EBS settings

Question

Hi All,
We have a vendor line item which is required to be cleared automatically when the EBS is uploaded on the basis of the document number which will be provided by bank in MT940. At that time, the entry shall be Vendor Debit to Bank Credit. We are not carrying out the automatic payment run. Hence no bank clearing account is involved.
Now to achieve above scenario, while defining posting rules in EBS settings, we have done following configuration,
1. Posting area as 2 "Sub ledger Accounting"
2. Posting type is selected as 7 " Clear deb.subledg.ac"
To clear vendor directly, system goes to T code FB05, when we execute FF_5 for uploading the bank statement. However in FB05, the account type considered is 'D' by default. Since we have a posting related to vendor, we want account type to be selected as K.
Can anyone let me know how we can pass account type K while uploading the bank statement or is there any other method for clearing vendor directly when EBS is uploaded?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Aman
Hein is right . You can use a search string based on the information you will get in the Note to payee field.
For e.g in case of direct debit which can have external transaction code as NDDT negative, and bank gives a string say "Direct debit" in the note to payee field.
You can define a search string say, "NDDT", defination
D-> K
i-> blank
r-> blank
e-> blank
c-> blank
t-> blank
-> blank
d-> blank
e-> blank
b->blank
i->blank
t->blank
This Search String "NDDT", will populate the target field - Account type with value 'K"
