  • Automatic clearing for bills of exchange

    HI,
    We are looking at ways to make a automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange.
    Does anyone who knows the way to make this recording from f.13 or similar tcode?
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    Dear Emanuele,
    In reference to your question about f.13 and automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange please note the following
    The clearing of special G/L processes e.g. BOE, requires a more complex treatment as you can find in the following description. Please also review the documentation of SAPF124.
    The following items are not cleared by SAPF124
    o   Noted items
    o   Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions (down
        payments and bills of exchange)
    o   Items containing withholding tax postings (country-specific).
    BoE is special transaction and should be handled only using mentioned below transactions:
    1) invoice (p. ex. TA: F-22)
    2) payment run (TA: F110 / F-36 / FBW2)
    3) presentation of BoE (TA: FBWE / F-33 - Discounting
                                       F-34 - Collection
    4) clearing of document (TA: FBW4 / F-20)
    5) customer does not pay (TA: FBZG)
    Hope this information is helpful to you. I could not find any program for automatic clearing, you can check FBWD which is a manual process to clear bill of exchange.
    Kind Regards

  • Process for bill of exchange receivables

    Hello,
    I would like to understand the correct way of the process for the bill of exchange receivalbes.
    1. Posting of bill of exchange t-code F-36
    2. Maintain bill of exchange liability t-code F_72
    3. Presentation to bank t-code FBWE
    Is this correct? Which  usage do we need to enter in F-36?
    At the moment I have problems to get the documents available for F_72. When we post F-36 with usage D the documents are not available to maintain the liability.
    Or is there any transaction missing?
    Is F_72 required in any case?
    Thank you.

  • Printing SAPscript for Prenumbered Bill of Exchange under RFFOUS_C

    Hi collegues,
    We are developping a sapscript to create a prenumbered bill of exchange that is to be printed with advice, all in the same page.
    We have use sapscript F110_EN_CHECK to make copy ZF110_CHECK but we are not managing to print it correctly under RFFOUS_C, because it doesn't cover BOE's but checks... but our problem is that RFFO__D doesn't seem to manage prenumbered forms.
    Which changes should be done on RFFOUS_C and F110_EN_CHECK to get both things: prenumbered BOE and advice.
    Or maybe, we are not facing this issue in the most suitable way and there are other choices we should take into account?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rushid

    We have finally managed to print a prenumbered BOE. We have created ZRFFOUS_C report as a copy of RFFOUS_C and ZRFFORI02 include as a copy of RFFORI02 - BOE and assigne it to ZRFFOUS_C after RFFORI01 include.
    On include ZRFFORI02 we have changed the entries for text element '555' to be '545' and 'MAIN' window to be 'CHECK'.
    Afterwards. we have included on window CHECK on sapscript ZF110_BOE (copy of F110_ES_CHEQUE) three elemts: WEFIW(2) WEFIW4 and WEFAE6.
    Now we are able to print prenumbered BOE.
    i hope this will help someone in a future.

  • Pre-numbered Bills of Exchange - Accounts Payable

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help...within the payment program I have configured payment method -Bill of Exchange with the standard special ledger indicator 'W' and the standard print program RFFOUS__W. With this standard functionality is there any way I can use pre-numbered Bills of exchange (like cheques)?
    Thanks
    PC

    Dear all,
    the SAP Standard System offers the following                                                                               
    2 formats:CSB32 and CSB58                                                                               
    In the FBWE you can enter either ES01 (CSB32) or ES02 (CSB58) a                      
    files will then be created automatically without having to run                       
    report RFFOES_D.                                                                               
    Please notice that CSB32 can not be obtained by RFFOES_D.                                                                               
    The format CSB32 will only be created automatically by FBWE.                                                                               
    FBWE does not create data set for CSB19 format. This format is                       
    available in the report RFFOES_D but not for bill of exchange                        
    presentation carried out by the standard program FBWE.                               
    Please additionally read SAP note 101440.
    I hope this helps.

  • Template AR INVOICE with BILL OF EXCHANGE

    Hello everyone
    I'm looking for in SAP Business One a Template of AR INVOICE with in the footer a bill of exchange as this example :
    Thanks for your help.
    Have a good day.
    Stéphane.

    Dear Maccioni,
    the italian ri.ba postings are the following ones:
    1. INVOICE POSTING by FB70, F-22
    2. BILL OF EXCHANGE ISSUE by F110  or manually by F-36
    3. BANK PRESENTATION by FBWE
    4. CREDIT MEMO POSTING
    When the bank credits the account with the amount of bank receipts, it
    is necessary to carry out a manual collection posting: Debits: Bank
    current account; Credits: Bank - Bank receipts for collection account
    (transaction F-06).
    5. ACCRUAL
    The accrual can be executed according to two different methods:
    1.Manual: transaction F-20;
    2.Through the running of program RFWOBL00 (by means of a daily
    job); this program has three functions:
    -it posts the accrual;
    -it posts the risk;
    -it reverses the previous overdue risk;
    6. FAILED PAYMENT TRANSACTION by FBZG, Report RFBITB01
    Before You should create:
    by OBYN the special G/L Account with the special indicator W
    Create by FBZP an R payment method for bill of exchange to be used.
    I hope this can help.

  • Bill of exchange receivable

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Can I have the configuration steps for Bill of exchange Recievable alongwith the related forms' names (for India)?

    Hi,
    Bills of exchange receivable are managed using the special G/L method in the SAP System. When posting a bill of exchange receivable, you normally clear open items or post the payment as a payment on account. The system posts a bill of exchange receivable to the customer account and reduces the receivables from goods and services on the reconciliation account. The bill of exchange receivable is also automatically posted to the special G/L account for bills of exchange receivable in the general ledger. Information on posting a bill of exchange receivable can be found in Posting Procedure for Bills of Exchange Receivable
    You can monitor the existing bill of exchange receivable at any time via the customer account. The special G/L account for bill of exchange receivables shows you the total amount of bill of exchange receivables that exist for the customers represented in this account. Bills of exchange receivable are not canceled until they have been cleared.
    Once you have presented the bill of exchange to a bank for financing, you post the bill of exchange usage. You now have a bill of exchange liability since, as a drawer, the bank has liability to recourse if your customer fails to honor the bill. This potential liability is posted to a bank subaccount and deleted once it has expired.
    If you wish to pass on bills of exchange to a bank, the presentation list required can be created automatically. If you like, you can also arrange for bill of exchange usage to be posted automatically or for posting to be prepared. This only applies to bills of exchange posted before the due date of the invoice, as is the case in Italy.
    You can find out what preparations are necessary for bill of exchange usage in Posting the Usage of a Bill of Exchange Receivable
    Once the bill of exchange is due for payment and any protest period has elapsed, you can cancel the bill of exchange receivable and the bill of exchange liability. You can define a country-specific bill of exchange protest period in Customizing.
    Bill charges are normally passed on to the customer. The system posts these amounts to the customer account and the corresponding revenue accounts. You can find out what preparations are necessary for the bill charges statement by referring to Bills of Exchange Receivable: Bill Charges
    For bank bills and bill of exchange payment requests, there are certain special features that must be borne in mind when drawing-up and posting these items. Bank bills and bill of exchange payment requests are most common in Spain, France, and Italy
    Hope thbis helps.
