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
Pascal.

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 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

Enhancement for Electronic Bank Statement. MT940 structured format.

Hello Dear Gurus,
There is a requirement for postings of outgoing payments.
Need to retrieve the certain parts of information from the bank statement text - field ":86: 070 "and put it into the relevant fields "Text" and "Assignment" of an accounting document. We use txt file.
So, one number should be taken from "?20" part and 2 others from "?21" of the field ":86:070".
As I found out there is a user exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001 that could help with this.
Please, if you have any experience with this exit with the similar task, please advice.
I viewd the structures and tables imported/exported in this exit and do not see where this particular text is saved.
Any input regarding this topic will be useful!
Thank you

Dear Anna,
The field FEBEP-ZUONR 'Assignment number' gets filled with KUKEY + ESNUM + WAERS (refer to SAP note 417044).
To get the different value filled in the field ZUONR, please, check the 10th point in the note 494777 and make use of the user exit "FEB00004". Exit FEB00004 is called at the import of SWIFT MT940 in program RFEKA400.
You may use your own coding to fulfill your requirement also with the enhancement FEB0001 (EXIT_RFEBBU10_001).
I hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

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
OSS Note 414233 - Accnt statement:customer-specific interpretation algorithms

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.
Thanks

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?

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

FF_5 : Electronic Bank Statement.

Dear All,
Need to get some inputs regarding t-code FF_5 (EBS).
1. When we import electronic bank statement (swift format) where is the entries are getting stored in the table level.
2. Can we create some customized field in the program through IMG, if so how to we do that.
A stet by step procedure is required.
Best Regards,
Rajagopalan

FEBKO
FEBVW
FEBEP
FEBRE
2. Can we create some customized field in the program through IMG, if so how to we do that.
please have a look at note 494777. there are several user exits, open-fi events, badi, .. for enhancements in the electronic bank statement process. maybe you can avoid a modification in the tables with these enhancements. moreover you can use BDC fields in transaction FEBAN (subsequent processing), if you want to fill certain fields in the posting, which are not included in FEBAN.
For Example: fill the taxcode in the subledger posting
("sorry, can't remember all the fields by heart")
BDC-fieldvalue1 = V1
BDC-fieldname1 = BSEG-MWSKZ
BDC-("account type") = 1 (first line, subledger posting)

Electronic Bank Statement - Assign External Transaction Types to Posting Rules

Hello,
I am trying to assign external transactions (BAI codes) to posting rules in global settings of electronic bank statement.
Here is my scenario -
If it is a credit transaction then I assign BAI code 167 to a posting rule (ex. Z555) that is assigned to GL account lets say 1234. Now I want to assign a credit transaction 167 from a different customer to a different posting rule (ex. Z666) so it posts to different account lets say 9991. SAP won't let me do this. It gives me an error that entry already exists. It won't let me assign two posting rules to the same external transaction code. Is there a way to address this scenario?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya
If you have something different to distinguish between the two transactions, you can use the search string configuration. Generally, such kind of information is available in Notes to Payee information in your bank file. The below link will help you in how the search strings are configured in SAP
EBS: configuration of search string, part 1
If the search string does not work for you, you may also at implementing the enhancement FEB00001. You can check out the relevant exits in this enhancement in t code SMOD.

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

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.

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 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.
