How to replicate FP bank configuration

In my application I use 14 (fourteen) FieldPoint banks exactly alike:
FP-1601+DO-401+DI-301+AI-100+TC-120.
I would like to configure one bank and then, except for the name and
IP address, just replicate that configuration onto the other 13.
How do I do that?
(I do hope I do not have to manually configure every single chanel for
avery single bank: we are talking about 420+ channels total!!!)
Thanks to all who reply.

Follow the directions below:
Assume that you have the following systems:
System A: System that you will manually configure with the desired settings and item names.
System B: First system you want the configuration to be copied to.
System C: 2nd systems you want the configuration to be copied to.
System n: Last (or nth) system of the identical systems you want the configuration to be copied to.
Hint: You may want to temporarily label each system with its corresponding letter at this point, and label with the IP address after completing step 2.
Make sure that the hardware systems are identical (i.e. FP-2000 is not that same as FP-2010, FP-2010 is not the same as cFP-2010, etc), with identical modules connected.
Configure A, B, C...n's IP address. These will be used later.
Take system B, C...n offline, so that no more changes are made to them at this time.
Configure A with the desired settings that you would like to copy to the other systems.
Make sure that Download item names on Save under Tools>>FieldPoint is checked.
SAVE the .iak file. This will only save the information for system A. This will also download the item names to system A.
Take system A offline so that it can be copied (keep B, C...n offline as well).
Delete A, B, C...n from the Remote System's list and refresh the Remote System tree (press F5). This deletes them from MAX, and from the iak file if you saved it. Do not save the iak file.
Exit and relaunch MAX. Expand remote systems. Only system A should appear with a yellow warning sign (it is loaded from the iak file). Make sure the Model in the network settings page is FieldPoint RT to make sure that it is a FieldPoint (e.g. not PXI) configuration.
Right-click on system A and select Change IP Offline.
Enter the IP address for system B and press OK. The operation will be successful as long as you don't have system B online.
Put system B online.
Press F5 to refresh the Remote Systems tree. System B's icon will now change to the blue FP icon.
Right-click on the Bank item under system B and select Apply configuration to bank. This step will copy the hardware settings to all the I/O modules for bank B.
Take all systems offline and repeat Steps 8 to 14 for all other banks (C...n).
Once done with configuring all the systems, put ALL systems online and do the following steps:
Start with a new iak file
Refresh remote systems (press F5). All configured systems will show up with gray icon.
Do Find Devices on Each system
Save the .iak file (Note: this save will download the Item Names to the respective systems).
To do the same operation in FieldPoint Explorer:
Configure A, B, C...n's IP address. Keep ALL systems online.
Configure A with the desired settings
Save the .iak file (this should also download the item names to system A)
Right-click on commRes in FP Explorer and select Copy (enter the number of copies to be made). This step will add that many items in the FP Explorer tree.
Right click on one of the newly created commRes items in the tree and select Edit this comm Res
Enter B's IP address and click OK.
For Each network and I/O module under B
Right click and select Edit this Device
Select Channel Configuration and then select OK in the Channel Configuration box
Select OK in the device config box
If you want, rename the default commRes to a new name.
Repeat step 5-8 for all other banks
Save the .iak file (Note this will also download items names)

House Bank Configuration/ Assignment

Hi All ,
I need information on House Bank Configuration/ Assignment with respect to business area. Its very urgent.....
regards
PSNG

Bank that your company used for banking purposes.
It is also the first step for configuring your Account Payable Modules.
FI12 - Configure House Bank
House Banks
First Step: We first create House Banks. These are the banks for
your clients. Your client uses these for its banking transactions. One House Bank can have multiple bank accounts assigned
to it.
During the implementation one can try to rationalize both, the Banks and the Accounts.
A House Bank has
a Unique Bank Key. Bank Keys differ by each country's norms. The US Bank Key is called ABA (American Banking Association)
number. Normally each House Bank can have its own Company Code. In some cases, where the Banks use a different ABA key for
paper Transactions and a different one for Electronic Transactions, you Create Two House Banks instead of one for One
Physical Bank. Also, Two Bank Accounts will be created for a Single GL Account.
T-Code: FI12
Menu Path:
Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting > Bank-Related Accounting > Bank Accounts > Define House Banks
Config
Steps:
A House Bank is tied to a Company Code and each Bank Account is tied to a House Bank. So first we Select the
Company Code for which the House Bank is to be created.
The Create Bank icon is clicked and it brings up a pop up for
House Bank Identifier and House Bank Country. House Bank ID is a number decided by you. You can specify a number based on
your numbering conventions.
The Next screen requires entry of the Bank Key - the ABA number is the House Bank country
selected was US. On this screen you also enter the House Bank Address data as well Control Data - comprising of SWIFT COde,
Bank Group and Bank Number.
Once the House Bank data has been entered and filled up, you click on Bank Accounts and
you are taken to the screen to configure the Bank Accounts. On the Next screen click on the "Create Acct" icon.
A pop
up comes up where you enter the House Bank Identifier in your system as well as the Bank Account identifier in your system
along with a text description. Once this is done, we get to the main screen where we enter the following
data:
Bank Account: The Bank Account given BY the Bank.
Altern. Acct No.: This field is used when two
accounts at the same bank use the same account number. This situation may arise when the bank manages the accounts in two
different currencies. This field has a different number than the Bank Account field.
Currency: This is the
currency in which the account is managed.
Control Key: For US Banks, this is used to identify whether the account
is a Checking or Savings account. The key is 01 for Checking and 02 for Savings. The Default value is checking account if
nothing is specified.
GL Account: Each Bank Account is assigned to a GL Account Number. The Bank Account updates
the GL Account entered here.
Discount Account: If the company uses the Bill of Exchange facility then we enter the
Cash Discount Account for Credit Memo Postings that this Bank Account should update.
Bank Account
Structure
It is important to have the right structure for Bank Accounts, GL Accounts and the Clearing
Accounts.
It is important to know how much of:
Confirmed Cash,
Floating Cash out, and
Floating Cash
in
is available for the company on a particular day.
There should be Only One Confirmed Cash GL Account with many
Bank Clearing Accounts. So, the Checks Outgoing Clearing, Wire Outgoing, ACH Out, and Deposits clearing need to be set up
for each Bank Account. It is also important to leave room for additional clearing accounts that may be needed in future.
For this, we may have a range of 10 GL Accounts for each Bank Account. The numbering, for example, can have the GL Account
ending with 0 for each Confirmed Cash Balance (eg: 110000); each deposit clearing account will end up with a 1 (110001); each
outgoing check clearing account will end with a 2. each outgoing ACH account will end with a 3 and each outgoing wire
account may end up with a 4.
Check Lots and Void Reason Codes
The final step in configuring of the AP Bank
Account is to assign it to a check lot.
Check Lots
If the company has a MICR printer then a blank
check lot can be used for Payables. The check lot determines the check number that is used on payments.
The first
step is to bring up the "Check Lots" screen.
T-code: FCHI
Menu Path: Financial Accounting >
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business transactions > Automatic Outgoing Payments > Payment media > Check
Management > Define Number Ranges for Checks
On the main screen you need to fill up Company Code, House Bank number,
and the Account ID for which the checks are being created (?)
After saving the information click on "Change Status"
icon. This takes you to "Maintain Check Lots" screen. Most of the information will come filled up. You can enter the From
and To check Numbers.
To create a new check lot and assign it to the account, you can click on the "Create" icon. In
the pop up enter the Lot number identifier and he range of the check numbers and also the next lot number if
needed.
Void Reason Codes
In SAP, it is not possible to void a check without a valid reason code. We
can have any number of Void Reason codes. There should be at least one Void reason Code configured in the
system.
T-code: FCHV
Menu Path: Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business
Transactions > Automatic Outgoing Payments > Payment media > Check Management > Define Void Reason Codes.
Three Void
reason Codes come pre-configured - 1, 2, and 3. They deal with the problems encountered with the printers. There are
indicators to be assigned which define whether the Reason Code is due to Manual or Print program. Any codes created by the
users are only assigned Manual.
Payment Program Configuration
This step determines how to process
the payment transactions in the system.
The Payment Program is a series of steps within one Program.
The
configuration occurs in table T042 and other variations of table T042 that end in a letter.
T-Code:
FBZP
Menu Path: Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Outgoing
Payments > Automatic Outgoing Payments > Payment Method/Bank Selection > Configure Payment Program

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!

How to change remember bank password to no!

The Keychain Access utility lets you remove many web remembered passwords and its in your Applications -> Utilities folder.

What is bank key in house bank configuration

hi
what is bank key in house bank configuration. is bank key same as our bank routing number.
thanks,
monica

Hi,
You specify the bank key under which bank data from the respective country is stored.
Basically, your banks are managed by using their bank numbers. The bank number and the bank key are almost same for the house bank.
Like you said, you may define a 9 digit number that serves as a routing number too.
Hope it clears your doubt.
Assign points if helpful.
