FF_5 - Import Bank Statement, Err: Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

Hi
When importing the bank statement I'm getting the error
Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL ; see next message
Why is it doing this? In OKB9 I have the GL Account and the cost center assigned. It is the ne GL that is giving this problem, in the classic GL I do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi
No, it is not that. For some reason in the new GL it does not seem to determine the cost centers and profit centers as usual.
For exampl to allocate the Profit Center for Balance Sheet Account I used to use 3KEH in the classic gl but in the New gl we must use FAGL3KEH.
Now with cost center i'm having the same problem, does not determine the cost center when importing the bank statement.
Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance

  • Ff_5 Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

    When automatically posting bankstatements we have several searchstrings in place.
    Most of them post against a bookingrule, but in this case I have a posting on a costcenter as well.
    I created two equal searchstrings, one for the bookingrule and one for the costcenter.
    When executing FF_5 SAP only books in area 1 and not in area 2. The error message states:
    00: 298 Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL.
    The costcenter is an active one, it is also in OKB9 linked to the cost account number.
    Profitcenter is default.
    What does this message mean, and how can I find out what I did wrong? I am absolutely sure I have made no typo when entering the costcenter in the mapping area of the searchstring.

    Hi Siermann,
    How are you mapping these two in search string , could you tell me ..?..
    Seems to be that cost center is mandatory field but the field is suppressed in GL.
    Thanks,

  • Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER - FF_5 Upload

    Hi Experts,
    When I upload the bank statement in FF_5, I am getting the following error.
    "Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER ; see next message"
    If I make the field "Businees Area" Optional in Field Status Group of the "Bank Main Accout", then I am not getting the above error and the posting also happens to the "Bank Main Account".
    But if I make "Business Area" Required Entry Field then I get the above error.
    Is there any other method to rectify this problem, i.e can this be resolved even after keeping Business Area as a required field.
    Pl advice.
    Rgds,
    Prasad.

    Hi,
    I hope making Business area optional field is not a wise decision...user may go without inputting the business area in the field which later on will create problem for clearing...
    If required go for activating user exit FEB00001... which will give you the business area...
    try the same with your ABAPer....
    Cheers

  • FF_5 - Import Bank Statements, Balancing field "Profit Center"

    Hi
    When importing the bank statement I get the error Error: (GLT2 201) Balancing field "Profit Center " in line item 001 not filled when using the NEW GL only.
    I know why I'm getting the error, the document is trying to determine a Profit Center, I do want it to determine for the balance sheet also. Also due to making it mandatory in document splitting rules I get this error.
    Now my problem is HOW DO I ASSIGN A PROFIT CENTER?? In the past in the classic GL I would use 3KEH and that would do the trick. It does not work now.
    How do we assign a profit center for bank import postings???
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Thanks, that solved it.
    Can you please tell me the one for the cost center?? It is also giving an error it can not determine cost center but I have entered it in OKB9.
    Then can you tell me the path for the profit center.
    Thank you for your assistance.

  • FF_5 : Electronic Bank Statement.

    Dear All,
    Need to get some inputs regarding t-code FF_5 (EBS).
    1. When we import electronic bank statement (swift format) where is the entries are getting stored in the table level.
    2. Can we create some customized field in the program through IMG, if so how to we do that.
    A stet by step procedure is required.
    Best Regards,
    Rajagopalan

    1. When we import electronic bank statement (swift format) where is the entries are getting stored in the table level.
    FEBKO
    FEBVW
    FEBEP
    FEBRE
    2. Can we create some customized field in the program through IMG, if so how to we do that.
    please have a look at note 494777. there are several user exits, open-fi events, badi, .. for enhancements in the electronic bank statement process. maybe you can avoid a modification in the tables with these enhancements. moreover you can use BDC fields in transaction FEBAN (subsequent processing), if you want to fill certain fields in the posting, which are not included in FEBAN.
    For Example: fill the taxcode in the subledger posting
    ("sorry, can't remember all the fields by heart")
    BDC-fieldvalue1 = V1
    BDC-fieldname1 = BSEG-MWSKZ
    BDC-("account type") = 1 (first line, subledger posting)

  • Import Bank statement: Process External Bank Statement

    Hi,
    I am currently using SAP Business One 2007A PL45 Australia localization and I would like to use the Process External Bank Statement module.
    However I have to key in my Bank Statement manually. Is the any methods/add-on that can provide the Bank statement import?
    As the BTHF and Format Definition is not available for Australia localization, is there any other options?
    Regards,
    Jack

    This is helpful
    question - anyone know why the "import external bank statement" process was removed from the US localization? 
    seems like a big hassle if you have to reconcile daily to teach an accountant to use the DTW tool.
    would love to know any other options to make this easier or more automated
    thanks

    When we import bank statement in SAP then if party have any open invoive either A/P or A/R it should be reflect for making incomming or outgoing payment. Its totally depends on which type of posting method user have mapped.
    After that SAP user can adjust or reconcile all bank transaction. If user double clicks on row then new window again open for adjustment.

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

  • Error when importing Bank statement in FF_5 (FB736)

    Hi all,
    Our customer in Germany says that they have format MT940 (STA-file..?) of their bank statement. I have done configuration but when I try to import the file I first get following error message:
    House bank table: No entry with bank key XXXXXX and acct 461XXXXXXXXXEUR
    Message no. FB736
    Diagnosis
    The house bank tables (T012 and T012K) did not have an entry with bank key XXXXXXXX and account number 461XXXXXXXXXEUR.
    461 is not a part of their account number so I don´t know why it is there. Is MT940 not a standard file used in Germany? In FF_5 I have used S SWIFT MT940 with field 86 structured.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  • Importing bank statement FF.5

    Hi everyone,
    I have a issue when i import the BAI bank statement through the FF.5 transaction. after importing the system generates the batch input, but when i let it start under only error mode, i have to fill out the business area every line item. I would like to avoid this issue. Please advice me
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    First of all you check in your Field status Group, whether Business Area Field is mandatory or not if it is mandatory then make it optional.
    Second thing if you are using ECC 6.00 and your New GL - Document Splitting is activated then go to below path and untick against Business area
    SPRO> IMG> Financial Accounting (New)> General Ledger Accounting (New)> Business Transactions > Document Splitting >Document Splitting Charactristic For general Ledger
    If there Business Area Field is mandatory then remove tick from there.
    hope your problem will get sorted out.
    thx
