hi Guru,
i am configuring Electronic Bank statement for my company and facing a scenario.
we make payment to our employees for re-imbursment of their expenses. it is done through straight to bank facility of standard chartered bank. we make payment in SAP employee code wise and update a batch in bank (S2B).
Bank use 508 swift code for such payments and in string 61 after N508 it is updating its own reference and our our employee reference is being updated in string 86
i have following Questions
what configuration /interpretation algorithm should i use to auto clear such payment as by using 015 interpretaion algorithm i am not able to auto clear the outgoing bank
second have i write a search string to read the data form stirng 86 instead of 61. if yes please give me step to step solution
my solution is ready to deliever and i am stuck on tihs point. if it is not done all my effort will be in vain
i am expecting very quick slution as ever

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?

Electronic bank statement MT940 format (field 86 structured)

Hi guru
I receive from UBS bank an EBS in MT940 format.
With trx FF_5 I need to import with format 'S' (MT940 field 86 structured).
While import the error message 'Data lenght error in record 86' is displayed and I can't import the file.
But If I change the import format from 'S' to 'I' (MT940 field 86 unstructured) the import works.
Somebody has an idea how I can always import with the same fomat?
Thank you in advance
Tiziano

Hi
thank for your answer.
I open a case to SAP because is a technical problem with the bank file.

EBS - Electronic Bank Statement (MT940) - Not to be posted error

Hi
I have done the EBS configuration for MT940 and uploaded the file through FF.5 and the fiel is uploaded and the same is coming in FF.6. Though I defined posting rule properly it is not clearing and no entry is getting posted. When I go to FEBA it is coming with Red Symbol and If I select the item and click on POST it is not posting.
If I checked it in FF67, it is showing as Not to be posted.
Can anybody help me where the mistake is.

Brahma

I did a config mistake. I corrected it.

Automatic bank reconciliation with Electronic bank statement

Deal All,
As mentioned in the subject of this mail, this is to request for your inputs to advice the configuration steps with process for Configuration of Electronic Bank Statment in R3 to eneble the user for automatic bank reconciliation with clearing customer/vendor open items.Please send confi doc.
Request you to provide documentation if possible along with your valuble advices.

Hi
I implemented the EBS in my company 4 month ago and here are some advises on the problems i experienced in the setup process. As for the setup process it is straightforward just read the manual at help.sap.com.
We used the MT940 format for importing bank statements from our bank.
The first thing i would advice you to do is make a list of all the possible transactions that are to be handled by the EBS application.
Then make estimation of how many payments that are recieved in constant structured way which the EBS can handle. (invoice number in the text)
The people in our accounting department complained alot about the output format in the EBS not being userfreindly compared to the advises they recieved in e-mail form from the bank so if not the bulk of your payments can be processed automatically it might not be worth the trouble to implement it. (i still think they uses the the email to postprocess the transactions that was not automatically cleraed)
Make sure you havent got any other applications handling some of the transactions that are contained in the bank statement because this wont work. eg. we had a program automatically placing fx trades on customer and bank account which meant that when we recieved the fx trade on the statement it was already placed and therefore had to be placed on a interims account for later reversal.
We get alot of bankcharges on our payments and we set up the EBS to place them automatically on a bankcharge account if the difference between the recieved amount on the invoice was less that 30 dollars.(we just assume that a difference is a bank charge) This means that a customer if he wants to always can pay x dollars under the invoice amount because it will be automatically processed and therefore go unnoticed.
Establish a contact in your bank who knows how their MT940 format has been structured.
Then contact your bank and get them to provide some test statements of old bank statements.
Make sure that you are not the first customer for using the MT940 format or else you will end up being ginny pig for the banks possible mistakes.
As i learned the way banks interpret the MT940 format guidelines can varry quite alot eg. the ocmt field our bank interpreted as the original payed amount in its original currency. SAP inprets this field as the recieved amount in its original currency and therefore it always try to clear the OCMT amount if availleble which meant it always tried to clear the original amount even though there had been taken som bankcharges underways.
I also found out that our bank didnt really bother to specify the type of transaction (interest, fx contract, bank charges, check and so on) which meant we only had two external transaction codes availleble s103 for incomming payments and ntrf for outgoing payments. This gave alot of trouble as i had to identify the type of transaction through seach algorithms.
Our bank also had trouble creating the MT940 file because it has a limited number of characters availleble which meant in the initial file that it only gave the first x characters of each line and then left out the rest. This meant that the text was broken into alot of pieces and you hardly ever had a complete invoice number to clear on. We had the bank altering their format so they now leave out text at the end of the transaction instead.
In the implementation process we experienced that the EBS application created a payment advice each time the amount of the payment didnt match the invoice in the system. We implemented a note from service.sap which disabled this and just assigned the difference to a bankcharge account.
I dont know if you can use these advices but just felt i would try to warn you about the potential problems that i experienced in the process. .
If you have concrete questions to the EBS setup feel free to contact me and i will see if i can help you.

Error in uploading MT940 format - Electronic bank statement

Hi
I am configuring the electronic bank statement.Here I am able to do so using the Swift MT940 international format. Bank Statement is imported and postings made to bank account.
One bank will provide the data in MT940 format. I tried using the MT940 file directly, however I get the message - Account statement not updated.
Please help to reslove the error

Hi,
As Nikhil said, we have two different files in MT940 (structured and unstructured). Select correct one while processing.
And also check if you maintain external transactions and posting rules for them in the configuration.
Thanks.

Electronic bank statement upload - SWIFT MT940 format...

Hi All,
i am first doing the electronic bank statement upload to SAP.
i already done the related config for this. i did check with my Client bank about the statement format and they able to provide the statement in SWIFT MT940 only not in multi cash format.
Is any body done this before i mean upload the MT940 format to SAP. If so please share your experience with me.
i need:
1) The format of SWIFT MT940 file.
2) Is any SAP notes related to this format?
one important thing is -> 1) is this SWIFT MT940 format got two files(statement file and line item file ) like mult icash format or only one file.
2) if this format got only one file in which field we have to use to upload this file in TCODE. FF_5. -> Line item field or statement filed.
Thank you very much.

Electronic bank mt940 step by step configuration document

hi all,
can any body send me a step by step electronic bank mt940 configuration document.
Its little bit important we are implementing mt940 format.
regards,
sudhakar

Hello, Hope the following information is helpful. There are different programs to upload electronic bank statement. FF.5 or FF_5. I think your case Multicash format you are using. You need have three files in FF.5 and two files in FF_5 You can prepare a Z program in order to truncate the electronic bank statement into two or three part files and save them on the application server. 1. Take all the external codes list from bank. 2. Take any available documentation from the Bank describing the relevance of the external codes. 3. Make sure that your Chart of Accounts (Bank Accounts) last digits logic is appropriate to meet the requirements. 4. Based on this decide the Account Symbols that are required to be created. 5. Make sure that the masking rules are configured properly. 6. Decide the posting rules that needs to be created. 7. Link up your external symbols provided by the bank with Posting rules and give proper algorithms for posting and clearing logic. 6. Concentrate on the posting areas to be posted while uploading the bank statement. Further explanation would help you to understand the functionality when uploaded the electronic bank statement. Main purpose of uploading the bank statement into SAP is to make your Bank Main Account and physical bank statement balance in sync. You do not have any traditional Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) report in SAP. SAP is normally you maintain bank main account and bank sub account. Whenever you make a payment through F-53 or F-58 or F110, the entry would be: Vendor Account Dr To Bank Sub Account The ending digits of the sub-account would be important in configuring the masking rule. Based on this masking rule when you upload the bank statement the entry the system would pass is: Bank Sub Account Dr To Bank Main Account It depends on the configuration, either the sub account will be cleared by the system automatically or you need to run F.13 to clear the sub accounts. At the time of receipts, you have different accounting entries unlike payments. It needs to post to two posting areas. 1. GL Accounting 2. Sub-Ledger Accounting The entries would system itself pass is: Bank Main Account Dr To Bank Sub Account Bank Sub Account Dr To Cutomer account. Clearing logic mentioned for your posting rules and the alogrithm used for your external bank symbols will also play pivotal role in clearing the accounts. Ideally you will use FF67 / FF.5 / FF_5 for uploading manual or electronic bank statement FEBA / FEBA_BANK_STATEMENT is used for furthe rprocessing. GO THROUGH SAP NOTE 48854 Please go through SAP Note. 48854. You will get an idea regarding the functionality of the algorithms. Though this note is in relevant to GB specific, you will find this very useful. description follows below regarding the normal procedure for maintaining table T028G. Due to the different bank codes and posting rules, pre-Customizing is not possible at this point. The following processing types are available - unless stated otherwise, you should use the interpretation algorithm: '000 - No interpretation' in each case. 1. '00': There is no processing. The entry line is ignored. 2. '01': A validation is made whether an entry exists for the transferred check number in the check table (PAYR). The check number and payment document number are transferred for further processing. Interpretation algorithm: outgoing check processing '011'-'013'; the update in the check file is via the interpretation algorithm. 3. '02': Transfer of the ending balance to the electronic bank statement 4. '03': Transfer of the opening balance to the electronic bank statement 5. '04': Clearing via the allocation number which is delivered with the bank statement. No interpretation algorithm. 6. '05': Clearing of BACS payments or BACS bank collection. The reference text field is first read to ascertain whether it involves payments initiated by users or bank collection via BACS. Providing it does involve a cash transaction initiated by the user, the payment document numbers concerned are determined via the reference number and transferred as a reference to further processing. Interpretation algorithm: '000 - No interpretation' or '019 - Reference number DME'. Note To differentiate between the two procedures in table T028G, you have to maintain two separate entries. Example: the bank uses bank code '62' for cash receipts and for BACS bank collection. Ext. Transaction +/- sign Posting rule Int. Algorithm Processing type 62 + GB62 001 5 62 SAPBACS + GB63 000 5 7. '06': Bank costs or interest revenues Recommended interpretation algorithm: '000 - No interpretation' 8. '07': Total amount of cash disbursements 9. '08': Total amount of cash receipts 10. '09': Items not paid Recommended interpretation algorithm: '000 - No interpretation' Regards, Ravi

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.

Anyone?

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.

Electronic Bank Reconciliation

Dears,
We are on our way to implement electronic bank reconciliation in our SAP system.
However, there are certain points I am not very clear. Could you please offer your valuable comments:
WE understand that we can download the data from the Bank in approved data format such as (BAI, MT*, etc.) and directly upload into the system.
But what is the difference between these:
- What is MT100 & MT940 format ?
- Do they serve the same purpose ?
We are planning to use MT940 Statement uploading.

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 (EBRS)

Dear Experts
My client so far BRS is doing manually through T.Code: FF67 or FF68.
Initially the configuration is done wit two GL accounts, (1) Main bank account ending with +++++++0 ,(2) Outgoing clearing account ending with ++++++1 and there is no incoming clearing account, whenever the client issue the cheque credit to the outgoing clearing account and debit to the vendor account and whenever receive the cheque Debit to the Incoming clearing account is debit & Credit to the Customer. and the same manual BRS is completed very weel without problems.
But now as per client requirement I have to do run Electronic bank reconcilation in the system using T.code : FF_5. I have received file format SWIFT MT940 from banks about 5banks and rest of the banks around 25 babnks they have to continue with manual BRS FF67 / 68 only.
so i should not change the configuration , so i have to continue with existing configuration and have to complete the EBRS using with two GL account (main bank, outgoing clearing ) , if i continue with existing configuration shall i complete the EBRS with extra additional settings (Assign External Transaction Types to Posting Rules, and Assign Bank Accounts to Transaction Types ) using T.Code: FF_5.
what is the impact, whether i can complete EBRS or not, kindly advice on this how i have to procssed futher.
Please advice on this and what is the impact on EBRS or manuall BRs.
Regards
Eswar

Hi ,
there are two different Different Transcations to maintain for EBRS and MBS..there will not b any impact.
the only difference is you will manually upload the File in FF.5 and where as for Manual you will update manually throw FF67/68.
After uploading the file ,you can check in FEBA For reconcilation.
PLease Correct me if I am worng
Thanks

Hi,
no problem working with two accounts in your business process. In this case your reconciliation will be like before.
Anyhow FF_5 (FF.5) or FF67 do the same thing. Post transactions from the bank statement. To learn more about the accounts used in your company check the transaction OT83.
