Electronic Bank statement - Search STring definition

hi,
I have set up electronic bank statement.
And because from the bank statement, the bank charges are shown in the "note to payee field". I have used the search string definition to help me.
I have set up in search string definition to identify the bank charges. After which, i defined the search string use .
I have set up such that :
Int algthm is "standard Algorithm"
String name - Search string for my bank charges.
Target Fld "EBSPESK Fees in account currency
I do not know how the Bank charges can be posted using the above rule.
I tried testing with my bank statement, only my line amount get posted. My bank charges apearing in the note to payee is not posted anywhere.
Could you please throw some light into the issue.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

I was using the posting type = 4.
Since my transaction hits the debits clearing account and credit the bank amount.
However to allow posting to bank charges, what posting type should i use ? posting type "8" ?

Electronic Bank Statement Search Strings Customer Item Clearing

I have configured EBS and I am trying to clear open items from customer accounts using Search Strings.
I have mapped the customer account on the bank statement to the SAP customer account. For example, Victor Osagie is mapped to account 1400036.
When I process transactions with exactly the same note to payee as above, open items in the customer account clear. However, when the note to payee field changes for example to Victor Osagie 110000000. The customer is recognised but the item is not cleared from the customer account.
The statement format is BAI and we are using the BAI processor.
How can I manipulate the search strings to allow the clearing of items like this?

Bank statement search string for posting rule 2

Hello,
I created a search string (also activated) for clearing sub legder account. Folowing are the combinations i tried:
1) ###(.| )#######
2) (^| )###(.| )#######( |$)
3) ###.#######
Open document reference text on header normally carries 3digits followed by a dot and then seven digits. For example:
123.1234567. I also want to include 123 1234567 (sometimes it appears like this in bank statement) but the system should intrepret it as 123.1234567.
I think above string acheived this when i did a TEST (button) next mapping screen on the same screen.
I uploaded the bank statement and then went to another config where you do simulation for a bank statement (uploaded). There the system checks for first three digits only and the document found coloumn is blank (because it checks only first three digits and there are too many probable customers in partner's field).
Posting rule - algorithm is no 21
search string - algorithm is no 21
mapping field in search string - i tried with bland and without blank (###.#######) it is all same.
How to make the system check 3+7 digits with dot? and why it checking only first three digits. Can some help?

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.

Shannon

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 - 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.

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

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.

Electronic Bank Statement BAI file format

Hi,
I am trying to upload electronic bank statement with BAI file format. When I select the file and executed in FF_5, it is not giving any error. Nothing is happening. The same file I have used I was able to upload it. I am searching where it went. I have maintained complete configuration.
Then I have prepared a simple file on my own in text format, that simple file is working fine and able to upload.
Can somebody have any idea why it might have gone wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi

all the file lines are filled with " in the beginning and at the end. Then I replace all those " values and I am able to upload the file. I am not sure how these " values are placed in the file.

hi Anand Raichura,
7 Clear deb.subledg.ac & 8 Clear cred.subl.acct is maintain in create account symbols? or assign accounts to account symbol? or create keys for posting rules? or define posting rules? or create transaction type? or assign external transaction types to posting rules? or assign bank account to transaction types?
Beside, is my text file as below is correct? or need to add some word to define on FB05 vendor clearing?
:20:20100524

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

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.

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
