Automatic Bank Account Reconciliation - FF67

Hi experts,
I am having the following issue in my ECC 6.0 environment:
I'm doing manual bank reconciliation through tcode FF67, after entering all the payments and receipts i'll save the statement and then post the statement.
Afterwards I go to tcode SM35 and run the batch input session in order to real postings take place, reconciling the payments and the receipts.
However, when selecting the open items the system gets stuck, as it is always using Amount (WRBTR) as the single selection criterion, and I have two documents with the same amount. So, I also want to use Assignment (ZUONR) as a criteria. I tried to use algortihm 015 to solve this, but I wasn't successful.
Has anyone came across something like this?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Joã

Hi Mohammed
In order to make bank account transfer automatically using bank statement, you need to ensure the following things:
1. Prepare a physical cash pool and ensure that the bank initiated sweep option is set to yes. Set up the concentration and subaccounts within whihc the transfer need to be made.
2. Upload/Enter the bank statement for the respective banks. The line type should be sweep in or sweep out as the case may be. Enusre that the corresponding bank account number is mentioned in the Agent bank account field. For example - You transfer $100 from account 100 to account 101. In the bank statement for account 100, the line type should be sweep out and in the Agent bank account field, enter the bank account number 101. Similarly for the bank statement of account 101, the line type should be sweep in and in the Agent bank account field, enter the bank account number 100.
Once this is done, run the program Sweep Transaction Generation program. This will create the cash flows automatically.
Hope this helps

Bank Account Reconciliation

FI Experts,
client do not have a clearing accoutn set-up for outgoign checks, therefore I am reconciling account manually first, before I introduce them to teh clearing accoutn. I updated the encashment field for all outstanding checks, now I need to enter the manual entries from teh bank statement.
Is this something that needs to be done thru J/E or is there a special T-code where I can enter begining balnce, wire transfers, etc. We do not have EBS yet any suggetsions in how I can do this reconcilaition in a more effective manner?
Regards,
Frank

Frank,
Eventhough you do not use EBS, there is a similar tool in Bank Accounting functionality call MBS (Manual Bank Statement), the configuration is very similar, but you don't have to deal with ABAP programming part of matching Bank codes and flat file uploading. You can create, set it up and combine business transactions, posting keys, posting rules and account symbols(*) for any given GL account for clearing and main bank accounts.
(*)The account symbols would help you to detail even more the level of the transaction (Ongoing Check, Incomming Wire, etc.)
After you have finished the settings you would be able to run transaction FF67 - Manual Entry, where you tell SAP initial balance of each bank account, enter you outgoing and incomming values and execute it. After it runs it automatically would post to the accounts (Main and Clearing) based on your settings and will automatically update the ending balance for the next month when run your manual bank statement again.
I hope this help you to solve your problem.

Automatic bank reconciliation with Electronic bank statement

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.

Automatic Payment Program-which of the bank accounts is chosen for payment

Hi Gurus,
I have a question related to Automatic Payment Program(F110). When Automatic Payment Program is run which bank account is chosen?
Is it the
1. Main Acount
2. Payment Sub account?
Also, why?
Kindly answer.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
In F110, the Payment Sub Account is selected for Payment(The Outgoing Bank Account). This is defined in FBZP in the node bank determination> Bank Selection> Bank Accounts.
The reason why this GL is selected is :-
1. When you make Payment: -
Vendor A/C...Dr.
To Outgoing Bank Account
2. Bank Reconciliation
Outgoing Bank Account Dr.
To main bank Account
The entry to the main bank Account is posted only when the information that the cheque is encashed by the vendor is sent by Bank in Bank Statement. The Main bank Account is the balance as per Bank Books. So, till the time, we do not receive info from bank that the cheque is encashed, the amount lies in Outgoing bank Account and it is transferred to main bank account only upon final confirmation from bank.

SAPFICO

Automatic Payment Run - Alternate Bank Account in Vendor Master

Dear Forum,
We have a situation where the users want the alternate bank accounts to be maintained in the Vendor Masters and also to select this alternate bank account while doing the automatic payment run thru F110. While we can maintain more than one bank account in the Vendor Master, but how to select the alternate one during payment run. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi...
As per your issue while runing APP in F110 once complete parameters
And go to Edit praposal and double click vendor and double click on line items than it will displays the one more screen there select Reallocate button there you can enter your respective bank details.
Otherwise there is a Business Transaction Event 1810. You can see the code, looks like you need to replicate the vendor bank details with link to a company code.
Note:
Assign Multiple Bank Accounts in the Vendor Master
Your SAP system provides the functionality to store and use
information from multiple vendor bank accounts in the Payment
transactions screen of the vendor master general data via
transaction FK03 (Figure 1). Figure 1 reflects the bank type
determination logic I used in the vendor master, using the
three-digit International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
currency code as the Bank type.
Figure 1 Bank details vendor master
You can use the BnkT (bank type) field in the vendor master to
enter text differentiators for identifying the vendoru2019s bank
accounts. If you leave the bank type field blank against a bank
account in the vendor master, then it serves as the default bank
if the bank type information is missing in the vendor invoice.
You may want to leave this field blank if the vendor has only
one bank account and you want the system to select that bank
account for all payments.
If the bank type is blank for multiple bank accounts, then the
system looks for the first bank account with the blank bank type
in the vendor master to use as the default. You are not required
to define the text values u2014 in my example, INR, SGD, and USD u2014
elsewhere in your SAP system. The field allows any value up to a
length of four characters. Iu2019ll demonstrate the use of bank type
with vendor invoice later on.
The system performs a check at the time of invoice creation on
the bank type value used in the vendor invoice against the bank
type values used in the vendor master. If you have not defined
the bank type value in the vendor master prior to using it in
the vendor invoice, the system shows an error message. The
system performs the check to ensure that you are using a bank
type value in the vendor invoice against which it can find a
bank account in the vendor master. Otherwise, the system cannot
determine a bank account for making payments to the vendor.
Prerequisites for Vendor Bank Selection
You need to take care of a few configuration prerequisites before
you can use vendor bank selection in the automated payment
functionality.
1. Check the Bank details check box in the payment method as
defined at the country level in transaction FBZP. This ensures
the selection of the bank details from the vendor master at the
time of the automatic payment run. If you donu2019t do this, the
system does not copy the bank details into the payment IDoc that
it creates as a result of the automated payment run (transaction
F110).
2. Make the Bank Business Partners field optional in the field
status group attached to the vendoru2019s reconciliation G/L account
by selecting the button under Opt. Entry for this field. This
field maps to the Part.bank type (partner bank type) field in
the vendor invoice. If the Bank Business Partners field is not
optional and is in a suppressed state, then you cannot input the
partner bank type field in the vendor invoice.
I hope it will helps you....

Bank reconcilation ff67: bank account change

Hello
I have one question can some body help me out in that. we have some company code in those company code we have different bank account but at the time of creation In bank master we did one mistake and assigned one account in two company and after that we did reconciliation process through ff67 now if we are going to change the bank account is it going to make some difference when one company code reconciliation is done.
It is allowing me to change but I just want to were it is going to give impact and what will be the implication after changing bank account.
Thanks
Ashish

FF67 is used in the case of manual bank data upload. The bank sends u a statement and user manually enters the data in the FF67 screen. When u enter the bank details the opening balance directly comes from the main GL attached to the bank.
When all the postings are entered in the subsequent screen, the closing balce will be calculated.
The FF67 gives u the exact cash position available at the main bank account. The closing balance shld match the Main bank GL in all cases...

Bank Accounts and Reconciliation

Hi, Greetings of the day!
I don't understand why 3 GL accounts required for one bank, namely Bank Main Account, Bank Receipt Account and Bank Payment account. Why can't all these be controlled by one single GL account.
Regards
Chirag

Hi:
In normal business scenario there are many cases that checks gets bounced,delayed clearing from banks and many ohter issues. Furthermore you know there are different modes of collection if we talk about customers ,like getting Post dated checks from them, current dated checks. Checks may get bounced. As a matter of financial prudence you should reflect the only realistic bank balance in your main account. SAP caters this need by requiring businesses to maintain three or sometime four (4ht for Post dated checks). Collections and payments are recorded in incoming and outgoing bank accounts respectively as soon as they are received or paid. These two accounts are kept on Open item management which shows that they need to be cleared. Once you receive bank statement from bank showing the deposits in incoming accounts and payment made via outgoing account you execute Bank reconciliation statement.
Cash falsification can be avoided too using clearing bank account concepts. Normally a business has so many branches across the country, in branches which are more often considered as collection and sales centers, we give authorization of incoming bank account to them, if we start using one main account then they will start playing with bank which can lead to risk of fraud.
Clearing accounts provides fundamentals for bank reconciliation statement . If you do not want to use clearing account then BRS will of be no use for you. You can then simply use main account for all cash disbursements and collections.. The best idea in this case will be to give end users authorizations to park the transaction in main bank account , and a senior should have the authority to post the transactions. I hope it will help you clearing your concerns.

Hi All,
In FF67 below document no. not posted. I tried to post it from FEBAN also.
Vendor payment 1500004860 - Amount 1164.50 USD(261,648.24 LKR)
Vendor Payment 1500005009 -Amount 2346.00 GBP (309,244.32 LKR)
When comes to 'Post with Clearing Process open items' screen gives the error msg "No Batch input data for screen SAPDF05X 3100.
I tried to post it from FEBAN also but due to exchange rate differences its showing error. My all bank accounts are maintained in LKR currency.
In below screenshot i am getting the different amount than which i want to clear.
Please Suggest.
Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi Mukhtar,
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to post this difference to any account. Shall I achieve this with any interpretation algorithm or with Value date field as in variant for clearing outgoing bank account. So system will pick the reference as value date for clearing of bank payment related transaction in different currency.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Ashish.
