standard report.
Yes, there are work arounds, but something so standard should not need a work around.

Standard Bank Reconciliation and Customer and Vendor Statement of Accounts

Hello Experts,
I am implementing ECC6.0 now. I'm noit very familiar with the version so I am very hopeful that you could help me find the following standard reports in SAP. If these are not standard, then I need to recommend customization since the data are in SAP nonetheless.
Are these reports available as standard report in SAP ECC6.0? Can you please tell me the transaction codes?
- Bank Reconciliation
- Statement Of Accounts for Customers
- Statement of Accounts for vendors
- Credit Analysis using Credit Control Area as parameter
Thanks in advance
Rocel

Hi,
BRS - FF_5 (If the statement is in a recognised format), FF67 and FEBA_BANK_STATEMENT (if the statement is manual)
Statement of Accounts for vendors and customers - F.27, Correspondence SAP06. However you may want to change the standard form.
Credit Analysis - FCV3, F.33, F.31, S_ALR_87012218.

Bank reconciliation incoming payment

Hi All,
I am in the blue print designing phase of one of my client. Below is the client requirement for incoming bank reconciliation.
We have suggested them, the moment they received cheque of check from client, the entry should be posted in incoming payment account like this:
Debit Incoming Clearing Account
Credit Customer Account
When actually payment will appear in the main account entry should be posted like this:
Debit Main Bank Account
Credit Incoming clearing Account
Now the question from client is when any cheque or check would be deposited in my bank account there would one entry in our bank statement stating cheque or check deposited but subject to clearing and main account balance should be increased but actually cheque or check has not been enchased yet.
How to handle the scenario for bank reconciliation for incoming payment.

Hi Ashutosh,
Please try to use Payment Order Functionality. This option is available in the Payment Methods in Country in FBZP.

Please give me suggetions.
Thanks
Satya

Satya,
Are you referring to the Printed copy of Reconciliation on the Bank Account.
choose Banking > Bank Statements and Reconciliations > Reconciliation. Choose the Automatic tab and enter the required parameters. Choose Print Settings.
Select to print reconciliations. After you select this option, the following fields appear:
· New Reconciliations Only select to print only the reconciliation that the system is about to perform.
· New and Old Reconciliations select to print reconciliations that were created in the past and the ones the system is about to perform. After you select this option, additional fields appear that enable you to define the reconcilation number range.
Note: These are from SBO help files. Please try to first look into them as there is a lot of information that could answer most of your questions:
