BAI File format User Guide

Hello Friends - Can someone pls provide any link to get BAI File format User Guide.
Is there any change in file format (BAI) between Banks or it will be the same among all the Banks?
Thanks

Hello GT,
BAI is the standard file format across the world.
Where Code.
010 for Opening Ledger Balance
015 for Closing Ledger Balance
100 for Total Credits
101 to 399 for Incoming Payment
400 for Total Debits
401 to 699 for Outgoing Payment.
You can find more details for each code in the below link.
https://www.key.com/kttu/pdf/tkBAI2.pdf
These codes are vary in the file between bank to bank. For example, ACH Settlements Debit.
Some banks use code 466 and some are use 455. But they always use from 101 to 399 for Incoming Payment and 401 to 699 for outgoing payment.
Please let me know if you have any further doubts.
Regards,
Kalim

Electronic Bank Statement BAI file format

Hi,
I am trying to upload electronic bank statement with BAI file format. When I select the file and executed in FF_5, it is not giving any error. Nothing is happening. The same file I have used I was able to upload it. I am searching where it went. I have maintained complete configuration.
Then I have prepared a simple file on my own in text format, that simple file is working fine and able to upload.
Can somebody have any idea why it might have gone wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi

all the file lines are filled with " in the beginning and at the end. Then I replace all those " values and I am able to upload the file. I am not sure how these " values are placed in the file.

BAI flat file format?

Hello All,
Can any one tell me, can we process the BAI falt file in PI7.1 system.

Hi Chinna,
This file is used for SAP financial purposes and this does interact mainly with the Banks. Banks have different format like bai, bai2 etc. BAI and BAI2 formats differ in their level of information detail. BAI does not separate out the incoming check line items by invoice subtotal reference. Conversely, BAI2 splits the check total into separate invoice references and associated payment amounts. As a result, your hit rate percentage of payment-invoice matching from each transmission is likely to be higher when using BAI2 rather than BAI formats.
Now coming to your question that you are getting a bai file and you need send to sap. Usually how we approach this is we will read the legacy file with file adapter and then will convert into the bai file format and drop the converted file on a shared drive. There are standard programs in sap which picks this file and loads the data in sap. If your client has different structure then the abaper may need to change the program accordingly.
The Bai file format you can take a look here:
https://businessonline.huntington.com/common/cms/help/BAI1Technical%20Ref%20Manual.pdf
Also please look into this help:
Note 86952 - El. bank statemt:BAI format (you can see the standard programs here)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/0d/1a4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/frameset.htm
The bottom line is the standard program in SAP expects this format and you using PI will make this file from your legacy file. How it loads into sap can be find from any of your FI consultant, he will be aware of all this.

EBS - BAI2 file format

Hi Guys
We are using BAI file format as the format which has been send by our banker and the same is working fine. T- Code used to upload is FF_5 and the algarithm used is 011
Now our banker has changed the file format to BAI2
In the given file we have cheque number in 16, 475 line and we are using 011 as algarithm. When we upload via FF_5 the first entry is passed for debiting the Cash Disbursement account by crediting Cash Main Bank account, this is in the file with ZBA transfer credit
When it comes to the second entry of debit check clearing a/c to cash disbursement account credit, we are getting an error as the difference is two large. When we checked the same, the system is picking document number as * and hence the entire list is displayed without selecting the correct payment document number with cheque number which is in the reference of the payment document number
To take it further, we have changed the algarithm to 015, where the cheque number is given in the assignment field in the payment document number. In this case the system picks the leading five zero which is available in the uploaded file along with the /
We tried to remove all the leading zero in the upload file from the cheque number which is available in the line 16, 475 as well as the / in that line and the system gave the correct output
In the above, we are not sure why 011 algarithm is not working ( we tried by giving only the BELNR, only XBLNR, BELNR and XBLNR etc) the output was always " the differnce is too large for clearing ) since the algorithm has not searched for the proper document AND in case 015 algarithm, why the system is taking leading zero as well and why its picking the \ in the assigment while its clearing. Because of this / the system is not picking the cheque number
Can any one show some light on this
Thanks - Bala

Hi Guys
We are using algorathim 011 for our EBS. The file format from our banker is BAI2
When we are uploading the statement, the accounting entries got cleared. But the issue we face is encashment date is not updated in FCH1 (Check Information)
With this if we check, at any point of time in the check register the entire check are still open. We have verified the following why the check encashment date is not updated
- In line 88, checked MICR ACCT and MICR ABA is same as our bank key in our house bank configuration
- Checked the Global setting on EBS, for external transaction 475 the interpretation logic is 011 and processing type is "clearing with check"
- Verified the check lenght
After all this if we upload any EBS statement using FF_5, the accounting entries are posted and not the encashment date is updated in FCH1
Thanks in advance
Bala

Processing BAI Files

i want to know how other companies are accessing thier bai files > are they gettting them via FTP or are they going out and downloading the standard bai file format from thier bank's everyday website

Bank will send BAI file format to the customer through FTP or VAN. FIle will be placed in application server and the standard SAP program (RFEBLB00) or FLB2 will be process to run the BAI file to clear the accounting documnets. BAI2 file contains more information to clear the accounting documents.
Let me know if that I answered your question.

FF_5 - Issue with Account Balance option while processing BAI file

Hi All,
We are getting a runtime error while trying to process the same bank file again through transaction FF_5 with 'Account balance' option checked. And the message says 'The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.' with the command 'Insert_FEBPI'. This happens only when we have combination of uploaded and not uploaded statements in the bank file.
I could find a OSS note for the same issue but that was for the file format MT942. We are using BAI file format. Can some one please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jalendhar

This is standard SAP functionality. If there are no applicable notes, then you should open an OSS message.

Acrobat 9 user guide? help files????

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
When I click on help I get an HTML page:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat%20Pro/9.0/help.html?con tent=WS76F8368A-2F01-421d-9437-06EEB1C68BA4.html
all it does is list community help, user forums, tutorials and articles..... there's a nice search box on the left, but anything I type in there results in absolutely nothing happening.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.... Is it too much to ask for, for an actual user guide that I can see a table of contents and search through it? How about a PDF User Guide? If there is one, why don't they show us where it is? You'd think for this amount of money it would include a user guide.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
