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 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 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 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.

  • 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 Determining Incorrect Business Partners

    Have an issue with some electronic bank statements we import into SAP. Several of the line items we get from the bank identify the incorrect business partner when creating the payment advice. We are using intepretation algorirthm 001 to interpret the Note to Payee field in the statment.
    We do have 5 search strings in place which do successfully replace the text in the Note to Payee and replace with the vendor #. These work just fine.
    What is weird to me is that when I repeat the issue in another environment and simulate using FEBSTS, it is finding "document numbers" that are text strings and somehow determining the vendor from that. I cannot figure out what logic it is using to do this and why it thinks that when it sees ABCDEGF in the Note to Payee it should be for vendor 1234555, for example.
    These are files from Citibank and the Note to Payee field is in German if that make any difference. The easy solution is to setup search strings that correspond to the text found in there like we do for the other 5 instances which would solve it but we probably won't catch all instances upfront and this issue will still be present;
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • 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.

  • 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
    OSS Note 597428 - El.accnt statement: Customer-specific interpret.algorithms
    OSS Note 549277 - FAQ: Electronic account statement

  • 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
