Changing the bank recon setup

Question

Hi,
we have to change one of the Account symbol and asociated account for the posting rules for electronic bank statements.
what other places do I need to make changes along with this..?
do routing to a different account affects the auto reconciliation..?
I would like to understand how the auto recon works in SAP..? after we set up all configurations like trans. types, posting rules, external transaction codes etc..
when we process the AUSZUG1 and UMSATZ1 files what all processes happens ?
thanks & reagrds

Hello,
Have you completed the configuration.
Please follow the following steps:
IMG => Financial Accounting => Bank Accounting > Business Transactions => Payment Transactions => Manual Bank Statement
Create and Assign Business Transactions: Here you give your external ID provided by the Bank, is it a plus or minus to your bank account, posting rule and Text. (Make sure before you have posting rules in place)
Define Bank Keys and Posting rules for your Manual Bank Statement: Give your chart of account.
1. Create Accounts Symbols (Freely definable)
2. Assign Accounts to Accounts symbols (Account symbol / Account modifier, normally +, your currency, masking rule of the GL account)
Hope you are familiar with Masking rule. Means, if you have bank main account ending with 0, for example 180000, cheque outgoing with 180001 and check incoming with 180002, then outgoing symbols you need to maintain +++++0 and for incoming symbols you need to maintain +++++0, by which your sub account and main account gets linked when you upload bank statement.
3. Create Posting Keys - Freely definable
4. Define posting rules - Most important, based on which your postings get happened.
Posting Rule, Posting area, Posting Key, Account Dr, Posting Key, Account Cr, Document Type, Posting Type.
The most important things are posting area, document type and posting type.
Posting area 1 - means that it gets posted to GL Accounting Posting area 2 means it get posted to Bank Sub Ledger Accounting
Document Type: this is important when you are posting to posting area 2, use KZ for vendors and DZ for customers, when using posting area 1, use normal document types or customized document type like ZR.
Drop down Posting Type: Configure based on your requirement. 1, 2, 3 is for posting 4,5,7,8 for clearing and 8 is for reset & reverse clear.
Hope this is useful to you.
