EBS Auto Subledger posting - Search String
Hi
Can any one give some detail on how. EBS - Search string config work.
requirement is that on customer is paying in a single payment for different invoices.
all the invoice numbers are quoted in the FINSTA, can we make FINSTA work to automatch all the invoice numbers coming in Bank statement through Search string or in some other way.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Kalyan
Kalyan,
For your scenario, the search string configuration won't work. Search string is usually meant to change the assignment of transaction code, cost center, profit center, etc a bit different than the configuration.
For your situation, you need to make use of user-exits, wherein you can search for open items which can be cleared based on your specified criteria.
Enhancement FEB00001 available in standard SAP can be made use of for your purposes.

Vishal.

EBS- How to map search string using wild card
Hi Gurus
I got two similar string on bank statement which needs to be mapped to two different posting rules.
MV-WORLDPAY- 1805 MOTO
MV-WORLDPAY -1805 WEB
in above string 1805 could be any no,( it is not fix no). I have tried using different wildcards and symbols like
+,*,?,# but it is not piciking the right posting rule, also search string use is also activated. so please guide me.
Many Thanks
Sam Rathod.Hi
Try keeping the 1st two digits of search string as b;ank. i.e. ############ (12 digits) mapped to __##########. I used underscore to denote balnk space. Using this when you recevie say 000000001618 (12 digits), it will be mapped to 0000001618 (10 digits). Then your interpretation algo will use this 10 digit number.
Thanks

EBS execute order mutiple search string hit
Hello,
For different macthing purposes i have implemented several search strings.
For example 1800#### and 206#####.
Both work well, but sometime the note to payee information contains info that matches both search strings.
Does the possibility exsist to 'rank' the action in case of multiple serach string matches?
Greetings,
PascalI am not aware of any way to rank search strings. My best advice is to find additional characters in the note to payee to help make the search strings more unique. For example, the note to payees containing 1800#### that should hit the search string, might always have the same characters before or after the 1800#### - and those characters aren't in the note to payees that you don't the search string to hit on.
For example, the note to payees that should hit for 1800#### might have ABC 1800#### - and others have EFG 1800####. You could create the search string as ABC 1800#### - and just map ABC to blank (space). Then the items with EFG 1800#### won't hit the search string.
If the static text is not right before or immediately after the 1800####, you can use ? in the search string to represent unknown characters. Again, you would map ? to blank (space). For example, if the note to payee one day might have ABCDE 12345 1800#### and then next day it has ABCDE 45678 1800#### - you could set up the search string as ABCDE???????1800#### - with ABCDE??????? all mapped to blank. Instead of multiple ?'s, you can also use ?* to represent an unknown number of unknown characters. For the previous example the search string would be ABCDE?1800#### with ABCDE? all mapped to blank. The search string ABCDE?*1800#### will also work if the number of characters between ABCDE and 1800#### varies from day to day. For example, it would also produce a hit for ABCDE vvv 1800#### and ABCD yyyy 1800####.
All of my examples are for static characters prior to 1800#### - but the techniques will also work for static characters after 1800#### - or static characters before and after 1800####.

EBS: Posting on account to Customer through search string
We are attempting an on account posting to the customer account based on the customer name in the bank statement. The configuration looks as follows.
1. Posting rule reflects the setting for posting area 1 and 2. For the second posting area the credit account is blank with posting key 15 and posting type 3
TL04, 1, 40, BANK, 50, BANK TRANSITORY, SA, 1
TL04, 2, 40, BANK TRANSITORY, 15, (BLANK), DZ, 3
2. The search string maps the customer name to customer number
3. The search string use looks as below
BDC Account type = 3
BDC Field name = RF05A-NEWKO
BDC Field Value = Customer number (as mapped to the search string)
4. No interpretation algorithm is used both in search string and in assignment of exterrnal transaction types to posting rules
The second posting to customer cannot be created and it is not able to use the customer number defined n the search string. The value * is passed and goes in error log. Please share your inputs.

Thanks a lot in advance...............Hi Paulo,
Thanks for the reply. However i have the following setting and it still does not work..

EBS Search String for two words separate by other characters

Is there a way to write a search string which will recognize two words in a string?
For example :
PAYPAL TRANSFER WTT489798709898BOOK
I need a search string which will recognize PAYPAL and BOOK
I have tried : (|)PAYPAL + BOOK( |$) or (|)PAYPAL / BOOK( |$)but in the test it is not successfull.
Any help is appreciationHi
Does SAP treat multiple record 88 lines on the EBS as one continuous line for a single 16 record?
I used the string ^PAYPAL ?*DOTCOM PARTNERS LP$ based on your suggestion and uploaded a EBS statement.
The system did not post anything, even though in string test if I enter the follwowing line it displays correct results
:PAYPAL TRANSFER 110403 522222222454W DOTCOM PARTNERS LP/
Our EBS statement has the following data:
16,169,20000,,,00000000000,/
88,OTHER REFERENCE:IA0000122222222/
88,PAYPAL TRANSFER 110403 522222222454W DOTCOM PARTNERS LP/
Any advise is appreciated.

Hi,
I have defined a search string for EBS with Target field BDC
1) "Blank - BDC Name 1 - BSEG-ZUONR" and
2) "Map - BDC Value 1 - ".
The mapping is working perfectly.
The posting rule entry is
40 Bank a/c
50 Bank clg a/c.
The ZUONR field on the debit entry is populated but I also want the ZUONR field on the credit entry to be populated. Does this require any additional setting?
Regards,
HemantHi
I saw that you succeed to use a search string in the EBS integration, and put some information in BSEG-ZUONR ?
Would you please let me know the details of the settings ? I understand the rough indications you put in your question, but did not succeed myself to reproduce the correct settings :
I've created 2 mapping rules,
one for mapping constant 'BSEG-ZUONR' which is used for target field BDC Field Name 1
one for mapping the value to be used with target field BDC Field Value 1
Example : note to payee contains 'Payment number 123456'
My first string map the NTP to 'BSEG-ZUONR'
My second string is to retrieve 123456 from the NTP
In the 'search string' usage, i have assigned the first one to target field 'BDC Field name1', and the second one to 'BDC Field value 1', and my expectation was to receive '123456' in the FI document generated (field BSEG-ZUONR) but it did not happen.
I don't use any interpretation algorithm, and the posting rule is quite simple : 40 Bank 50 Bank IN rec account.
Please let me know what i missed -
Failing Search String in EBS through IDOC
Dear All,
we upload our EBS through idoc processing of type finsta. The problem is that for a particular bank theres a search string attached which will replace the posting rule if a certain but fix narration (say "Trf 66852") is received in note to payee field apart from the fixed external transaction code. The problem is that, in the idoc segment, though i am putting the same fixed narration as Trf66852 however the posting rule is not replacing. I am not able to determine even if the search string is working. I tried checking in EBSTS but apart from two blank lines nothing much is appearing. If anyone ever come across this issue pls share your experience.
best regds
SubhaHi Subha,
The Notes to payee updates from FINSTA IDoc should work.
1. If you want to know if the configured search string is working or not, you can simulate it in OTPM, where the search strings are defined in the search string definition > Simulation. You need to entry the text from bank in Simulation and click on test.
2. Secondly, you can check in table FEBRE where the notes to Payee fields are updated.

Hi All
I am doing configuration for an EBS implementation in development system. I have configured couple of search strings and 2 of them are not producing desired result. Please have a look.

N OF MICR CHEQUE DEPOSIT
Search string use:-

Target Field "Posting Rule"
699 code is assigned to posting rule ZBCH. This BAI code is sent by Citibank in 3 scenarios. For two scenarios, I have tried to replace posting rule ZBCH with some other value. In one case search string works, but it did not work in above case. Above example produced posting to ZBCH posting rule instead of ZDDR.
2.)

Activated search string as for previous one
495 bai code is assigned to posting rule ZOEF. This BAI code is sent by Citibank in 2 scenarios. For above scenario, I have tried to replace posting rule ZOEF with ZCKO. But it did not work. In above case, system tried to process record using posting rule ZOEF instead of ZCKO.
Can you please tell why system is not able to select desired posting rule for processing ? Appreciate feedback.

Issue With Similar Search Strings in EBS
Hi Everybody, I'm experiencing some issue regarding a Search String that I have, the config is very similar, the only difference between one and the other is that there's a specific posting rule for one particular account.
EG: Search String 1: (^)ACCOUNT TRANSFER TRSF TO( |$)
Search String 2:(^)ACCOUNT TRANSFER TRSF TO 1111111111( |$)
(Where 1111111111 is the bank account)
Same Extenral transaction, NTRF, Same house bank and account id. Same Comapny also
But when executing a Statement with the 1st one it works fine, but when runing the 2nd one it does not use any of them(it takes the Posting rule set for NTRF in the EBS configuration).
I've tested it in the SS test and it takes the right posting rule.
If you have any clue on this I'll really appreciate it.
Regards
LucianoI apologize for the above and the thread has been posted here as I was unable to access the correct category due to some technical issues with Oracle forums. Also, the mentioned issue is in critical state and has a deadline so thought of posting to get it resolved as soon as possible. Specific categorization will be surely taken care in future.

Bank statement search string for posting rule 2
Hello,
I created a search string (also activated) for clearing sub legder account. Folowing are the combinations i tried:
1) ###(.| )#######
2) (^| )###(.| )#######( |$)
3) ###.#######
Open document reference text on header normally carries 3digits followed by a dot and then seven digits. For example:
123.1234567. I also want to include 123 1234567 (sometimes it appears like this in bank statement) but the system should intrepret it as 123.1234567.
I think above string acheived this when i did a TEST (button) next mapping screen on the same screen.
I uploaded the bank statement and then went to another config where you do simulation for a bank statement (uploaded). There the system checks for first three digits only and the document found coloumn is blank (because it checks only first three digits and there are too many probable customers in partner's field).
Posting rule - algorithm is no 21
search string - algorithm is no 21
mapping field in search string - i tried with bland and without blank (###.#######) it is all same.
How to make the system check 3+7 digits with dot? and why it checking only first three digits. Can some help?
BGHi,
I also would be interested to know this. If anybody can give a step by step analysis, it would be highly appreciated.

Define Search String for EBS in SAP 4.6c

I have some question for search string for EBS in SAP 4.6c. I have already done this thing in ECC 6 and work well with "target field" as account number. but in 4.6c target field account number doesn't exist. Please suggest me, if there is a same way like account number target field in 4.6c?
Thanks in advance

Using EBS search strings to allocate a customer profit center
Hi All,
I am using IHC for my incoming payments. I use substitution for profit centers in customer orders, I would like the EBS to automatically deposit into the customer's account using the same profit center used when creating the customer orders. I have been researching on the use of search string, whoever am failing to see how to set this up.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
GodhelpHi Shannon,
Thanks for your response. Here are the results of my latest test.
I set the algorithms in both the transaction mapping and the search string allocation to "021". FEBSTS did not find the imbedded reference numbers.
I left the algorithms in the transaction mapping at "021", but added "000" to the search string allocation (so that both "000" and "021" were active there). FEBSTS did execute the search strings and returned the reference numbers.
Unless there is some magic somewhere or I am really misunderstanding something, all of my tests are telling me that the simulation (and presumably the live program) will NOT execute the search strings properly unless "000" is active in the search string functionality, and that means the document retrieval must be done in the user exit.
This may be part of why SAP recommends that one does not use MT940, but one must deal with what one has.

When same search strings are given, during EBS upload system not picking up
Hi,
We have a total of 7 company codes and have different -different seach strings assigned to each of them in EBS config. But now my client want to have a same seach string for two company codes, when configured in ECC 6.0 , and tried to upload the statement neither of the company codes are getting the bank statement uplaoded. Is there a way where we can assign company code wise so that the bank statement gets uploaded.
Thanks and Regards
SriHi,
I think this should be possible. Different company codes will have different House banks and Accounts ID.
The same search string can be used for each of the company code and house banks. This happend when after defining the search string, you assign these strings as above.
Tip : Please also check in the "TEST", by copying the search string from the bank file and see if the mapping is being hit.
