Interesting Scenario - Bank Reconciliation

Hi Experts !
My client has a scenario where payment is received 100% advance from the customers who deposite the same directly into bank account accross different geographical locations.
Clients a/c dept. checks for receipt of payment through netbanking and makes an incoming payment 'On Account' against that customer and enters transaction id of the payment as seen in online bank statement.
The invoice is generated after payment recipt and the goods are despatched to the customer.
The customers's requirement is ;-
1) To reconcile incoming payments with external bank statement by matching the transaction id as entered at the time of incoming payment and as present in the bank statement.
It sometimes happens that either delibrately or by mistake the user enters wrong transaction id at incoming payment against the customer and the goods are dispatched.However that transcation id does not match when it is reconciled with bank statement.
How do I reconincile external bank statement with incoming payments ? The customer is using 2007B,PL06.
Your inputs are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Asap

Hi Suda,
Thanks for the reply !
More than the human error the question is to enable the system to prevent delibrate incorrect entries which has happened in the past.
Changing the transcation id field in the JE will work in case of entries with wrong id.
Could you please enlighten me on the possibility of matching external bank statement with the incoming payments?

Asap

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.

Automatic clearing in Electronic Bank Reconciliation

Hi All,
I have a scenario here where my client is using an Electronic Bank Statement to do bank reconciliation. The format used is MultiCash. Our setting for Bank GL account are using one Uncleared account - all payment or transfer will be posted here, and one cleared account - after bank reconciliation has been done, it will clear the line item in Uncleared account and post it in Cleared Account.
And one of the conifg we do for bank reconciliation is to automatically clear the Payment Document in Uncleared Account and post it to Cleared Account by searching and matching the Document number. So in the bank statement files given by the bank (DB), it will provide the document number in "Note to payees"
But we have a problem here with few market in Korea and Taiwan. They have limits for every transaction. For example, for Taiwan, each transaction is limit to TWD 20,000,000 only. Thus, if I got a payment paid out to vendor amounted 61,000,000 TWD, when the payment order is sent to the DB bank, the bank will automatically split it into 4 different payments transactions. Three transaction with amount TWD 20,000,000 and one transaction with amount 1,000,000.
So when the bank provide us with the bank statement file, the system will fail to do the clearing as its impossible to clear 20,000,000 TWD with the payment document TWD 61,000,000 in SAP. Currently they are using FEBAN to manually post partially and clear it off.
So my question will be, is it possible for SAP to detect all this 4 documents (20,000,000, 20,000,000, 20,000,000, 1,000,000) and clear it off with my payment document in the Uncleared Account amounted 61,000,000? The bank provided same SAP document number in every transaction for the Notes to payee field.
Please advice. Thanks.

Please check the algorithm you have mentioned against the posting rule for the transaction that is not getting cleared. Please use the criteria (like document number or cheque number or bank key etc.) in the reference field in the posting transaction to help the system to find out the matching item from the uncleared items for enabling to clear it off automatically.

Bank Reconciliation Report SAP B1 2005 or 2007 versions

Any progress made here ?
Needs to have cashbook balance, list of unreconciled transactions and a bank statement balance. Can provide an example if needed.
Interesting the Banking section has been revamped in 2007 version without such a standard report.
Yes, there are work arounds, but something so standard should not need a work around.
Would be good to get a resloution here.
Thanks in advance for any help here.

Bank reconciliation incoming payment

Hi All,
I am in the blue print designing phase of one of my client. Below is the client requirement for incoming bank reconciliation.
We have suggested them, the moment they received cheque of check from client, the entry should be posted in incoming payment account like this:
Debit Incoming Clearing Account
Credit Customer Account
When actually payment will appear in the main account entry should be posted like this:
Debit Main Bank Account
Credit Incoming clearing Account
Now the question from client is when any cheque or check would be deposited in my bank account there would one entry in our bank statement stating cheque or check deposited but subject to clearing and main account balance should be increased but actually cheque or check has not been enchased yet.
How to handle the scenario for bank reconciliation for incoming payment.

Hi Ashutosh,
Please try to use Payment Order Functionality. This option is available in the Payment Methods in Country in FBZP.

Kiron Kumar T.

Re: Bank Reconciliation

Hello
I wanted to ask that when we usually post an incoming payment or an outgoing payment in SAP the respective subledger accounts and the bank clearing accounts are debited or credited as per the situation.
Now when we configure for Bank reconciliation and we set the posting rule why then again do we need to do two steps of the posting area 1 and the posting area 2. Where we have bank account entries in the posting area 1 and then in Posting area 2 we have the subledger clearing. I also wanted to understand how then the posting type works here.
In some cases such as Bank charges we use post to gl which is posting type 1. For other how is it used.
Please provide the conceptual understanding for the same.
Rgds

Hi,
Let me try to clarify.
Scenario 1:
Vendor payment (done in APP):
Accounting entry at the time of APP:
Debit: Vendor Account
Credit: Outgoing Clearing Account
Accounting entry at the time of EBS posting:
Debit: Outgoing Clearing Account
Credit: Main Bank Account (House Bank)
In this scenario, we only have posting rule 1 for Main GL posting. There is no need to posting rule 2 for sub-ledger posting. This is because only one entry is passed at the time of EBS posting and the sub-ledger postng is done at the time of APP.
Scenario 2:
Customer Receipt (EBS posting):
Accounting entry at the time of EBS posting:
Sub-ledger posting
Debit: Incoming Clearing Account
Credit: Customer Account
Main GL posting
Debit: Main Bank Account (House Bank)
Credit: Incoming Clearing Account
In this scenario, we have posting rule 1 for Main GL posting and, also posting rule 2 for sub-ledger posting. This is both the entries are being passed at the time of EBS posting.
Scenario 3:
Bank Charges (EBS posting):
Main GL posting
Debit: Bank Charges Account
Credit: Main Bank Account (House Bank)
In this scenario, we only have posting rule 1 for Main GL posting.
Scenario 4:
Vendor payment is not done in APP instead, posted in EBS:
This situation will be similar to Scenario 2 with opposite entries in Sub-ledger and Main GL entries. Here also we have posting rule 1 for Main GL posting and, also posting rule 2 for sub-ledger posting. This is both the entries are being passed at the time of EBS posting.
I hope the above examples are covering all the areas that you need clarification.

Hi,
Electronic Bank Statement
Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement
You should carry out Customizing for the electronic bank statement as follows: In Customizing for Bank Accounting, choose Business Transactions  Payment Transactions  Electronic Bank Statement  Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement.
Create Account Symbols:
In this step, you create account symbols. You will need these symbols at a later stage to define the posting specifications. Before the posting rules are used, the individual account symbols are replaced by the account to which items are to be posted.
Account Text
AUSG-UEBERW-AUS Foreign out. transf.
AUSG-UEBERW-INL Domestic out. transf

SCHECKVERRECHNG Cheque clearing acct
SONSTIGE Other bank trans.
TREASURYAUSGANG Treasury outg. trans
TREASURYEINGANG Treasury inc. trans.
ZINSAUFWAND Interest paid
ZINSERTRAG Interest received
Assign Accounts to Account Symbol:
In this step, you define how accounts are determined for a particular account symbol. To avoid you having to define a separate account symbol for each individual house bank account (each with a different G/L account and separate bank clearing accounts), the G/L Acct field can contain a masked output.
Act Symbol Acct Mod. Currency G/L Acct
AUSG-UEBERW-AUS + + +++++++++3

SCHECKEINGANG + + +++++++++8
SCHECKVERRECHNUNG + + ++++++++17
SONSTIGE + + ++++++++19
SPESEN + + 479000
Create Keys for Posting Rules:
In this step, you create the descriptions for the required posting rules. Each posting rule represents the business transaction on the bank statement in the SAP system, such as a cheque received, a credit memo, or debit memo.
Posting Rule Text
001+ Cash inflow via interim account
002 + Cheque credit memo through bank
003- Cashed Cheque
004- Domestic transfer
005- Foreign transfer
006- Other disbursements
007+ Other receipts
008- Cash payment
009+ Cash receipt
010+ Collection/direct debit
011- Returns collection/direct debit
012- Bank fee
013+ Interest received
014- Interest paid
015+ Payment by credit card
016- Vendor direct debit
017+ Treasury receipts
018- Treasury disbursements
Define Posting Rules/Posting Specifications:
In this step, you create posting specifications for each posting rule. The posting specifications enable you to define how a particular business transaction (such as a credit memo) is to be posted.
Posting specifications comprise one or two posting records Debit  Credit. The first posting record is called posting area 1 and usually involves a G/L account posting (BANK ACCOUNT  CASH RECEIPT, for example). The second posting record, which is optional, is called posting area 2 (CASH RECEIPT  CUSTOMER, for example).
Depending on whether a posting transaction affects bank accounting only, or affects both bank accounting and subledger accounting, you define posting rules either for the first posting area only, or for both the first and second posting areas.

Treasury disbursements 018- 1 TREASURY-AUSGANG 50 BANK SA 4
Returns collections/direct debits are posted to the account for other interim postings, since they need to be postprocessed.
Create Transaction Type:
In this step, you create the names and descriptions for the various transaction types required. House banks that use identical lists of business transaction codes (external transactions) can later be assigned to the same transaction type.
Trans. Type Name
MC MultiCash
Assign External Transaction Types to Posting Rules:
In this step, you assign (external) business transaction codes to a posting rule (internal), which enables you to use the same posting specifications for different business transaction codes.

To enable the bank statement to find the item to be cleared in the vendor direct debit transaction, the bank details must be maintained in the vendor master record. The bank statement finds the vendor using the bank details and the item using the value (if unique).
For algorithm 012, the number interval of the document numbers must be entered in the import report. For algorithm 026, the number interval of the reference document numbers must be entered (SD number assignment = XBLNR in the FI document). For further information on searching for the reference document number, refer to SAP Note 0107592.
The UNALLOCATED transaction results in the bank statement being imported, even if the external transaction code has not been created in Customizing. The transaction is posted to the interim account +++++5 (bank subaccount, depending on bank). Take a look at this interim account after the bank statement has been imported and post the items to the correct accounts where necessary. To ensure that the transaction is contained in the system the next time the statement is imported, define the new external transaction code in Customizing and assign an appropriate posting rule.
Assign Bank Accounts to Transaction Types:
In this step, you assign each of your bank accounts to a transaction type.
Bank key Bank Account Transaction
400500 XXXXXXXX MC
5.5.3 Manual Bank Statement
Create and Assign Business Transactions
In this step, you define an indicator and assign a posting rule for each business transaction.

Define Posting Keys and Posting Rules for Manual Bank Statement
The posting keys and rules have already been set up for the electronic bank statement. The posting keys and rules for the manual bank statement are the same as those used for the electronic bank statement.
5.5.4 Cheque Management
Create and Assign Business Transactions
In this step, you define transaction codes for cheque deposits and assign them to a posting rule. You have to specify these transaction codes in the Tran (Transaction) field on the initial screen for cheque deposits.
Tran +- Post. Rule Acct Mod Text
CD01 + CD01 + Direct cheque deposit
CD02 + CD02 + Cheque deposit via interim account
Define Posting Rules and Posting Keys for Cheque Deposit
Two posting rules have been created: Direct cheque deposit and Cheque deposit via interim account. These rules represent two ways of posting cheques in the system. If you only want to post the bank accounting item in the first step and then clear the open customer items, use the Cheque deposit via interim account transaction. This is of particular importance when you have a lot of cheques and you have to ensure that all the cheques in Bank Accounting are posted by 10:30 a.m., for example. Otherwise, you use the Direct cheque deposit transaction in which the customers are cleared immediately provided that clearing information is available.
Procedure
Create Account Symbols:
In this step, you create account symbols. You will need these symbols at a later stage to define the posting specifications. Before the posting rules are used, the individual account symbols are replaced by the account to which items are to be posted.
Symbol Description
SCHECKEINGANG Incoming cheques
SCHECKVERRECHNG Cheque clearing acct
BANK Bank account
Assign Accounts to Account Symbol:
In this step, you define how accounts are determined for a particular account symbol. To avoid you having to define a separate account symbol for each individual house bank account (each with a different G/L account and separate bank clearing accounts), the G/L Acct field can contain a masked output.
Act Symbol Acct Mod. Currency G/L Acct Acct Symb. Desc. (set automatically)

BANK + + ++++++++++ Bank account
Create Keys for Posting Rules:
In this step, you define a posting rule for cheque deposits. The key determines the posting rules for general ledger and subledger accounting. The posting rule represents the typical business transactions involved in cheque deposits.
Posting Rule Text
CD01 Direct cheque deposit
CD02 Cheque deposit via interim account
Define Posting Rules:
In this step, you define the posting rules for cheque deposits and prepare account determination. Depending on whether a posting transaction affects general ledger accounting only, or affects both general ledger and subledger accounting, you define posting rules either for one or two posting areas. You only need one posting area if you post items directly Bank to incoming cheques rather than using clearing accounts, for example.

Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS)

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario which is purely related to bank reconciliation. Customer has a bank account with HDFC and as on 31st March 2008 the bank book balance was Rs.10,000/- in customers books of account.
At the end of March 2008 customer had made couple of transactions. They are
28th March 2008 Outgoing Payment to vendor A Rs.1000/-
29th March 2008 Outgoing Payment to building owner B Rs.500/-
After considering the above two payments customer bank book balance in customer books of account was Rs.10,000/-
HDFC bank balance as per bank book is Rs.11500/- as on 31st March 2008, because the said two cheques were not cleared in bank as on 31st March 2008.
Now, customer moved from legacy accounting packge to SAP B1, can anyone suggest me how do I consider the above transactions in SAP B1 for bank reconciliation purpose.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
N.Narayana Swamy

Hello Narayana,
I think you should consider the Customer Books of Account Balances as of 31st March 2008 because BRS is just prepared to know the reasons for differences in Cash Book & Pass Book.
Example -
As on year end, the customer has bank balance of Rs.1000 but bank had debited his account for service charges for the year on 31st march. In this case, the customer comes to about this charges in April & has to pass respective entries in his books.
So, the basic purpose of BRS is pass or reverse the accounting entries in our books according to Bank statement which is found by preparing BRS
In your case, your customer should pass the entries and consider the effective balance for SAP B1
Regards,
Abhishek

Manual Bank Reconciliation Statement for multiple dates

How can we enter ONE manual BRS for multiple posting dates?
Below is the scenario for which we need multiple posting dates in one bank statement.
We receive and enter in SAP the Bank reconciliation statement at the end of every month. The system considers Posting date as end of the month ( the entry date or a single date what we enter). The transactions however belongs to many dates of the month. So while posting the bank statement system considers only one posting date and picks up the exchange rates of one date ( that is the posting date). It results in undesired exchange rate differences.
To elaborate more please check the following example:
1. Incoming Payment on 01-12-09 in USD (USD = Foreign Currency, AED = Local Currency ) with Exchage rate 3.8.
2. Incoming Payment on 06-12-09 in USD with Exchange rate 3.9
3. Incoming Payment on 09-1209 in USD with Exchange Rate 3.7
If all of the above transactions are posted at one posting date the system picks up only one exchange rate at the posting date. However the system should pick up the respective exchange rates on the transaction date.
I hope I am able to communicate properly.
Waiting for your expert opinion forks.

How can we enter ONE manual BRS for multiple posting dates?
Below is the scenario for which we need multiple posting dates in one bank statement.
We receive and enter in SAP the Bank reconciliation statement at the end of every month. The system considers Posting date as end of the month ( the entry date or a single date what we enter). The transactions however belongs to many dates of the month. So while posting the bank statement system considers only one posting date and picks up the exchange rates of one date ( that is the posting date). It results in undesired exchange rate differences.
To elaborate more please check the following example:
1. Incoming Payment on 01-12-09 in USD (USD = Foreign Currency, AED = Local Currency ) with Exchage rate 3.8.
2. Incoming Payment on 06-12-09 in USD with Exchange rate 3.9
3. Incoming Payment on 09-1209 in USD with Exchange Rate 3.7

Interesting scenario- user facing error while deleting a sales order

Hello All,
I have one interesting scenario and want feedback from your side as soon as possible
Scenario-
One of my clients is facing a problem while deleting a sales order.
the sales order he is trying to delete is the old order created in 2007.
when i see the document flow the user has created the export order, then delivered it, invoiced and sent it to accounting, accounting document is also cleared. then he cancelled the invoice, reverse PGI and deleted the delivery. the status of the sales order system is showing is being processed. but please note in this case after reversing PGI and deleting a delivery the delivery document disappears from the document flow.
document flow looks like this
Order - 200004715                     Being processed
invoice- 700005310                    completed
accounting 700005311                 cleared
Cancel Invoice 700005315            completed
Accounting 700005316                 cleared
Now, in 2008 user is trying to delete the sales order but he is unable to do the same. system is giving him message "unable to delete sales order because of subsequent document 70005310 (which is invoice number)"
Can somebody please throw some light on this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As fas as I know, this is standard system behaviour. The reason - you have done PGI (which has created a material document as well as accounting doc) and invoiced & reversed (which again has created accounting documents & rversal documents). All these documents are referencing the sales order.
If you delete sales order, sales order number gets deleted from VBAK /VBAP tables.
Hence, in relational data base scenario (meanin SAP in this context), deletion of sales order after creation of subsequent documents is not feasible.
Hope it clarifies the issue.

Document Number Not Generate In FEBA ( Bank Reconciliation)

Dear All,
We have configured all the required details for Manual Bank Statement for Bank Reconciliation .
Steps :
1 ) Take converted file from Bank
2 ) Upload that file in Text format into System then system automatically update FF67.
3) Go into FEBA , then we got cleared items but we are not able to get Accounting Document Number .
How we can get Accounting Document Number in FEBA ??
Regards,
Kaushal Shah

Hi,
Sorry, just today I checked your message.
Instead of processing BDC, you have to post through FEBA.
ie. Download the statement with the option Do not post or post online.
Then process the error lines or all documents through FEBA. Then you can able to see the document number.
If the posting is done at the background through batch jobs, then there will not be any document number visible through FEBA.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Deriving the profit center / segment during Bank Reconciliation

Hi SDN,
One of our requirements is to generate a Financial Statement by Segments.
For this reason, we also need to derive / tag our Bank Reconciliation documents (Manual and Electronic) to the corresponding profit centers or segments. The problem though is that during FF67 or FF_5, there's no way we can enter these data.
At the same time, we can't set a default profit center via FAGL3KEH since these bank accounts may be used for multiple profit centers and not defaulted to one only.
My question now is, can we use the document splitting functionality so that we can "inherit" the profit center / segment from the payment document during bank recon?
To give you an idea here's a sample flow of what we wanted.
Customer Invoice (GL view)      - OK in the system
Dr Accounts Receivable (profit center 1) *inherited
Cr Revenue Account (profit center 1)
Incoming Payment (GL view)     - OK in the system
Dr Incoming Clearing (profit center 1)
Cr Accounts Receivable (profit center 1)
Bank Reconciliation
Dr Main Bank             (profit center 1)
Cr Incoming Clearing (profit center 1)
Currently, system does not inherit the bank reconciliation document to the right profit center. Is there any way we can do this in the system?
Thanks

Dear,
During bank Reco system inherit the Profit Center from the document which it is clearing. There is no need to maintain Default the same in FAGL3KEH.
Please activate splitting at Profit Center level.
Hope this helps!!

Bank Reconciliation report missing transtype=57

Hi
we are using SAP B1 version 8.81(8.81.313) PL 05
We have a cyrstal report for Bank Reconciliation which is missing all transactions with transtype=57 (Checks for Payment).
1. Is this a standard report for SAP B1 or has this been developed for us? I have not been here long and while some reports were developed by the reseller, I am not sure which ones they were.
2. The Show SQL Query code includes the following which I have not been able to find anywhere in the report.I have looked in all the reports both main and sub-reports under report->selection formula->record selection as well as in all formula fields and section experts.
AND ("JDT1"."TransType"=N'30'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'-4'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'46'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'24'
      OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'25')
I understand that this is the piece of code I need to add " OR "JDT1"."TransType"=N'57' "
3.Can anyone help where else I might find the above code?
4. Does anyone know what TransType=-4 in table JDT1 represents?
Thanks Chris
