Customer Clearing on Electronic Bank Statement

Hi,
I am facing a problem to clear the customer open items.
Let me explain the situation.
The is an invoice on the Customer Account. The entry is:
Customer A/c Dr. 100
Sales A/c Cr 100
Now, I have received a bank statement, when I posted the receipt. When I posted electronic bank statement, the entry the system is going to post is:
Bank Main Account Dr. 100
Bank Sub Account Cr. 100
There is still a debit lying in the Customer and there is a credit lying in the Bank Sub Account. How can I clear these two accounts with each other.
Any valid inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravi

Why post to the clearing account? You can directly post to the customer account.
Debit Bank
Credit customer
For this you have to create a posting rule which will be linked to the external code (BAI code if you are getting the bank statement in BAI format) and the posting rule should have 'standard algorithm' assigned to it.
Then while uploading the bank statement you have to give the range of customer invoice numbers against BELNR or XBELNR. The system will automatically identify the customer based on the invoice number on Record type 16 appearing in Bank statement and clear the open item and generate the above accounting entry.

Customer enhancements in electronic bank statement

Hello Guys,
I have the following requirement for electronic Bank statement regarding customer incoming payments operations:
I need to clear Customer open items based on the bank data: the system should find the customer code based on his bank account number and clear the open items for this customer based on the amount and other text elements.
Do you know if I can use an existing function module or program to do so?
Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards

Automatic Clearing & Electronic Bank Statement

Hi,
During EBS processing, open items are automatically being cleared but only based on amounts. I've configure in OB74 that criteria for clearing should be amount & value date. It seems that EBS does not read the settings in OB74? Where is the correct path to set this up?
Does EBS really allows upload of bank statement even if ending and beginning balance are not equal? Is there a way to control this?
Thanks,
Chaikaru

Hi Chaikaru,
OB74 is not the path for EBP processing. OB74 is used for account clearing in F.13 or F13E.
You need to go to the path:-
SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Bank Accounting > Business Transactions > Payment Transactions > Electronic Bank Statement
You need to define interpretation algoritham. Please go through the below one:-
OSS Note 494777 - Customer enhancements in electronic bank statement
OSS Note 597428 - El.accnt statement: Customer-specific interpret.algorithms
OSS Note 549277 - FAQ: Electronic account statement

Statistics on automatic processed payments by the electronic bank statement

Hi fellow sap knowledge hungering colleagues.
I have set up the EBS application in my company and it has now run for 4 month with ok success.
I now have to do a follow-up on the project and therefore I'm interested in seeing how many payments have been automatic processed by the EBS application.
I cant seem to find any characteristics on the payment documents that separates the ones that have been automatically processed and those that have been post processed in the FEBA transaction. When each statement is imported you get a sum up on how many pay-ments where automatically processed but is it possible to see overall statistics for all the statements and if not is it possible to recall the statistics for each imported statement?

Hi,
the bank normally includes the details provided by the customer in the bank statement.
depending upon the information provided, the user can clear the customer line items. In order to auto clear using EBS, you can use enhancement FEB00001. You can have your logic to auto clear.
also refer the Note 494777 - Customer enhancements in electronic bank statement.

Electronic bank statement customer payment and invoice(s) clearing

Hi there,
I am configuring electronic bank statements and wanting to "increase the hit rate" of automatic clearing. For this, I have configured postings, posting rules, etc. and I am testing on a bank statement we receive from the bank (this is ABN Amro in Germany) and all works fine. I see it with FEBA and the line items are posted to GL ok. I then configured the define search string for electronic statements to search in the note to payee our invoice numbers, which also are our document numbers, that the customers pay. I linked the search string use to algo 20 Document number search. I also changed the external transaction type assignment so that the appropriate posting rule refers to algo 20 too. When I use the simulation prog FEBSTS, it shows me all the documents found in the note to payee of all the items, and displays the document numbers found that match the note to payee for the few cases I have set-up for testing. All this look to me very good.
My question is as follows. Despite the above, when I get to FEBA to post/clear the posting area 2 of the matching cases, SAP links to FB05 and asks me to select line items first of all, expecting that I enter either the customer id, or the document numbers. I don't understand this, and I don't understand why it does not get automatically to the matched documents and clear them automatically. I very probably am missing something, but I don't know what and I am somwhat stuck.
I would very much appreciate some hints as to what to do to make this work.
I thank you in advance.
Jean
PS. We are running SAPKH47025

Thks Ramesh for the hint but this did not change, although I changed this table so that it looks for BELNR only for all account type D.
When I hit save on the FEBA_bank statement line item to clear (in Posting Area 2)SAP brings me to the FB05 screen asking for either customer id or document no (invoice). If I feed this then it would clear the invoices I have prepared. What I would like is that SAP finds out these invoices by itself using the search I have configured which seems to work ok from the simulation transaction FEBSTS. Well when I say it works ok, this is because I see the invoice numbers that have been mapped, have been found. I also see in the Cat column the field BELNR, I see however that the column Partner remains empty (should that be filled with the customer number ?), and lastly I see that the last column Partner Type is a D for customer which looks OK.
If by any chance you have another path to drive me that would be great. Many thks

Electronic Bank Statement Search Strings Customer Item Clearing

I have configured EBS and I am trying to clear open items from customer accounts using Search Strings.
I have mapped the customer account on the bank statement to the SAP customer account. For example, Victor Osagie is mapped to account 1400036.
When I process transactions with exactly the same note to payee as above, open items in the customer account clear. However, when the note to payee field changes for example to Victor Osagie 110000000. The customer is recognised but the item is not cleared from the customer account.
The statement format is BAI and we are using the BAI processor.
How can I manipulate the search strings to allow the clearing of items like this?

Already Cleared Customer Items on Incoming Bank Statement

Please advise on how to treat the below:
1. A Customer Invoice is Cleared by a Cash Payment at the Cash desk.
This CR- Customer and DR- Bank Clearing Account.
2. The money comes in on the Electronic Bank Statement on a Business
Transaction Code (BTC) that is used for all incoming Cash payments and
that is set up to post to Posting Area 1 (GL Accounting) and also to FI-CA (Subledger Accounting).
This is because the BTC can be used also for cash payments at the Bank
counter and which needs to clear Open Items on the Customer when it
comes in on the Bank Statement.
This will correctly post DR- Bank Cleared Cash and CR- Bank Clearing
Account
Question: How do I treat the sub-ledger posting for the BTC FI-CA. This
is because there will be no open item to clear on the customer as it
has been cleared in a previous step at the cash desk and even though
the posting will go into Clarification, it will post CR- Clarification,
DR- Bank Clearing Account which means a doubled DR to the Bank Clearing
Account in addition to the earlier Dr from the Cash desk posting.
Look forward to your urgent reply.
Regards,

Why post to the clearing account? You can directly post to the customer account.
Debit Bank
Credit customer
For this you have to create a posting rule which will be linked to the external code (BAI code if you are getting the bank statement in BAI format) and the posting rule should have 'standard algorithm' assigned to it.
Then while uploading the bank statement you have to give the range of customer invoice numbers against BELNR or XBELNR. The system will automatically identify the customer based on the invoice number on Record type 16 appearing in Bank statement and clear the open item and generate the above accounting entry.

I tested interpretation algorithms 11 and 13, but still not use.
Can you please tell how can I clear the items in sub account (cheque outgoing account) based on the cheque number when I upload the bank statement.
Any valid suggestions will be highly apprecicated.

Thank you very much for your answer.
I tested with leading exactly same as FCHN but still somehow it is not working. Changing the electronic bank statement manually may not be possible due to security concern. They the bank statement is week and it has high volume of entries.

Automatic clearing in electronic banking

Hi all,
I'm working with the electronic banking program to import statements and want to clear items from sub ledger accounts automatically.
From the tests I have done so far, it seems that SAP always tries to locate the business partner via the bank details FIRST. In other words:
IF business partner bank details are provided in the electronic bank statement
THEN SAP takes this as leading in order to determine the business partner
I do not want SAP to start the search via the bank account details. I have been using interpretation algorithm 020 (doc.number) and 031 (doc.number and customer from document) but still SAP always starts searching for the business partner based on the bank details.
My test case is as follows:
- I have a customer A without bank details maintained
- I have a vendor B with bank details maintained
- Customer A is in fact the SAME business parter as vendor B although they are not linked in their master data
Now Customer A makes a payment to me and the bank provides the bank details of the customer AS WELL AS the invoice number. SAP then starts matching and finds vendor B because the customer bank details are maintained in the vendor master. Clearing from the vendor does -of course- not take place because the invoice exists on the customer, not the vendor. So a payment advice is created which holds the vendor account AND the invoice number.
I cannot get SAP to avoid finding the vendor, and instead, find the customer with help of the document number that is also in the bank statement file.
Hope the case is clear, any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Jay,
Open items for G/L Accounts, Vendors and Customers can be cleared automatically by running the Clearing Program
Set up predefined criteria for automatic clearing (Configuration)
Program groups those items from an account that have the same
u2022 Trading Partner ID
u2022 Reconciliation Number
u2022 Currency in which the General Ledger is updated
u2022 Four freely definable criteria
The program groups together items from an account that have the same reconciliation account number, currency, and Special G/L indicator, as well as pre-defined criteria from the document header or item such as the allocation field, reference number and amount.
If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
Prerequisites for using the automatic clearing program:
u2022 Accounts must be managed on an open item basis.
u2022 Accounts to be cleared must be defined in customizing.
The automatic payment program does not clear noted items, statistical posting, down payments, bills of exchange and items with withholding tax entries.
When clearing open items in a foreign currency, differences may occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The system automatically posts these differences as realized gains or losses.
Config: IMG>FA>GL. Accounting>Business transactions>Open item clearing>Prepare automatic clearing.
AS well see the notes for better understanding.
Hope it gives better understanding.
Respectfully,
Vyas

GL account issue with Electronic Bank Statement

Hi Gurus,
I need your help and advice with the following issue. We are using ECC 6.0 and have implemented electronic bank statement. It is working fine but we havea new requirements.
Presently all the incoming ACH (ACH in) are being posted to one GL account set- up for such payments +++++++++1. Going forward, we want to post customer incoming ACH payments to seperate GL account and all the other incoming ACH's should keep on posted to the old account +++++++++1. I do not have exposure to configuring EBS and not sure how should I configure this.
I would really apreciate if you can guide me with step by step details to do this set-up.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Shalu

Usually ACH in or outgoing, the corresponding bank will send you a code.
so once you get into the config item for EBS
1. you create account symbols( ACHPAY and ACHPAY2) and assign accounts (++++1 and a debit account ++++2) respectively
2. Create posting keys, usually this is mimicked with a Z attached to the bank code for ACH payments (EX: 675 is the BAI code for ACH, create a posting key with Z675)
3. create rules for the same posting keys like debit and credit account symbols, doc types, what kind of postings it should post( clearing entry or posting to GL)
4. Create a transaction type and in the following step create external transaction types (usually bank BAI codes) and map them to posting rules and the processing types
5. finally map bank accounts to transaction types

EBS - Electronic Bank Statement Multiple Posting Rule for One External Transaction Type NTRF

hello SAP Gurus,
I'm configuring EBS - Electronic Bank Statement. My requirement is for Bank External Transaction Type NTRF <for Incoming Payment> I want to assign 2 posting rules for Posting Area 2 that is Sub-Ledger posting viz. <1> For the payments received from Customer which should clear the Customer Open item since it is bill to bill exactly matching the open line item and <2> For the payments which should not clear the Customer Open item since i know that they are not bill to bill and only partial against the original line item
Is this possible? if yes then how?
Currently, SAP allows only one assignment like one external transaction type NTRF => one Posting Rule <either clear the sub-ledger-system picks FB05 or just post on Sub-ledger so that not to clear - system uses FB01 >
Journal for Posting Area 2:
Bank Clearing Account Dr
To Customer Account Cr <either set this to clear with original invoice / or just post on customer so as to clear/handle it manually later on once paid fully>
So, what is the solution; how can i differentiate my incoming whether fully payment or partial payment; since bank statement always tag it to external transaction type NTRF always for any incoming payments !
regards,
`raj.

Hi,
You cannot create separate rule with sub ledger postings while executing electronic bank reconciliation.The reason is your bill to bill transfers should posted to bank sub ledger account first and then you can write a BDC to clear sub ledger account.Otherwise use F.13 to clear the sub ledger account.

Electronic bank statement with CTX payment advice

Hi:
I'm trying to figure out how I can process an electronic bank statement that contains the payment advice embedded as a CTX addendum. I'm finding info how to issue an ACH and add the CTX addendi. But how can I process it when that info comes back from the bank on the electronic bank statement and I'm on the receiving end of that transaction?
Of course I'm looking to clear the corresponding customer open items along the provided payment advice info.
I do see an interpretation algorithm 032, which will look at a payment advice that has already been received prior to the bank statement. That's close, but not quite it.
Maybe the answer is 'functionality not available in SAP standard' and that will be just fine. I've got the list of all the various enhancement points for the process and if that's the route I need to take, I'll be on my merry enhancing way...
Any pointers highly welcome!
Thanks
Stephen

Hello,
From FF.5, if you are using interpretation algorithms 11, 12 or 13,
the check encashment date ( PAYR-BANCD ) will be updated in PAYR when
the check is neither voided nor cashed. The relevant code is as under
RFEBBU10. Source Code :
CASE FEBEP-INTAG.
      WHEN '000'.                 <- A when for every Int. Algorithm
      WHEN '011'.
            PERFORM SEARCH_CHECK_IN_PAYR.
FORM SEARCH_CHECK_IN_PAYR.
check is not voided nor cashed
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM BKPF WHERE BUKRS = FEBKO-BUKRS
                                AND BELNR = PAYR-VBLNR
                                AND GJAHR = PAYR-GJAHR.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      PAYR-XBANC = 'X'.
      PAYR-BANCD = FEBEP-VALUT.
So, the field PAYR-BANC is always updated with FEBEP-VALUT
(Value Date) and there is no standard way to avoid it.
If the check number in the statement is wrong, then the interpretation
algorithm could not update the encashment date. The interpretation
algorithm run only when the electronic bank statement is loaded
(hence only once) and not when FEBA is processed.
In FEBA (SAPMF40A), there is no further update in PAYR, and hence you
need to go to the Cheque Register and change the date manually in this case.
Check Note 115147 for further information.

REnan

Electronic bank statement and new General ledger

Hi all,
we want to implement electronic bank statement and new G/L is active. While uploading the file, we receive an error: No Profit Center could be found. For us it is clear, because in the uplaod file there is no Profit Center. But how can we solve this problem? Can we activate like a user exit with a " dummy PC" for EBS? if yes, where and how? Or is there any SAP solution already provided? We assume this problem is a general problem for all SAP system with new G/L activation.
Thanks in advance.
Heidi

I found the answer in Customizing new G/L. thanks anyway.

Electronic Bank Statement and IHC update

Hi SAP Gurus
We are to configure the electronic bank statement in SAP to import all of the items such as deposits, checks, fees, ZBA's, etc for each Real bank account into the IHC (In-house cash) treasury company. Real Bank accounts are represented within IHC as Current account as well as Subsidiary companies.
Could any of you advise how to confirugre EBS in FI which will update Current account in IHC? Could you please guide me in details which configuration items I need to do within IHC (i.e. how to determine what IHC account corresponds to each real bank account)
Also how would I be able to configure IHC's Current Accounts (i.e Subsidiaries) to reflect ZBA physical sweeping cash movements between IHC company and Subsidiaries from EBS in FI?
Thanks for your advice.
taro

Hi Taro,
On uploading the EBS in the HQ/FI, there are basically 4 steps to post a payment order in IHC:
1. Determine if the bank statement items are IHC related
This is done successfully only if the account determination from payment notes or from external bank account is maintained correctly (see point 2).
2. Determine the IHC account (corresponds to the subsidiary) from either -
            a. the payment notes OR
            b. from the external bank account in the EBS
    You need to customize this in the following IMG node
Financial Supply Chain Management -> In-House Cash -> Account Management ->Payment Processes in In-House Cash -> Central Cash Receipt / Incoming Bank Statements -> IHC Account Determination from Payment Notes (OR IHC Account Determination from External Bank Account).
3. Determine the clearing partner account where the offset posting can be made
This can be customized in the following cutomising node:
Financial Supply Chain Management -> In-House Cash -> Account Management ->Payment Processes in In-House Cash -> Central Cash Receipt / Incoming Bank Statements -> Set Up Account Determination for Incoming Payment
4. Find the IHC transaction type for posting the payment order; to be cutomised in the following node:
Define Transaction Types for Incoming Payment -> Define Transaction Types for Incoming Payment
With this you should be able to post a payment order in IHC.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Sidhartha
