Electronic Bank Statement clearing with FI-CA postings

Hello Everyone,
FI-CA transfer to General Ledger posting is done on summary basis. For ex- If there were 2 postings for $100 each, then when the transfer is done from FI-CA to G/L, it posts $200, but bank is going to send information for 100 with record 16 (BAI) and one more record for $ 100, Thus sending 2 records.
How do i reconcille these 2 items automatically in bank postings against one postings made from FI-CA, through FF_5 upload. 
Is there any algorithm for clearing FI-CA, or can we send send individual postings to G/L from FI-CA, so bank statment is reconcilled properly.
I would really appreciate your help.

The Posting date is not defined in the BAI file.  The program should pick up the statement date in the BAI file and populate the posting date with the same value.  In reading through the documentation for the program RFEBKA00 which is run via FF.5, I discovered that the include program RFEKA700 deals with BAI format.  The file that is downloaded from the bank, contains multiple accounts and their respective activity for that respective day.  When we import the file, all the other accounts are handled correctly.  That is to say that the posting date that gets populated in the clearing document is set to the statement date from the file.  The issue that we are facing has to deal with the last account being sent in the file.  On this account, the activity is missing the posting date so the system sets the posting date to the current date.  When I review the line items from the file in FEBA, the last activity item in the file has the correct posting date, the rest of the activity items do not have the correct posting date.  I can review this information by looking at table FEBEP.  On the last records for the Bank Statement Date's file, associated with the last account in the file, field BUDAT does not have anything populated in the field.
I am at a total loss as to why this would work for all the other accounts and only the last activity item on the last account when I process the file.
Suggestions?

  • Format file problem uploading electronic bank statement files FF_5 RFEBKA00

    hello
    I am facing a problem when uploading electronic bank statement files with the file format. The situation is as follows:
    1- Electronic bank statement files are sent by FTP from the bank to a certain directory in AL11
    2- we have developed a "z" program that just picks electronic bank statement files from AL11 directory and process them using standard FF_5 (RFEBKA00) program.
    3- When processing some files had an error, when debugging we have verified that errors are caused by some "special" characters non Unicode as "®" (=Hex'AE') with UTF-8, a '#' is displayed.
    SAP answers a question as follows:
    AL11 is designed to display os-files (log-files, trace-files etc.)
    from within the SAP-system for supporting purposes in order not to
    logon to the os itself.
    It was not designed to display any file-content in the system created
    with any code-page.
    AL11 opens the file in textmode with encoding option default, which
    means UTF-8 in a unicode system and NON-UNICODE in the other case.
    You cannot change this setting.
    If you have the need to specify these options, depending on your files,
    you can make a copy of report RSWATCH0 and customize the OPEN-statement
    to yor needs.
    On a Unicode system, the files need to be in Unicode format (UTF-8).
    Eg:When you interpret a non-Unicode "®" (=Hex'AE') with UTF-8, a '#' is
    displayed.
    Case 1:
    Who is creating those files? Are these files
    1) created by you
    2) are they written by a SAP application?
    ==>There are the notes 752835 and 747615 for cases like these.
    In case 2) it may be that the application responsible for the file
    download (not AL11!) should be the problem, considering note 752835.
    There is also the possibility for you to convert the file to the correct format using our tool RSCP_CONVERT_FILE (note 747615).
    System administrator has told me to copy standard RFEBKA00 program and modify the OPEN-statement but I am not agree because I think that the problem is when generating the files in bank's system and/or sending the files to SAP by FTP.
    Does any body face a problem like this before? Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot

    Hello,
    The files that are available in AL11 are in Unicode.
    Can you convert them to text by using the following method and then try:
    You must have mapped this directory and having access.
    Right click on file
    Open with: Microsoft Office Word
    Then the pop-up comes: File conversion - bacs
    Select Other encoding radio button
    Then select "Unicode" from list
    and say OK
    Now the file is being opened in readable format:
    File SAVE as PLAIN TEXT
    Save the file in the same folder that you are referring to in AL11
    Now if you try with this .txt file, it should work in FF_5
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • 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 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.

    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

    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.

  • 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 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

    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.

  • Electronic bank statement processing failed with error

    Hi All,
    While processing the electronic bank statement incoming file, it created an error like
    'Total of Line Items in line item file not the same as in statement file"
    how do I check if the control totals matches..?
    rgds,

    You should give the exact message, with message number.
    If it is FB 777, "DTAUS: Number of line items not equal to control total; see long text", you should see the long text. I think it contains sufficient information:
    Text                                                                               
    DTAUS: Number of line items not equal to control total; see long text
    Diagnosis                                                                               
    data records of record type 'C' were handed over in the file you    
        imported. There must be  data records according to the control total 
        from the fourth field of record type 'E'.                                                                               
    Processing was therefore terminated.                                                                               
    The DTAUS file was not imported into the bank data clipboard. No     
        postings were generated.                                                                               
    Procedure                                                                               
    Inform your credit institution about the error which has occurred and
        let them give you a correct DTAUS file.                                                                               
    No actions are necessary in the SAP System.

  • 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:-

  • Electronic Bank Statement - Check register not updated with encashment date

    I need help in Electronic Bank Statement. After uploading the bank statement file, i got the document number posted, but when i looked in Check register for the checks it's still showing up as outstanding check and there is no encashment date updated with this check.
    We received file from bank in BAI format and use t.code ff_5 to upload the bank statement file. Algorithm 011 already assigned in Config. Please help me to solve this issue.

    Encashment field did not get updated....
    This happens to us in the following instance...
    Our checks numbers are as follows with zeroes in front... 0000000121558
    The BAI file from the bank has the number listed as 121558. We have a process to convert the BAI file to a .txt format and add seven zeroes in front of the number in the file before processing. We had a new user that forgot this step. Without the zeroes added to the file to match the check numbers, our encashment field did not get updated. We had to do it manually.

  • Issue with electronic bank statement upload

    Hi All,
              Presently I face an inssue in posting electronic bank statement upload (Tcode - ff_5).
    The scenario goes like this.
             First we do payment to vendor using 'f110' transaction.Here the document currency is different from local currency.Let us say we paid 100 EBP i.e, approximately 177 USD.
    After the payment we get statement from Bank (in this case BAI format).In the bank statement due to exchange rate difference the amount will not be exactly 177 USD but slightly different like 185 USD or may be 170 USD.
           At this point we have to upload this statement using transaction 'FF_5' to system.Here obviously the differential amount goes to the system ( 185 USD or 170 USD).
    Now the issue is we have to post this difference amount like USD 8 or USD 7 to a specific GL account ( 11800 or any other GL acc number ).
    The 'FF_5' transaction updates the tables 'FEBKO,FEBEP' by using the programs 'RFEBBU00',
    'RFEBBU10'.There is an exit also like 'FEB00001'. We can put this difference amount in one of the fields of FEBEP table by using this exit.
       But the point I don't know is how to post this difeerence amount 8 or 7 USD to a specific G/l account ? I could not locate in the above program 'RFEBBU00' where the posting happens ?
    Thanks for any help.
    Vinod.

    Hi Sharaad & Naga,
                         Thanks for the replies.One more doubt, Will I have to use these function modules inside the exit or do I need to change the sap standard program to incorporate these FM calls ?
    Thanks
    Vinod.

  • 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.

  • Bank Statement Clearing - Multicash

    Hi FI Gurus,
    This is in regard with Automatic Clearing of Incoming payments from
    customers while uploading Electronic Bank Statement (Format Multicash)
    for Germany.
    We have setup the system to clear the Customer open items while
    uploading the bank statement on the basis of document number. Bank
    Statement comes with the Customer invoice document number and the same
    gets cleared automatically after uploading the statement.
    Customer Invoice Document number comes at field 18 in the bank
    statement. An eg is herebelow where 100000034 is the Document number:-
    "20320500";"4989127861";1727;17.03.08;84223600;"Gutschrift";"Gutschrift";0;"051";"2703";9850,00;0;33;14.03.08;"";"";"KD.NR.";"RE.100000034 VOM
    28.02.08 E";"URO 9850,00 ./. 160,41
    SK";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"";"MAX
    JENNE";"";"21050000";"0053004559";"051";27031981
    Now, the issue is to achieve the automatic clearing for the Cutover
    open items. Since the cutover open items will be uploaded with the new
    SAP Invoice Document numbers and Bank Statements will be coming with
    old customer inovice document numbers, there will not be any automatic
    clearing of these items.
    Kindly suggest a wayout to clear these cutover open items while
    uploading the bank statement. Would it be possible to clear the items
    on the basis of Reference no. where old document number will be given
    while posting the document in SAP and hence the Reference no in SAP and
    document no in bank statement file at field 18 can be matched.
    I hope I am clear in the question.
    Thanks!
    Vikash

    The Posting date is not defined in the BAI file.  The program should pick up the statement date in the BAI file and populate the posting date with the same value.  In reading through the documentation for the program RFEBKA00 which is run via FF.5, I discovered that the include program RFEKA700 deals with BAI format.  The file that is downloaded from the bank, contains multiple accounts and their respective activity for that respective day.  When we import the file, all the other accounts are handled correctly.  That is to say that the posting date that gets populated in the clearing document is set to the statement date from the file.  The issue that we are facing has to deal with the last account being sent in the file.  On this account, the activity is missing the posting date so the system sets the posting date to the current date.  When I review the line items from the file in FEBA, the last activity item in the file has the correct posting date, the rest of the activity items do not have the correct posting date.  I can review this information by looking at table FEBEP.  On the last records for the Bank Statement Date's file, associated with the last account in the file, field BUDAT does not have anything populated in the field.
    I am at a total loss as to why this would work for all the other accounts and only the last activity item on the last account when I process the file.
    Suggestions?

  • 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?

    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.
