CE Bank Statement Auto-Reconciliation failure

Hey guys,
We have this problem about auto-recon not finding a match even if the bank statement line has an equivalent available
transaction for reconciliation. I am guessing it doesn't refer to the amount as the matching criteria. I checked Oracle support but it's only the Journal entries that refer to line description as the only matching criteria and I have AR lines that are not auto reconciled.
What am I missing?
How do I set the matching criteria, be it AP, AR or JE??
I'm sorry if these are such newbie questions..
Thanks in advance!

Hello.
Does this helps you?
Matching Bank Statement Lines with Transactions
Reconciling bank statements in Cash Management has two major steps: matching and
clearing.
• Matching: Match a bank statement line against a Payables payment, Receivables
receipt, Payroll payment, miscellaneous transaction, or open interface transaction
using a transaction number (such as the payment or deposit number), bank
account, amount, and currency. You can match a statement line against a Treasury
settlement using date and amount. You can also match a statement line against a
General Ledger journal entry. You can match a bank statement against a Payroll EFT
payment by using transaction number and date.
If matching criteria are not met, the statement line remains unmatched.
For manual reconciliation, there are no restrictions for matching statement lines
and transactions.
• Clearing: Clear the transactions that are matched to the bank statement line, if the
transactions have not been cleared previously. Only Payables payments, Receivables
receipts, miscellaneous transactions, and open interface transactions can be
cleared. Reconciled Payroll payments and General Ledger journal entries are
matched but not cleared.

Bank Statement for Reconciliation

Dear All,
What is the disadvantage if we can use Electronic Bank Transfer for Bank Reconciliation.
There are two main obstacles in Customizing to quick and efficient installation of the electronic bank statement:
Creating the files UMSATZ.TXT and AUSZUG.TXT is a complex process. Experience has shown that many implementation errors arise from incorrect creation (format errors) of these files. Using actual files from the bank is also difficult as the files are usually very big.
The open items to be found and cleared using the electronic bank statement must usually be entered into the (test) system manually and with correct clearing information. This information must also exist in the correct fields in the individual line items in the UMSATZ.TXT file (for example in the note to payee fields).
The above information provided in Electronic Bank Statement Implementation Tool as per Best Practice document.
Also understand that many obstacles and other problems faced by many implementation.
Is Manual Bank Statement uploading is advisable ?
Reuqest your help and guidelines.

Electronic Bank Statement Auto Recon by Amount

Hi,
I have a question, is there any config that can disable automatic reconciliation by amount from EBS? I have test and it always recon by amount beside by reference or document number.
My case is :
company code    amount     document number
1000            1000       20000000001
1000            1000       20000000002
then I make MT940 format like this:
:60F:C111026IDR10550450
:61:1110260233D1000NTRF
:86:2000000001
:61:1110260233D1000NTRF
:86:1234sdfsdf
:62F:C111026IDR10548450
After i run FF_5, statement with document number "1234sdfsdf" keep posted to journal and clear my open item. I want statement "1234sdfsdf" block and shown red in FEBA. Is there any solution?
Thx,
Glenn

Hello,
Reconciliations resulting from the following scenarios cannot be cancelled, and therefore when marking such reconciliation, the Cancel Reconciliation button is disabled:
- Creating Incoming or Outgoing Payment for specific transactions.
- Creating A/P or A/R Credit Memo based on existing document.
- Reversing transaction by using the Reverse option in the Journal Entry
window.
- Cancelling transaction by using the Cancel option in Data menu.
For further details on Reconciliation in 2007A version please refer to note 1051038, this will guide you to complete set of information on the subject.
Please follow the steps below to reach the reconciliation landing page:
1. Log on to the global SAP Channel Partner Portal.

Txn FF67 (Process manual bank statement) auto printing

Hi SAP,
Why after i post individual statement in Txn FF67, the system produce report (auto printing). Is there any way to stop the printing eg: in config or any settings? Because it waste our paper. We don't need that report. I did check in maintain user profile Txn SU3 but the box button print immediately is already unchecked.
I will give points for those who help me solve this problem.
TQ
Regards,
Nazrul

Hi,
Please refer SAP Note No.549119, it gives where all the possibilities of auto printing.
I am just copied the relevant text for you.
[4] Question: How do I activate the immediate print?
Response:
There are three places where you can set the immediate print indicator:
in the fixed values of the user
in the report variants of the print programs
by planning a batch job
If at least one of the three flags is set, the immediate print is activated.
Can you please check and let me know.

Ravi

Bank statement lines are unreconciled status even after the auto recon

In Cash Management, Bank Statements Loaded, Imported and Reconciled, but for the AP Transactions bank accounts there are few statement lines that are in unreconciled status and few are in reconciled status.
IN bank statement line the Error code was : No matching payment, No matching Open Interface transactions, No matching payment batch,

Hi,
1) please check whether you are using the correct bank statement for reconciliation in case if you have multiple bank accounts / Statements.
2) Check whether the payments that were unreconciled were all functional currency or foreign currency payments ...in which case exchange rates might be causing this ..

BANK STATEMENT RECONCILIATION INTERFACE

Hi,
I have a requirement to work on 'BANK STATEMENT RECONCILIATION' interface. These are used to reconcile the AP and AR activity through Cash Management module in Oracle Applications.
I am very new to this, could you anyone guide me how to proceed.
1.I am getting bank statements in BIA2 and SWIFT940 format. Could anyone tell me what is the difference between these two types.
2. what is record id, record code in these type of data files, how to link these with interface tables.
3. Is there any standard program to load data from these data files to interface tables? or, Do i need to write a package to load data into interface tables.
4. If i need to write a package, could any one tell me validations for headers and lines, and tables to be used in those validations.
Experts, kindly guide me to get it done.
Thanks in advnace.

Yes there is a standard oracle concurrent program available,
Search the concurrent program name: Bank statement Reconciliation in the cash management
The Bai2 and Shift90 are the formats of transmission of the bank data. Mostly Bai2 is used world wide for the transmission.
What version of application are you using?
Thanks,

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.

Reconciliation between Bank statement and G/L

Good afternoon,
We're integrating our bank statements electronically and manually. Sometimes, the statement gets integrated, but the G/L accounts in FI are not updated; or the information in the statement is not correct and therefore the statement information in FEBA is not synchronized with the G/L.
Is there any program or report that shows the discrepencies between FEBA and the G/L postings? Or does anyone know any way on how to manage this?
Thanks and regards,
Marlies

It all depends on the posting rules that you have configured for the reconciliation.
You tell the system on what basis the GL acounts should get hit and cleared, which area that rule should post adn what is symbol that you use for this.
When the system is not finding a corresponding match it is an exceptioin and will bot post to the respective areas.
So you need to post them using FEBA manually with the judgment to which accounts this should get post to.
It seems you need to relook at your configuration based on the current errors you have encountered. Take each error as a scenario and trouble shoot. This way you can minimize your manual intervention.

Advice Bank Statement and External Reconciliation Report

I am looking for suggestion on how to prepare a Bank Reconciliation Report for Checks in Crystal Report. I have short listed Tables ORCT and RCT1 for Incoming Payments and OVPM and VPM1 for Outgoing Payments. My main concern is how to differentiate between Reconciled and Non Reconciled Checks. As Seen under Banking -> Bank Statement And External Reconciliation-> Manual Reconciliation Under cleared column.

You can go to Administration> System Initialisation>Company details> basic initialisation> (check) Bank Processing.
Also, you need to do a few set ups before you start using the bank statement facility. You can find this in SET Up> Banking> Bank Statement Processing.
When you check this, you would be able to see the Bank Statement Processing Form in the banking module.
all the information that you might need for the Bank Statement Processing for versions A and B can be found in the Portal under the following path:
SAP Portal -> Support -> Documentation Resource Center -> Modules and Features -> Bank Statement Processing (BSP)
Hope the documentation helps you.
