EBS-Check clearing

Hi
I noticed that the program SAPLNEW_FEBA doesn't generate additional information when there's errors in check clearing. Before, it used to provide info like " check already cashed" or "check marked as cashed", etc. Now I am testing and get the red X but there's no additional information.
Any comments? suggestions?

Hi kalyan,
We have changed the length of the check number by adding the leading zeros in the check number in the relevant range by using transaction FCHI (maintain check lot). For this you have to delete the check number in the 'number status' column first, this will then allow to delete the number range. Please delete first all the existing number ranges for the check. Then recreate the new lots with the new check number range which will have 10 digit check number by adding leading zeros to the 5 digit check number range used by you before. But if you are printing check in-house, SAP script guy has to make sure that the MICR line is lengthy enough to capture the 10 digit check number.
Other approach will be to develop a file pre-processing program which will delete the leading zeros from the BAI file after the upload and before the posting which will hit table(FEBEP) while using EBS upload transaction (FF_5).
Thanks

  • Distributed HR/PY and Check Clearing

    Hi experts -
    Changing our landscape from a single integrated system to a distributed HR/PY and FICO environment (I.e. 2 different instances).  In the distributed architecture I understand the Payroll Check (tcode RFFOUS_C) print program still runs in the HR/PY instance and the check register is also updated in the HR/PY instance.  However, the GL posting that include open item managed bank clearing account(s) for payroll checks is updated only in the FICO instance (via ALE) by the Posting to accounting process. 
    Can anyone tell me how and where the EBS should be run to clear the payroll checks and the GL payroll check clearing open item account?  Again, the payroll checks will be in the check register in the HR/PY system but the GL payroll check clearing open item account will be in FICO instance.
    Anyone out there have experience with this scenario?
    Thanks!

    Have you worked specifically with a distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture?  Or, are you answering this question based on your understanding of the payment process from FI?   If you have not worked hands-on with the distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture I do not think you understand the issue.
    In the distributed HR/PY architecture the payroll checks are created in the HR/PY instance.  The creation of the GL entry for the payroll check bank clearing account is created by an entirely separate process - the  PY GL Posting run and the distributed model posts the GL to the FICO instance.  Therefore, the check register is in the HR/PY instance and GL payroll check bank clearing account in in FICO.

  • Old checks cleared in the bank but still negotiable in AP

    Hi,
    Our oracle AP system is showing many old outstanding checks but that has been actually cleared in the bank.  In other words, these checks cleared in the bank (years ago) but AP system didn't know they were cleared (these checks are still negotiable per AP) . Any suggestion on how to resolve these type of payments?

    Hi,
    Note 1484182.1, Latest: Clear, Unclear, Reconcile, Unreconcile, provides a good overview of the steps to clear a transaction. You can manually clear the transactions. Manually clearing the checks will trigger journal entries. You do not have to post them. You can delete them in GL. You will need to know this for reconciliation between AP and GL that these payment clearing events were not posted.
    1) Stop all users from generating accounting.
    2) Run the Payables Accounting Process to generate accounting before starting to clear checks.
    3) Manually clear the old checks.
    4) Run the Payables Accounting Process. You can limit this to Payment events. Go ahead and run the Transfer to GL, but do not submit the Post Journal Import process (set the parameter to "No").
    5) This should isolate the transactions.

  • Check clearing

    Hi all,
    When vendor check cleared in our back, how SAP will captures the check clearing date?
    Please if it needs configuration please provide me details.
    Thank you so much,

    Check encashment date is captured by sap daily from a file sent by the bank which will list the checks that were cashed Yesterday. You upload (FCHR or Z program)this encashment file in sap and the status of the check will now show as cashed in SAP and you cannot void the check after this is cashed

  • Check Clearing G/L Account

    What is the use of Check Clearing G/L Account? where do you define it in what scenario ?
    thanks
    Venkat

    Checking Clearing Account as you see in the G/L Determination .. Sales Tab refers to a Clearing Account to which all Checks Received are posted to during the Incoming Payment Process.
    In the Deposits step when you physically deposit the check the Clearing Account is Credited and the Bank Account is debited.
    The balace showing in this Check Clearing account at any given time would represent un-deposited checks

  • Check / Clear Checkboxes on Client Using WLW 8.1.2

    I am using WLW 8.1.2 and have a jsp that presents the user with a hierarchical list of choices. The list is dynamically built from data contained in the database, and can have from 2-5 indented levels. Each item in the list is preceded by a 'netui:checkBox', and the levels are contained within nested 'netui-data:repeaterItem' elements.
    If the user checks the most inclusive (highest) level, the controller logic assumes they checked all items included below it. Is there a way to check / clear all subordinate check boxes on the client when the user checks /clears a box to make the selection process more obvious? I'm trying to see if there is a way to include some JavaScript, or a jsp scriptlet, to handle this, without communicating with the server each time a check box is clicked.
    I've tried to scan/read all archived dev2dev articles and didn't find a solution. If my question is a dumb one, don't be afraid to say so. My current solution works, but I'm trying to make it better.
    Thanks, in advance, for any words of wisdom,
    Jim

    some javascript called from the onClick() which searches the dom tree for child elements of type netui:checkBox()?

  • EBS check out is not getting cleared? Explained Clearly.

    Hi Experts,
    while uploading BAI file into SAP, system is creating the following entry.
    Debit Bank Check-out clearing account
    Credit Main Bank Account
    Now the problem is, it's not offsetting the amount which is sitting in the Bank Check-Out Clearing Account as Credit.
    So we are clearing it Manually but we wanted automatically should be offset.
    Kindly advice what setting needs to be done.
    Thanks in Advance
    Saurabh

    In the posting rule configuration for EBS, you need to select the proper Posting type. SAP has the following available:
    1     Post to G/L account
    2     Post subledg.acc deb
    3     Post subldg.acc cred
    4     Clear debit G/L acct
    5     Clear credit G/L act
    7     Clear deb.subledg.ac
    8     Clear cred.subl.acct
    9     Reset & rev. clear
    Your current configuration is probably '1 - Post to G/L account'.
    You need to select the posting type '4 - Clear debit G/L acct'.

  • EBS BAI2 file - Transaction 475, check clearing - extra character appending

    Hello experts,
    We are using Algorithm 13 for processing checks which are processed using the transactin 475 on the incoming bank file.
    In the BAI2 file format, the check numer is contained in record 16 in the following format-
    16,475,58740,0,9180914733,67689/
    88,CHECK NO=0000000067689
    The problem that we are having is - if the EBS program is run as a automated batch job then SAP is appending the '/'  (that appears at the end of the line in record 16) in the check number that it uses to match the documents for clearing. Therefore in the above example, our SAP system is trying to find the check number '67689/' in the check lots to match against the payment document. However our check numbers are just 67689 therefore SAP is not able to find a match and posts the document in 'On Account' state.
    But if the same file is run manually in the Workstation upload mode, then there is no extra '/' appearing in the check number and SAP correctly clears the Cash Clearing account. I know there is nothing wrong in the file sent to us by the bank. Plus running it manually does not cause this issue.
    Has anyone else faced this problem before and if you can suggest on what possibly could be going wrong then it would be a great help for me.
    Thanks!

    I understand wanting to find the issue - not just apply a band aid.  And I understand the frustration of not being able to recreate an issue in a test system.  But at least a search string is only configuration and not ABAP code in a user exit....  And if it works, it will relieve your users from clearing the checks manually.
    If you do go with a search string, you should be able to isolate the last 5 digits by only mapping those.  For example, you'd set the search string to: 
    CHECK NO=00000000#####
    Then in the mapping, blank out all values except for the 5 # symbols - so the mapping would be 17 blank spaces followed by 5 #'s.  I've been able to successfully extract reference numbers for ACH deposit clearings this way - I don't see why it wouldn't also work in your situation with check numbers.

  • EBS BAI file check clearing

    I am trying to clear check through EBS (BAI format) file upload but the check numbers are coming through in the 16 records in the reference field and not in the 88 records (note to payee). I know we can clear check through check number in 88 records using string config but I don't know what to configure for clearing check if the check number is in 16 records. For e.g.
    16,475,656933,,,0013000168/
    Where 0013000168 is check number. plus the 2 leading zeros are not there in the check number in SAP. .

    Q1: Did you use F.13 or the fuction in EBS it's self?
    We are using EBS download(FF_5) itself to do the auto-clearing
    If you have configured the EBS, make sure you took care of the following points as well:
    a) In the 'define posting rule', you have entered 4 as 'posting type' (Credit posting key 50 and debit posting key 'blank')
    b)In the 'Assign External transaction types to posting rules' you have mapped the external transaction codes (given by your bank) to the correct interpretation alogrithm for checks (we are using 011)
    Q2: How did you match with the payment open item ? (for our case, the payment items only have F110 run date and Id plus amt to match with)
    If you are creating the check in SAP, then every check payment document has the unique check number assignment as you know. When you download the EBS, it has check number information in the file. SAP then matches this number with the same existing number in the check register. And from the check number it finds and clears the corresponding payment document.
    We are downloading here BAI2 format through EBS. In the BAI2 file if you are getting the check number in the record starting with 16, then SAP will be able to find the check number and do the clearing based on the interpretation alogrithm config. But if you getting the check number in the record starting with 88, then you can use 'Define search string for EBS' config to interpret hte check number from note to payee field.
    Thanks

  • EBS - Checks Auto Clearing for two house banks same company code

    Hello,
    I have two house banks in one company code. Both have the same account numbers but different bank keys. When I load the EBS file, checks of only one house bank are getting cleared. Is there any way I could accomodate both the house banks. I use alogorithm 011, and the EBS is in BAI2 file format.
    Will String search be of any help here.?
    Kiran

    Do you get single statement for both house bank accounts?
    Check the 'Assign Bank Accounts to Transaction Types' in EBS customizing. In this step, you'll assign 'Transaction type' to Bank Key and Bank Account.  See if you have assigned only for Bank account.  If the Bank key field is left blank, this issue is a possibility.  So try defining two lines with the Bank Key-Bank Account combination and assign the same transaction type for both.
    The above solution should work.
    If it does not, you can copy the Transaction type into a new one and then assign the new one to the second Bank Key-Bank Account combination.   Dont forget to 'Assign External Transaction Types to Posting Rules' while copying.
    Either of the options should work for you.
    Ravi.

  • EBS Payroll Checks Clearing

    Hello:
    Standard SAP does not clear (marked as cashed) payroll checks.  I have a customized transaction that was recommended by an SAP OSS notes.  It works great in the foreground, it cancelled when I try to run it in the background.
    Does anyone has been succesfull in running this program in the background?.

    The custom trasaction we use is ZIFCM_EBS_PAYROLL_CHECKS.  This transaction creates a file that captures the check information from the Electric Bank Statement (BAI file) .  The created file then it is used by the FCKR transaction to clear the cashed payroll checks.
    This is the error I am getting

  • EBS check number with leading zeros

    When we upload EBS, we are getting the check number in the record 16 (reference field). But unlike the check number posted in SAP, the check number in the BAI file has 2 leading zeros. Now since check number is coming in record 16, instead of record 88 we are not able to solve this problem through String configuration.
    So, we thought of following solutions(Options):
    1.    Modify the check lot numbers to have two leading zeros plus associated changes like the form and so on.
    2.    Modify the check number in the incoming file u2013 strip the check number with two leading zeros with the use of customer enhancement. (After upload and before posting)
    Can we solve the problem of leading zeros (before the check number) through any configuration steps instead of changing the SAP script form for check(Check lot) or going for customer enhancement.
    Thanks
    Ron

    You are correct, since the check numbers are coming through only in the 16 records and not in the 88 records, you cannot use a search string to resolve the issue with leading zeros.  Also, I do not know of any other configuration that can be used to reformat the reference values in the 16 records.
    The 2 solutions you have listed are both valid options.  Although with the first option (changing the check lots), you would need to make sure the business users approved of changing the check lots before going forward with that option.  And you would still have to manually clear checks that had been issued prior to the check lot change.
    At my company, we went with the second option - using ABAP code to update the check numbers from the file to match those in SAP (we actually had to add leading zeros to the check numbers).  In our case, we had already created a pre-processor program for other re-formatting of the file that was needed prior to loading it into SAP - so we added the check number logic to that.
    However, if you do not have a pre-processor program, I know there is a user exit available for EBS - exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001, include ZXF01U01.  I have heard of others using this exit to update the check numbers from 16 records.  The exit is called during the FF.5 processing.

  • How to display the Check number during manual check clearing - FEBAN

    Hi all experts,
    Hope you can help me on this one. We recently changed our house bank. Because of this change, when we try to post our bank statement, the checks issued from the old bank do not clear. However, when we try to manually clear them through FEBAN transaction, there is no reference to the check number. This becomes a problem, especially when we have about 150 open items for $100 each - we do not know which one to clear against. It is not practical to have to drill down into each document number to find the check number. Is there a way to bring in the check number in the FEBAN open items screen? Has any one else experienced this issue? Any comments / suggestions will be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    MJ

    Hi Chandra,
    I tried to add the field through O7R3 (your suggestion) as well as through O7F4. I still cannot see the check field displayed. I tried the FBL1N transaction as well - no check number field there either.
    Can you help me? Is there anything else in the config that could cause this?
    Thanks,

  • EBS- Automatic clearing & posting to customer on-account

    Hi FI Experts,
    I'm hoping that you can help with the following SAP electronic bank statement (EBS) setup:
    In EBS configuration, we have setup posting rule to clear customer sub-ledger (posting type 8). This is achieved using algorithm 31 u2013 Doc number search (customer no from doc line). So when MT940 file - note to payee field has correct doc number (invoice no), system clears the customer open item automatically
    Now the requirement is if the note to payee field doesnu2019t contain correct document number (or missing doc number) but has the correct customer number- Is it possible to post the amount to the customer account based on the customer number available in the file? Business team can clear it against the invoice later manually. In summary, if doc number is available system should clear customer open item; if doc number is missing but customer number is available system should post the incoming amount to the customer account.
    Is it possible to setup the above logic using standard EBS rules; if yes how? or do you reckon a development is needed?
    Appreciate your inputs
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

    Hi Experts,
    I got this resolved by using the enhancement FEB00001.  If the field "Distribute by age" is activated through this enhancement, then system will be able to match the paid amount and the combination of open items for automatic clearing.  If there is no exact match, then automatic clearing through FF.5 is not possible as indicated in SAP Note 124655.
    There is no more necessity to use BAdI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA.  Complete relevant logic can be maintained directly in the enhancement itself.
    Have a nice day.

    Sridhar
