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.

Automatic clearing in electronic banking

Hi all,
I'm working with the electronic banking program to import statements and want to clear items from sub ledger accounts automatically.
From the tests I have done so far, it seems that SAP always tries to locate the business partner via the bank details FIRST. In other words:
IF business partner bank details are provided in the electronic bank statement
THEN SAP takes this as leading in order to determine the business partner
I do not want SAP to start the search via the bank account details. I have been using interpretation algorithm 020 (doc.number) and 031 (doc.number and customer from document) but still SAP always starts searching for the business partner based on the bank details.
My test case is as follows:
- I have a customer A without bank details maintained
- I have a vendor B with bank details maintained
- Customer A is in fact the SAME business parter as vendor B although they are not linked in their master data
Now Customer A makes a payment to me and the bank provides the bank details of the customer AS WELL AS the invoice number. SAP then starts matching and finds vendor B because the customer bank details are maintained in the vendor master. Clearing from the vendor does -of course- not take place because the invoice exists on the customer, not the vendor. So a payment advice is created which holds the vendor account AND the invoice number.
I cannot get SAP to avoid finding the vendor, and instead, find the customer with help of the document number that is also in the bank statement file.
Hope the case is clear, any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Jay,
Open items for G/L Accounts, Vendors and Customers can be cleared automatically by running the Clearing Program
Set up predefined criteria for automatic clearing (Configuration)
Program groups those items from an account that have the same
u2022 Trading Partner ID
u2022 Reconciliation Number
u2022 Currency in which the General Ledger is updated
u2022 Four freely definable criteria
The program groups together items from an account that have the same reconciliation account number, currency, and Special G/L indicator, as well as pre-defined criteria from the document header or item such as the allocation field, reference number and amount.
If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
Prerequisites for using the automatic clearing program:
u2022 Accounts must be managed on an open item basis.
u2022 Accounts to be cleared must be defined in customizing.
The automatic payment program does not clear noted items, statistical posting, down payments, bills of exchange and items with withholding tax entries.
When clearing open items in a foreign currency, differences may occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The system automatically posts these differences as realized gains or losses.
Config: IMG>FA>GL. Accounting>Business transactions>Open item clearing>Prepare automatic clearing.
AS well see the notes for better understanding.
Hope it gives better understanding.
Respectfully,
Vyas

GL account automatically cleared by the bank statemetn document

Hello all,
I would like to ask you a question.
We have done the payments by payment run to the vendor , FI document 2000008482 has been created, Then we received the bank statement which created the document 101481822 and the GL account used for this payment 2435000022 was automatically cleared by this bank statement documents 101481822
Usually they do manual clearing by f-03 but for the accoutn 2435000022 its automatic
I have 2 questions
1. where in customizing you set up this option that the GL account is automatically cleared when posting bank statement
2. if they need to reverse payment document, how this could be possible? as if they want to reset the clearing docuemtn, they would have to reverse the bank statement document
thanks for your feedback, its reallt apprecited
regards
Hana

You should feel happy if the system clears the payment document. This what the behavious is expected.
When you made the payment it goes to bank sub account, then when you upload the bank statement, then the system expects to clear based on the cheque number etc.
However, if you do not want you can still stop them from clearing and then entry only gets posted. But again, you will be doing the same job what the system is doing by using F-03 or F.13
Please check your posting type against the posting rule
SPRO ==> Bank Accunting ==> Business Transactions ==> Electronic Bank Statement -==> Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement ==> Posting Rules

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.
What is a swift message mt940 - 1Q5A
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20d2f203-4959-2e10-239f-bce48eef858d?overridelayout=t…

Electronic Bank Reconciliation - Automatic Clearing

We are uploading MT940 files for doing EBRS.
The statement are uploaded through Tcode FF.5.
As soon as it is uplaoded, the following two scenario will come
1. It clears Bank sub control account automatically & Post to main bank Account. ( Automatic)
2. It unable to clears sub control account & shows as " To be posted in FEBA".
I want to understand that on what basis/ criteria system clears it automatically.
Where we can see those criteria in the configuration.

We have uploaded MT940 file through /nff.5 .
The posting which has happened after MT940 was uploaded is
Dr Main bank account ( 190220) 500 INR
Cr. Bank Sub Control Account (190228) 500 INR
The entry which is their is sub control bank account posted on
Dr. Bank Sub control Account (190228) 500 INR
Cr. Customer Account 500 INR
Their is no other posting also with 500 in sub control account
But these are not cleared automatically & reflecting in FEBA as to be posted.
Now out 100 trnsaction the success rate of automatic clearing is 30%.
What could be the reason? Is it to do with date etc.
I undertand that clearing against ( two document ) is against some criteria.
then what those criteria are.

Customer Clearing on Electronic Bank Statement

Hi,
I am facing a problem to clear the customer open items.
Let me explain the situation.
The is an invoice on the Customer Account. The entry is:
Customer A/c Dr. 100
Sales A/c Cr 100
Now, I have received a bank statement, when I posted the receipt. When I posted electronic bank statement, the entry the system is going to post is:
Bank Main Account Dr. 100
Bank Sub Account Cr. 100
There is still a debit lying in the Customer and there is a credit lying in the Bank Sub Account. How can I clear these two accounts with each other.
Any valid inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravi

Why post to the clearing account? You can directly post to the customer account.
Debit Bank
Credit customer
For this you have to create a posting rule which will be linked to the external code (BAI code if you are getting the bank statement in BAI format) and the posting rule should have 'standard algorithm' assigned to it.
Then while uploading the bank statement you have to give the range of customer invoice numbers against BELNR or XBELNR. The system will automatically identify the customer based on the invoice number on Record type 16 appearing in Bank statement and clear the open item and generate the above accounting entry.
For a detailed description of how the EBS works, please see the thread titled EBS posted by Sheena Mehta and answered by me.

Automatic Import of Electronic Bank Statements (EBS)

Hi SAP Gurus,
We want to solve the following issue:
Daily we receive multiple Electronic Bank Statements by means of banking Communication Software (BCS).
Those EBS files are stored on our SAP Application Server, filetype = SWIFT MT940 format,
and the file name contains a date and time stamp.
File name example: MT940.90910077527_20101124_210421_167660
Currently the import of these EBS-files is done manually via transaction FF_5 (program: RFEBKA00).
We want to automate this import process.
Every time a new EBS-files arrives (in a specific directory) on the application sever
a signal (including the filename) should be send to SAP, so SAP knows there is a new EBS-file available for import.
SAP now runs program RFEBKA00, with the provide filename, in the background.
Any ideas how to do this?
Some tech. info:
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 64-bit
Oracle 10.2.0.4
SAP R/3 Enterprise 47x200
Thanks,
Roger Vanaubel

Hi
I think there are several ways to do it. In our case, we have a program which concatenates all received files into a single file and which launches RFEBKA00. It runs at fixed time, outside the working hours of accounting clerks. It is possible to trigger the program at file receipt, but there are problems if somebody is working in FEBA at the same time RFEBKA00 is working on the same bank account: then RFEBKA00 stops without doing all postings.
If you trigger RFEBKA00 at file receipt, you may have several jobs running in parallel, and if 2 bank statements received in separate files are for the same account, you will have the same problem.

Need to clear openitems for Bank Reconciliation without useing Algorithms

Dear All,
As per configuration of Manual Bank Reconciliation, for clearing cheque deposit & cheque issue we are useing Algorithms 15 & 13 respectively. while uploading Bank statement we used to give SIX digit cheque number as a reference to clear the open items (i.e the same cheque Number is used to enter by the user in Allocation field of GL Account)
But as a special case the user has entered more than SIX digit cheque Number in Gl Account. Now am unable to clear those open items, since bank statement is having six digit cheque Numbers only.
My question is if i want to clear the open items of cheque deposit, cheque issue, others without useing Algorithms... let me know the configuration with various specification parameters.
Regards,
Swathi

check that when you have assigned ext transcation code to posting rule that you have added it for correct signage eg a + is a credit to bank account.

Electronic Bank Reconciliation statement problem

Hi
I am executing ff_5 t.code some transaction has been posted and some of the tranactions are showing followoing error.
Error: (F5 263) The difference is too large for clearing
Regards
Venki

Hello,
There are various reason why this error could come
Try to post the Electronic Bank Statement in batch mode (SM35). You can then post the batch in foreground.
then you will see the exact error.
meanwhile, search for relevant notes also in service market place.

Automatic payments clearing in manual Bank Reconciliation Statement

Dear All,
When I run the manual BRS and session ( SM35 ) the payments are not clearing automatically.
But the deposits are clearing automatically.
I mean after SM35 it will take directly to the T.Code - FB05 there the deposits will clear automatically and the payments I have to clear manually.
Any one can explain why it is and how solve this.
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.

We have created the Bank Clearing Account as an open item management account. The account would be credited while making the payment to the vendor thru automatic payment run and debited once the payment has been cleared from the Bank.
