CM: control counts in a BAI-formatted bank statement file

Hi,
Having a dispute with the bank. We're currently using the bank's propietary bank statement file. We're trying to move to one of the standard formats, in this case, the BAI (actually BAI2) format. So we're testing their BAI-formatted bank statement file.
However, one of the control counts in a test file is off. Oracle CM is flagging this. The total credits control count in the file is not the same as counted during the processing of the file by Oracle CM. At issue are float adjustment transactions which are in the file but not counted in the file's total credits control count, re: BAI type code 100 in record type 03 contains the total credits control amount and the total credits control count.
Float adjustment transactions are described as credit detail transactions (which have a BAI type code of 397). They are non-monetary transactions and thus their associated credit amount is 0. Are these transactions part of the total credits control count? Per BAI specs, I believe that they are counted.
Thanks, Mike

Some more information:
- this is first bank statement for this account
- i've tried setting up rules that map the external tcodes to various processing types with same result
I think it's simply calculating the opening balance by subtracting the Total Credits from the Total Debits.
Opening Balance       532.573,91-
Total Debit             3.721,99
Total credits         536.295,90
Closing Bal.                0,00
Is this normal behavior?

Format file problem uploading electronic bank statement files FF_5 RFEBKA00

hello
I am facing a problem when uploading electronic bank statement files with the file format. The situation is as follows:
1- Electronic bank statement files are sent by FTP from the bank to a certain directory in AL11
2- we have developed a "z" program that just picks electronic bank statement files from AL11 directory and process them using standard FF_5 (RFEBKA00) program.
3- When processing some files had an error, when debugging we have verified that errors are caused by some "special" characters non Unicode as "®" (=Hex'AE') with UTF-8, a '#' is displayed.
SAP answers a question as follows:
AL11 is designed to display os-files (log-files, trace-files etc.)
from within the SAP-system for supporting purposes in order not to
logon to the os itself.
It was not designed to display any file-content in the system created
with any code-page.
AL11 opens the file in textmode with encoding option default, which
means UTF-8 in a unicode system and NON-UNICODE in the other case.
You cannot change this setting.
If you have the need to specify these options, depending on your files,
you can make a copy of report RSWATCH0 and customize the OPEN-statement
to yor needs.
On a Unicode system, the files need to be in Unicode format (UTF-8).
Eg:When you interpret a non-Unicode "®" (=Hex'AE') with UTF-8, a '#' is
displayed.
Case 1:
Who is creating those files? Are these files
1) created by you
2) are they written by a SAP application?
==>There are the notes 752835 and 747615 for cases like these.
In case 2) it may be that the application responsible for the file
download (not AL11!) should be the problem, considering note 752835.
There is also the possibility for you to convert the file to the correct format using our tool RSCP_CONVERT_FILE (note 747615).
System administrator has told me to copy standard RFEBKA00 program and modify the OPEN-statement but I am not agree because I think that the problem is when generating the files in bank's system and/or sending the files to SAP by FTP.
Does any body face a problem like this before? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
The files that are available in AL11 are in Unicode.
Can you convert them to text by using the following method and then try:
You must have mapped this directory and having access.
Right click on file
Open with: Microsoft Office Word
Then the pop-up comes: File conversion - bacs
Select Other encoding radio button
Then select "Unicode" from list
and say OK
Now the file is being opened in readable format:
File SAVE as PLAIN TEXT
Save the file in the same folder that you are referring to in AL11
Now if you try with this .txt file, it should work in FF_5
Thanks,
Ravi

BAI SWIFT, bank key , file processing question

Current setup:
System has Bank key 12345, Bank number 12345 setup. No SWIFT code
BAI file has SWIFT key "CITIBRBR" for Citibank in 02 header
EBS my bank account number "5555555" is tied to Bank key "12345"
Statement processing works successfully
Future setup:
System has Bank key 12345, Bank number 12345 and now SWFT code CITIBRBRXXX
BAI file has SWIFT key "CITIBRBR" in 02 Header
EBS Transaction type: my bank account number "5555555" is tied to Bank key "12345"
Now statement does not process.
House bank account table T012K contains aan entry with account number
5555555. There is no entry in the house bank table T012 with bank key CITIBRBR for this entry.
EBS Transaction type: my bank account number "5555555" is tied to Bank key "12345"
WHat I did:
1. changed EBS setup so I have 5555555 and CITIBRBR tied to transaction type
2. Created new bank key CITIBRBR and tied to house bank, That worked but data was incorrect. Citibank says that the data contains wrong information in bank key section.
How can this be fixed?

How to use the program "Generate test data for BAI bank statement" ?

Hi all,
I use the program RFEBKAT5 to create an Electronic Bank Statement file in BAI format ,but it doesn't generate the file .
I don't know how to generate the file.
Please help me !
Thanks all !

You need to suitably adjust your GL accounts for "Posting Offset Account" (Whisch is defaulted as ++++++++19" and Checkout/Funds Out/Funds IN GL accounts to your configuration.
Once you do this try generating the file again.

Bank Statement Clearing - Multicash

Hi FI Gurus,
This is in regard with Automatic Clearing of Incoming payments from
customers while uploading Electronic Bank Statement (Format Multicash)
for Germany.
We have setup the system to clear the Customer open items while
uploading the bank statement on the basis of document number. Bank
Statement comes with the Customer invoice document number and the same
gets cleared automatically after uploading the statement.
Customer Invoice Document number comes at field 18 in the bank
statement. An eg is herebelow where 100000034 is the Document number:-
"20320500";"4989127861";1727;17.03.08;84223600;"Gutschrift";"Gutschrift";0;"051";"2703";9850,00;0;33;14.03.08;"";"";"KD.NR.";"RE.100000034 VOM
28.02.08 E";"URO 9850,00 ./. 160,41
SK";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"MAX
JENNE";"";"21050000";"0053004559";"051";27031981
Now, the issue is to achieve the automatic clearing for the Cutover
open items. Since the cutover open items will be uploaded with the new
SAP Invoice Document numbers and Bank Statements will be coming with
old customer inovice document numbers, there will not be any automatic
clearing of these items.
Kindly suggest a wayout to clear these cutover open items while
uploading the bank statement. Would it be possible to clear the items
on the basis of Reference no. where old document number will be given
while posting the document in SAP and hence the Reference no in SAP and
document no in bank statement file at field 18 can be matched.
I hope I am clear in the question.
Thanks!
Vikash

The Posting date is not defined in the BAI file. The program should pick up the statement date in the BAI file and populate the posting date with the same value. In reading through the documentation for the program RFEBKA00 which is run via FF.5, I discovered that the include program RFEKA700 deals with BAI format. The file that is downloaded from the bank, contains multiple accounts and their respective activity for that respective day. When we import the file, all the other accounts are handled correctly. That is to say that the posting date that gets populated in the clearing document is set to the statement date from the file. The issue that we are facing has to deal with the last account being sent in the file. On this account, the activity is missing the posting date so the system sets the posting date to the current date. When I review the line items from the file in FEBA, the last activity item in the file has the correct posting date, the rest of the activity items do not have the correct posting date. I can review this information by looking at table FEBEP. On the last records for the Bank Statement Date's file, associated with the last account in the file, field BUDAT does not have anything populated in the field.
I am at a total loss as to why this would work for all the other accounts and only the last activity item on the last account when I process the file.
Suggestions?

Bank Statement Interface

I'm working at a site setting up Cash Management for the first time in the UK - they want to import bank statements using Barclays Business Manager software - the format that seems most useful is BAI - does anyone have the specification of the fields in a BAI format file and / or written this interface in the past ?

Hi Tan,
Based on the external transaction type, you will link to the posting rules. Yes there are so many subfields, available if you see 61 fields, it tells you about the payment you have received/made, it gives the line item details of a particular transaction.
My sincere request is dont look at the bank statement and do the configuration. Do the configuration first and then SAP provides one program RFEBKATX. Using this program you can create a bank statement file and customer line items. Once after bank statement file is created you can import it using FF_5 and if your configuration is not properly made, it will let you know where you are missing. But this program will generate bank statement file in multi cash. How ever if your configuration is correct and if you are able to import bank statement, then there will not be any difficulty in importing MT 940.
Hope you understood.

Electronic Bank Statement clearing with FI-CA postings

Hello Everyone,
FI-CA transfer to General Ledger posting is done on summary basis. For ex- If there were 2 postings for $100 each, then when the transfer is done from FI-CA to G/L, it posts $200, but bank is going to send information for 100 with record 16 (BAI) and one more record for $ 100, Thus sending 2 records.
How do i reconcille these 2 items automatically in bank postings against one postings made from FI-CA, through FF_5 upload.
Is there any algorithm for clearing FI-CA, or can we send send individual postings to G/L from FI-CA, so bank statment is reconcilled properly.
I would really appreciate your help.

The Posting date is not defined in the BAI file. The program should pick up the statement date in the BAI file and populate the posting date with the same value.

Electronic Bank Statement - Check register not updated with encashment date

I need help in Electronic Bank Statement. After uploading the bank statement file, i got the document number posted, but when i looked in Check register for the checks it's still showing up as outstanding check and there is no encashment date updated with this check.
We received file from bank in BAI format and use t.code ff_5 to upload the bank statement file. Algorithm 011 already assigned in Config. Please help me to solve this issue.

Encashment field did not get updated....
This happens to us in the following instance...
Our checks numbers are as follows with zeroes in front... 0000000121558
The BAI file from the bank has the number listed as 121558. We have a process to convert the BAI file to a .txt format and add seven zeroes in front of the number in the file before processing. We had a new user that forgot this step. Without the zeroes added to the file to match the check numbers, our encashment field did not get updated. We had to do it manually.

SAP MT940 bank statement interface to SAP

Dear expert,
We plan to integrate the bank statement in SAP MT940 format to SAP. Can you please kindly share if you have any information on how to configure the SAP for uploading the SAP MT940 format?
The configuration guide that I have is : FI Electronic Bank Statement from SAP R/3; based on this guide the recommended bank statement format is in Multicash Format.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance.
Best regards,
DTan

Error while uploading Bank Statement in FF.5

Hello all
I am getting the following error while uploading the Bank Statement file in FF.5-
Termination in statement no. 00000 of acct ; closing record 62F missing
The file format is MT940.
Can somebody throw some light on this message if any1 has encountered this.
Thanks in advance
Hrishikesh

Hi,
The error itself is telling u that the closing balance in the bank statement is missing. Check the MT940 format statement in that check whether field 62F is present or not. If that line is missing then system cant understand the format.

Electronic Bank Statement - automatic clearing via Assignment number

Dear all,
when posting our outgoing cheques, the cheque number is copied to the assignment field (via an automatic job). Our cheque numbers have 6 digits.
When we are getting in the bank statement file the cheque number is populated in the 'Note to payee' (same number in "Reference" field), but instead of 6 digits, the bank adds additional 6 digits / zeros infront of the cheque number. Meaning that instead of 005217 we get 000000005217.
We want to use the automatic clearing with the link between 'Note to payee' and 'Assignment field'.
The following settings were done in the system:
1. Posting rules: "4 Clear debit G/L acct"
2. Search string definition:
1. 0 > ' ', 2. 0 > ' ', 3. 0 > ' ', 4. 0 > ' ', 5. 0 > ' ', 6. 0 > ' ', 7. # > #, 8. # > #, 9. # > #, 10. # > #, 11. # > #, 12. # > #
3. Search string use:
- Algorithm 015: Clearing Transaction: Selection Using Assignment
- Target field: Payment Notes
With those settings the system does not find the items to clear.
Does anybody know what is missing?
Thanks!
R, Katharina

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.

FF_5 Bank Statement Upload Error

Hello Experts,
I have a bank statement file in a specific share drive path and when I import this file using transaction FF_5, it gives the error message (FB 704) File \Accounts\ Bankstatements upl in disk drive J: cannot be opened.
But I am not getting the error messages for the similar type of other Banks file in MT940 format stored in the same path but in the other folder within the same path and same drive.
On the other hand, when I change the location of the bank file and also the folder in which the file is stored within the same drive or move it to my C drive, I am able to successfully upload the file.
Can any one suggest to me how to over come this error ? Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards
AJ

Hi,
AL11 - You can create the folders. These are the folders in application server. Nothing but they are create in one of your network drive but linked to AL11 by your basis consultant.
You should not upload the bank statement from your local drive due to security concerns. There are chances that the file values can be manipulated. The file you are uploading from presentation server.

Ravi
