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.

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 - 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.

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

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!!!!!

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

Import Electronic Bank Statement Automaticaly?

Hello,
Currently we are using transaction FF_5 for importing bank statements manually from some folder on our server into SAP ERP system. Now we are working on a cooperation with some company that will make sure that we will get bank statements from banks into a folder on one of our servers automatically.
The question that I would like to ask you is if there is a way in SAP to automate the import of such statements with some built in solution or we will have to make a custom program or program modification?
I would also like to point out that the bank statements in this folder would have different names and when they would get imported in SAP they would have to be moved to some other folder, so we would know which one wes already imported and which one not.
I will appreciate any help that you can give me.
Thanks and best regards,
David

Hello,
The best approach is to prepare the files with time stamp, i.e., date and time.
There is no standard functionality. You need to take help from ABAPer and need to write a program.
Schedule this progam at regular intervals.
Make sure you need to keep lot of checks.
1. No duplicate file is being generated.
2. No manual intervention into the files.
3. Processed files are separated to another files.
4. Error recrods are copied to a separate file etc.
You can think on these lines and develop the program.

Ravi

Bank Statement Interface

I'm working at a site setting up Cash Management for the first time in the UK - they want to import bank statements using Barclays Business Manager software - the format that seems most useful is BAI - does anyone have the specification of the fields in a BAI format file and / or written this interface in the past ?

Hi Tan,
Based on the external transaction type, you will link to the posting rules. Yes there are so many subfields, available if you see 61 fields, it tells you about the payment you have received/made, it gives the line item details of a particular transaction.
My sincere request is dont look at the bank statement and do the configuration. Do the configuration first and then SAP provides one program RFEBKATX. Using this program you can create a bank statement file and customer line items. Once after bank statement file is created you can import it using FF_5 and if your configuration is not properly made, it will let you know where you are missing. But this program will generate bank statement file in multi cash. How ever if your configuration is correct and if you are able to import bank statement, then there will not be any difficulty in importing MT 940.
Hope you understood.

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.
