Failing Search String in EBS through IDOC

Dear All,
we upload our EBS through idoc processing of type finsta. The problem is that for a particular bank theres a search string attached which will replace the posting rule if a certain but fix narration (say "Trf 66852") is received in note to payee field apart from the fixed external transaction code. The problem is that, in the idoc segment, though i am putting the same fixed narration as Trf66852 however the posting rule is not replacing. I am not able to determine even if the search string is working. I tried checking in EBSTS but apart from two blank lines nothing much is appearing. If anyone ever come across this issue pls share your experience.

Hi Subha,
The Notes to payee updates from FINSTA IDoc should work.
1. If you want to know if the configured search string is working or not, you can simulate it in OTPM, where the search strings are defined in the search string definition > Simulation. You need to entry the text from bank in Simulation and click on test.
2. Secondly, you can check in table FEBRE where the notes to Payee fields are updated.

Define Search String for EBS in SAP 4.6c

Hi All,
I have some question for search string for EBS in SAP 4.6c. I have already done this thing in ECC 6 and work well with "target field" as account number. but in 4.6c target field account number doesn't exist. Please suggest me, if there is a same way like account number target field in 4.6c?
Thanks in advance
Glenn

Hi Shanumonu,
Thx for the answer, you save my life!
But I have another issued. I already implement SE11 instruction, but item with wrong note to payee number from MT940 keep cleared. Do you have suggestion for me?
Thanks,

Define Search String for EBS

Has anyone ever used target field EBFK0A1 BDC Account Type successfully? If so, can you please explain the basic settings?
We want to influence changing the G/L account number for posting area 1, line item 1. Any specific examples would be very helpful. We wish to avoid the creation of a new posting rule for each G/L account.
Regards,
Sandy

When creating search strings, I use both the mapping and the target field - the mapping is the value that is assigned to the target field. Take my ACH RETURN example from my previous post. The text ACH RETURN comes through in the note to payee and I use that to change the posting rule to posting rule Z120.
I set up a search string with search string value "ACH RETURN" and the following mapping:
A->Z
C->1
H->2
space->0
R->blank
E->blank
T->blank
U->blank
R->blank
N->blank
Then in the search string usage, I assigned the search string to target field "Posting Rule".
When the BAI file is loaded, if SAP finds "ACH RETURN" in the note to payee, it maps that value to Z120 and then assigns Z120 to the Posting Rule. Make sense?
No, we do not have any cross-company transactions coming through in our BAI files.
We do not have any cases where one transaction in the BAI file offsets transactions in multiple GL accounts. We do have situations where one transaction in the BAI file offsets multiple transactions in one GL account. For most of those cases, I'm using interpretation algorithm 121 (Reference document number search without test read) and using a search string to extract the reference number from the note to payee that matches to the reference number on the documents.
We do, however, have a scenario where we use a user exit to select multiple transactions from a GL account to clear against one transaction from the bank statement. The user exit is ZXF01U01 (Enhancement FEB00001, Function Module EXIT_RFEBBU10_001). We have logic in the user exit to find the line items to clear and populate those line items in table T_FEBCL. SAP then uses T_FEBCL to post the BAI transaction. If your user can come up rules for clearing the transactions from the multiple GL accounts, you might be able to use this user exit to accomplish the clearing.
If the user cannot come up with rules that you can program, then I would suggest a process change. Either the postings need to be originally made as one posting to one account. Or once the multiple items are posted, they need to be manually cleared into one account/one posting prior to the BAI file being loaded. Or you leave the process of posting to multiple GL accounts as is and the user has to clear the postings manually via post-processing (FEBA/FEBAN).
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Shannon

Issue With Similar Search Strings in EBS

Hi Everybody, I'm experiencing some issue regarding a Search String that I have, the config is very similar, the only difference between one and the other is that there's a specific posting rule for one particular account.
EG: Search String 1: (^)ACCOUNT TRANSFER TRSF TO( |$)
Search String 2:(^)ACCOUNT TRANSFER TRSF TO 1111111111( |$)
(Where 1111111111 is the bank account)
Same Extenral transaction, NTRF, Same house bank and account id. Same Comapny also
But when executing a Statement with the 1st one it works fine, but when runing the 2nd one it does not use any of them(it takes the Posting rule set for NTRF in the EBS configuration).
I've tested it in the SS test and it takes the right posting rule.
If you have any clue on this I'll really appreciate it.
Regards
Luciano

I apologize for the above and the thread has been posted here as I was unable to access the correct category due to some technical issues with Oracle forums. Also, the mentioned issue is in critical state and has a deadline so thought of posting to get it resolved as soon as possible. Specific categorization will be surely taken care in future.

Need help on search string in EBS

Hi,
We have a situation where multiple BAI transactions comes with same code, ex: 451 and based on the text in the note to payee they need to be posted to different clearing accounts.
I did config taking advantage of search string and posting rule in tareget field (EBVGINT)
For some reason getting an error message saying " Account symbol in account assignment not replaceable"
For example of CITI in the note to payee, my config is like this :
Created Account symbol CITI, Assigned GL account to account symbol CITI and account modifier as CITI too
Created posting key as CITI and posting rules are posting rule CITI , 40 (debit) post to bank accounting (option 1) for account symbol CITI and 50 (credit) post to bank as account symbol with posting to bank accounting (option 1) document type SA.
In the search string section, created a search string CITI with source (text from note to payee) and target as CITI (posting rule key)
then this searchs tring has been assigned to the company code, house bank, no algorithm, target field as posting rule and no prefix.
Can anybody explain me why i am getting the above error message based on this config ??
Thanks in advance
uma

Hi Uma,
The search string works this way:
Step 1: You define a search string. The search string should be a unique word or number or a combination which appears in the 88 record of the BAI statement. In the definition:
a. you give a name for the search string
b. a definition or long text
c. the search string - the unique word you want the system to search for in the 88 record. Please note that the search string you enter here should appear exactly in the same way in your bank statement.
d. you map this search string to a Posting rule or cost center or whatever you want to replace in the next step.
Step 2. Here you tell the system how this mapped information (in (d) above) is to be used. The mapped information could be used as a posting rule, as cost center, as profit center or in any way you want if you define your own logic.
The usage could be specific to a House bank, Account ID, Company code, BAI code combination or you can leave it as generic so that it will be used for all House Bank and Account ID in all company code.
But I would advise you to keep it very specific otherwise the results would not be what you want to be.
To answer your question: Also, do i need to add the entries in transaction type and assign them to the external transaction and posting rule ?
It is not required. But if you have assigned a posting rule under the Transaction type, the configuration in search string will override it. So you really don't need the assignment of posting rule under transaction type, but I would advise you to do it because if the system does not find your search string, then it will take this assignment as default.
Hope I made myself clear.

Define search string EBS

Hi,
I have defined a search string for EBS with Target field BDC
1) "Blank - BDC Name 1 - BSEG-ZUONR" and
2) "Map - BDC Value 1 - ".
The mapping is working perfectly.
The posting rule entry is
40 Bank a/c
50 Bank clg a/c.
The ZUONR field on the debit entry is populated but I also want the ZUONR field on the credit entry to be populated. Does this require any additional setting?
Regards,
Hemant

Hi
I saw that you succeed to use a search string in the EBS integration, and put some information in BSEG-ZUONR ?
Would you please let me know the details of the settings ? I understand the rough indications you put in your question, but did not succeed myself to reproduce the correct settings :
I've created 2 mapping rules,
one for mapping constant 'BSEG-ZUONR' which is used for target field BDC Field Name 1
one for mapping the value to be used with target field BDC Field Value 1
Example : note to payee contains 'Payment number 123456'
My first string map the NTP to 'BSEG-ZUONR'
My second string is to retrieve 123456 from the NTP
In the 'search string' usage, i have assigned the first one to target field 'BDC Field name1', and the second one to 'BDC Field value 1', and my expectation was to receive '123456' in the FI document generated (field BSEG-ZUONR) but it did not happen.
I don't use any interpretation algorithm, and the posting rule is quite simple : 40 Bank 50 Bank IN rec account.
Please let me know what i missed

EBS: Posting on account to Customer through search string

We are attempting an on account posting to the customer account based on the customer name in the bank statement. The configuration looks as follows.
1. Posting rule reflects the setting for posting area 1 and 2. For the second posting area the credit account is blank with posting key 15 and posting type 3
TL04, 1, 40, BANK, 50, BANK TRANSITORY, SA, 1
TL04, 2, 40, BANK TRANSITORY, 15, (BLANK), DZ, 3
2. The search string maps the customer name to customer number
3. The search string use looks as below
BDC Account type = 3
BDC Field name = RF05A-NEWKO
BDC Field Value = Customer number (as mapped to the search string)
4. No interpretation algorithm is used both in search string and in assignment of exterrnal transaction types to posting rules
The second posting to customer cannot be created and it is not able to use the customer number defined n the search string. The value * is passed and goes in error log. Please share your inputs.
Thanks,

Rupesh,
refer to below link which gives more flexibility by using USER EXIT.
http://www.se80.co.uk/sapfms/e/exit/exit_rfebbu10_001.htm
Using exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001 and structures
FEBEP or FEBKO or FEBCL . You abapper would help you further.

Using EBS search strings to allocate a customer profit center

Hi All,
I am using IHC for my incoming payments. I use substitution for profit centers in customer orders, I would like the EBS to automatically deposit into the customer's account using the same profit center used when creating the customer orders. I have been researching on the use of search string, whoever am failing to see how to set this up.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Godhelp

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for your response. Here are the results of my latest test.
I set the algorithms in both the transaction mapping and the search string allocation to "021". FEBSTS did not find the imbedded reference numbers.
I left the algorithms in the transaction mapping at "021", but added "000" to the search string allocation (so that both "000" and "021" were active there). FEBSTS did execute the search strings and returned the reference numbers.
Unless there is some magic somewhere or I am really misunderstanding something, all of my tests are telling me that the simulation (and presumably the live program) will NOT execute the search strings properly unless "000" is active in the search string functionality, and that means the document retrieval must be done in the user exit.
This may be part of why SAP recommends that one does not use MT940, but one must deal with what one has.

EBS Auto Subledger posting - Search String

Hi
Can any one give some detail on how. EBS - Search string config work.
requirement is that on customer is paying in a single payment for different invoices.
all the invoice numbers are quoted in the FINSTA, can we make FINSTA work to automatch all the invoice numbers coming in Bank statement through Search string or in some other way.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Kalyan

Kalyan,
For your scenario, the search string configuration won't work. Search string is usually meant to change the assignment of transaction code, cost center, profit center, etc a bit different than the configuration.
For your situation, you need to make use of user-exits, wherein you can search for open items which can be cleared based on your specified criteria.
Enhancement FEB00001 available in standard SAP can be made use of for your purposes.

Vishal.

When same search strings are given, during EBS upload system not picking up

Hi,
We have a total of 7 company codes and have different -different seach strings assigned to each of them in EBS config. But now my client want to have a same seach string for two company codes, when configured in ECC 6.0 , and tried to upload the statement neither of the company codes are getting the bank statement uplaoded. Is there a way where we can assign company code wise so that the bank statement gets uploaded.
Thanks and Regards
Sri

Hi,
I think this should be possible. Different company codes will have different House banks and Accounts ID.
The same search string can be used for each of the company code and house banks. This happend when after defining the search string, you assign these strings as above.
Tip : Please also check in the "TEST", by copying the search string from the bank file and see if the mapping is being hit.

Thanks a lot in advance...............

Hi Paulo,
Thanks for the reply. However i have the following setting and it still does not work..
Mapping -> AB01
When i do the simulation it shows the Number and the hits and mapping.
In the Seach String use i have following settings:
CC 1000

I need a search string which will recognize PAYPAL and BOOK
I have tried : (|)PAYPAL + BOOK( |$)    or (|)PAYPAL / BOOK( |$)but in the test it is not successfull.
Any help is appreciation

Hi
Does SAP treat multiple record 88 lines on the EBS as one continuous line for a single 16 record?
I used the string ^PAYPAL ?*DOTCOM PARTNERS LP$ based on your suggestion and uploaded a EBS statement.
The system did not post anything, even though in string test if I enter the follwowing line it displays correct results
:PAYPAL TRANSFER 110403 522222222454W DOTCOM PARTNERS LP/
Our EBS statement has the following data:
16,169,20000,,,00000000000,/
88,OTHER REFERENCE:IA0000122222222/
88,PAYPAL TRANSFER 110403 522222222454W DOTCOM PARTNERS LP/
Any advise is appreciated.

699 code is assigned to posting rule ZBCH. This BAI code is sent by Citibank in 3 scenarios. For two scenarios, I have tried to replace posting rule ZBCH with some other value. In one case search string works, but it did not work in above case. Above example produced posting to ZBCH posting rule instead of ZDDR.
2.)
BAI2 file has following information

G - SWIFT
Activated search string as for previous one
495 bai code is assigned to posting rule ZOEF. This BAI code is sent by Citibank in 2 scenarios. For above scenario, I have tried to replace posting rule ZOEF with ZCKO. But it did not work. In above case, system tried to process record using posting rule ZOEF instead of ZCKO.
Can you please tell why system is not able to select desired posting rule for processing ? Appreciate feedback.
-Thanks
