Electronic Bank Statement - automatic clearing via Assignment number

Dear all,
when posting our outgoing cheques, the cheque number is copied to the assignment field (via an automatic job). Our cheque numbers have 6 digits.
When we are getting in the bank statement file the cheque number is populated in the 'Note to payee' (same number in "Reference" field), but instead of 6 digits, the bank adds additional 6 digits / zeros infront of the cheque number. Meaning that instead of 005217 we get 000000005217.
We want to use the automatic clearing with the link between 'Note to payee' and 'Assignment field'.
The following settings were done in the system:
1. Posting rules: "4 Clear debit G/L acct"
2. Search string definition:
1. 0 > ' ', 2. 0 > ' ', 3. 0 > ' ', 4. 0 > ' ', 5. 0 > ' ', 6. 0 > ' ', 7. # > #, 8. # > #, 9. # > #, 10. # > #, 11. # > #, 12. # > #
3. Search string use:
- Algorithm 015: Clearing Transaction: Selection Using Assignment
- Target field: Payment Notes
With those settings the system does not find the items to clear.
Does anybody know what is missing?
Thanks!

We have uploaded MT940 file through /nff.5 .
The posting which has happened after MT940 was uploaded is
Dr Main bank account ( 190220) 500 INR
Cr. Bank Sub Control Account (190228) 500 INR
The entry which is their is sub control bank account posted on
Dr. Bank Sub control Account (190228) 500 INR
Cr. Customer Account 500 INR
Their is no other posting also with 500 in sub control account
But these are not cleared automatically & reflecting in FEBA as to be posted.
Now out 100 trnsaction the success rate of automatic clearing is 30%.
What could be the reason? Is it to do with date etc.
I undertand that clearing against ( two document ) is against some criteria.
then what those criteria are.

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

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.
For a detailed description of how the EBS works, please see the thread titled EBS posted by Sheena Mehta and answered by me.

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

Automatic Import of Electronic Bank Statements (EBS)

Hi SAP Gurus,
We want to solve the following issue:
Daily we receive multiple Electronic Bank Statements by means of banking Communication Software (BCS).
Those EBS files are stored on our SAP Application Server, filetype = SWIFT MT940 format,
and the file name contains a date and time stamp.
File name example: MT940.90910077527_20101124_210421_167660
Currently the import of these EBS-files is done manually via transaction FF_5 (program: RFEBKA00).
We want to automate this import process.
Every time a new EBS-files arrives (in a specific directory) on the application sever
a signal (including the filename) should be send to SAP, so SAP knows there is a new EBS-file available for import.
SAP now runs program RFEBKA00, with the provide filename, in the background.
Any ideas how to do this?
Some tech. info:
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 64-bit
Oracle 10.2.0.4
SAP R/3 Enterprise 47x200
Thanks,
Roger Vanaubel

Hi
I think there are several ways to do it. In our case, we have a program which concatenates all received files into a single file and which launches RFEBKA00. It runs at fixed time, outside the working hours of accounting clerks. It is possible to trigger the program at file receipt, but there are problems if somebody is working in FEBA at the same time RFEBKA00 is working on the same bank account: then RFEBKA00 stops without doing all postings.
If you trigger RFEBKA00 at file receipt, you may have several jobs running in parallel, and if 2 bank statements received in separate files are for the same account, you will have the same problem.

BAI file clearing cheque outgoing sub account - Electronic Bank Statement

Hi,
I am facing problem with clearing the cheque when uploaded bank statement through FF_5 (electronic)
If I use the following file, there is no problem in clearing the cheque (this prepared by me for test purpose)
01,EBSTest,EBSTest,101005,0944,1,99,99,2,,,,,,,/

88, ITEMS 027827
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.
Regards,
Ravi

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.

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 - 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.

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.

Electronic Bank Statement and Bank Accounts change...Statement Upload

Hi,
I have an issue with electronic bank processing.
Currently my client is using A100 company code and bank account 123456 gl code 45000 and they are updating bank statements through electronic bank statement.
Now they have activated A200 company code and they want to use same bank account 123456 and gl code 45000 in new company code and the entire electronic bank statements need to be updated into A200 and A100 company code will exist in sap but client dont want to use this.
What customizations need to be done in SAP and how system will come to know A200 company code need to be updated when they update electronic bank statement next time?
Is there any specific customization in sap that shifts company codes and gl codes for electronic bank statement uploads?
What will happen to historic data when the same gl codes are used with different company codes?
Once the F110 is executed there will be batch job which will run to upload file...do we need to change anything here....
Jaya.

Hello-
Are you saying going forward you are are not going to use A100 and start using A200? If so, from an EBS config standpoint, all you would have to do is use the same transaction type and remove the assignment of old company code & bank account + bank key to the transaction type and enter the new assignment to new company code.
Next, make sure to create all the bank accounts and clearing accounts in the new company code (assuming all the config related to bank is completed).
This is it. When you upload using FF.5, it will look at the bank account number from the upload file and look for the company code.
Hope this helps.

Electronic Bank Statement - Reg

Hi All,
I have configured the Electronic Bank Statement for multicash format. The entries are flown correctly from clearing Account to Main Account once you import the multicash format. We are working SAP R/3 4.7 In this format in Note to payee 1 column bankers captured the cheque number and in note to payee 11 column they captured deposit slip Number.
When we post the receipt entry we capture the cheque number in assignment column and deposit slip in the reference 3 column.
After that entry when we import multicash format and subsequent posting to main account system should check the note payee 1 with (Assignment) and note to payee 11 with reference 3 if both are matching the entry should post from clearing account to main account. If any thing is not matching the entry should not pass and system should show that item in error.
Then user has to run the manual process I have tried with interpretation algorithm also but system not even checks single item. Systems are not throwing any error item.
Regards
Venkat

I tried with both
:61:0805160516DD114,00NCHK100025//100025
:61:0805160516DD114,00NCHK100025 1//100025 1

Electronic bank statement global setting and search string usage

In electronic bank statement configuration, there are two major places to setup the data
1) Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement
2) Define Search String for Electronic Bank Statement
When bank statements are imported and possessed via FF_5, which of the above configuration will take priority. I'm now using BAI2 bank statement

The Global Settings are required for loading bank statements. The Search String configuration is optional. Search strings are used in to override and/or augment the Global settings.
For example, you might have a BAI code that is used by the bank for 2 (or more) different types of postings. You can only assign one posting rule in the Global Settings. However, you can use a search string to assign a different posting rule to transactions based on the note to payee information. So this is a case where the search string overrides the Global settings.
Or you might have transactions that need to be cleared based on reference information from the bank statement. You would assign the posting rule and appropriate interpretation algorithm via the Global Settings, however you might need a search string to get the reference information from the note to payee.
Hope this information helps.
Regards,
Shannon

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

Electronic Bank statement

Hi,
We are planning to use F110 transaction to generate the automatic payment advice(with payment orders) and it will be sent to Bank.Once the payment is made,I understand that the Bank will send the electronic Bank statement based on which we can clear the vendor open items.We like to simulate the clearing process based on the electronic Bank statement.
Can any of the forum members provide a sample electronic bank statement.It will help us is understanding the clearing process.
Thanks in millions,
Leo

hi
i have seen your posting at forum in service.sap.com REGARDING ELECTRONIC BANK RECONCILATION.
In the reply you made regarding EBR you have mentioned about two options for f110. Actually our banker requires a unique identifier for eact electronic transaction. i have configured DME and getting text file for each APP run. however i was wondering how clearing will be done while receiving advice at day end and statement at month end.
Your reply seems to match my comapanies scenario however you are requested to more clarify about your forum reply.
what is option no. 2
2- Close Vendor and post to an Out of balance sheet account. When receiving bank statement you have to post to this Out of balance sheet account(which is then closed) and bank account. In this way you have a clear picture for your bank accounts.
How setting of this is done. R u talking about payment order.
what is account gour of Out of balance sheet account.
what is entry passed when you do app run.
what is the way to do bank recon and payment advice upload.
thanks
