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

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.

Electronic bank statement Germany

Dear all,
I should configure electronic bank statement for a German customer that should change from one system to SAP. Their format on electronic bank statement is MT940 and in the file they have all transactions that appeared on their bank statement; incoming payments (both manual and by direct debit), outgoing payments (both manual and automatic paymens by file) and other costs as bank fee (total to about 5 cost accounts).
When looking at transaction FF_5 i have some questions:
1. I guess in Germany, when having format MT940, I don´t need to convert the file in FEBC?
2. In FF_5 - elect. bank statement format should be entered, which one should I use?:
G SWIFT MT940- Field 86: Structure Recgnized automatically
I SWIFT MT940 international format (field 86 unstructured)
or
S SWIFT MT940 with field 86 structured?
3. What is the difference by statement file and line item file, should I have both? Today, in their current system, they only import one file from bank, so if I only have one file, which field to use?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards L

Hi,
The ?20, ?21, ... are in the record beginning with :86:.
Here is an example:
:86:835?00PAIEMENT?20FRE / 22548?31xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?32xxxxxxxx
In most cases, you have ?00 and ?20 but there are other possible codes like ?21, ?22, ?23, ?31, ?32, ...
Eventually, the ? may be replaced by another character but I think it is not frequent. In this case, the first character after the 3 digits following :86: is the character replacing the ?.
Look at your MT940 files and you will see the presence or absence of these ?00, ?20, ?21, ... codes in record :86:.
If there are present, it is structured; if not unstructured.

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

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

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.

Ravi

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
Stephen

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.

REnan

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.
Thanks

Electronic Bank Statement and IHC update

Hi SAP Gurus
We are to configure the electronic bank statement in SAP to import all of the items such as deposits, checks, fees, ZBA's, etc for each Real bank account into the IHC (In-house cash) treasury company. Real Bank accounts are represented within IHC as Current account as well as Subsidiary companies.
Could any of you advise how to confirugre EBS in FI which will update Current account in IHC? Could you please guide me in details which configuration items I need to do within IHC (i.e. how to determine what IHC account corresponds to each real bank account)
Also how would I be able to configure IHC's Current Accounts (i.e Subsidiaries) to reflect ZBA physical sweeping cash movements between IHC company and Subsidiaries from EBS in FI?
Thanks for your advice.
taro

Hi Taro,
On uploading the EBS in the HQ/FI, there are basically 4 steps to post a payment order in IHC:
1. Determine if the bank statement items are IHC related
This is done successfully only if the account determination from payment notes or from external bank account is maintained correctly (see point 2).
2. Determine the IHC account (corresponds to the subsidiary) from either -
            a. the payment notes OR
            b. from the external bank account in the EBS
    You need to customize this in the following IMG node
Financial Supply Chain Management -> In-House Cash -> Account Management ->Payment Processes in In-House Cash -> Central Cash Receipt / Incoming Bank Statements -> IHC Account Determination from Payment Notes (OR IHC Account Determination from External Bank Account).
3. Determine the clearing partner account where the offset posting can be made
This can be customized in the following cutomising node:
Financial Supply Chain Management -> In-House Cash -> Account Management ->Payment Processes in In-House Cash -> Central Cash Receipt / Incoming Bank Statements -> Set Up Account Determination for Incoming Payment
4. Find the IHC transaction type for posting the payment order; to be cutomised in the following node:
Define Transaction Types for Incoming Payment -> Define Transaction Types for Incoming Payment
With this you should be able to post a payment order in IHC.
Hope this helps!

Electronic bank statement and new General ledger

Hi all,
we want to implement electronic bank statement and new G/L is active. While uploading the file, we receive an error: No Profit Center could be found. For us it is clear, because in the uplaod file there is no Profit Center. But how can we solve this problem? Can we activate like a user exit with a " dummy PC" for EBS? if yes, where and how? Or is there any SAP solution already provided? We assume this problem is a general problem for all SAP system with new G/L activation.
Thanks in advance.

I found the answer in Customizing new G/L. thanks anyway.

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.

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.

but in that tcode need to specify the statement file and line item files.

if u have any documentation and file formats please send i to me to sandhya.rani at issconsulting.net
thank you very much...
Sandhya Reddy.

Hi Sandhya,
For this you need to do a lot off customizing and testing, perhaps to imlement an user exit.
When you have activated EA-FIN you have more options.
The setup is different by country, bank, record format,.
Have a look in customing and click on help. There are some examples available.
SPRO: Financial Accounting /Bank Accounting/ Business Transactions /Payment Transactions /Manual Bank Statement
The first step is to look to your bank statements from the last year and write down all possible cases and how you post it. (Like customer invoice, bank transaction code XXX in the text you will found the invoice number, bank costs, interest, slaery payments,......)
Based on this you can set-up the rule's (customizing - User exit)
