Lock Box config

Hi All,
I am trying to config the lock box with 'Define lockbox for house banks' but i could not proceed to config the lockbox, system saying message : '(House Bank) does not exits in T012', does it mean that we have to setup house bank first before proceeding to defining lockbox?
Anyone could guide me what are necessary steps to setup the Lockbox
Thank you in advance
Thanks
raj

thanks in advance..

hi
Lockboxes are a procedure used mainly in the USA to enable checks to be deposited more quickly. The checks the bank sends to you are entered as credits by the bank, and the information entered is sent to the payee using File Transfer. The lockbox files must be formatted per the BAI standard format.
Under certain circumstances, the bank transmits a data carrier to the payee several times a day; the carrier bears the important check information.
From this data carrier, postings are then generated for accounts receivable and G/L accounting.
Lockbox service has the following advantages for the payee:
Better liquidity, thanks to faster collection, depositing, and crediting of checks
Reduced processing workload
Procedure
To import lockbox data, proceed as follows:
Choose Incomings ® Lockbox ® Import.
You reach the initial screen.
Specify the path and file name of the lockbox file.
Specify the import options.
Choose Program ® Execute.
===========================================================
From the SAP Easy Access Screen select Accounting ® Treasury ® Cash Management ® Incomings ® Lockbox ® Postprocess or Accounting ® Banking ® Incomings ® Lockbox ® Postprocess.
2. Enter the required data and choose Execute.
The selected lockbox data is displayed in a hierarchy. The icons in front of each line show the status of the check. The following are possible status entries:
¡ Posted
¡ Posted on account
¡ Partially applied
¡ Not posted
Proceed as follows to display the check status:
a. Choose View ® Other Display
The screen for displaying lists appears.
b. Click on the ALV icon Layout settings and choose Change layout.
c. Select the Check Status field in the dialog window under Column List.
d. If you want to use the field in the column list, click on the left arrow and choose Copy.
The system displays the check status.
3. Edit Payment Advice
¡ In order to edit the payment advice, double-click on the Payment Advice field in the list display. Change the data you want to correct, save and choose Back.
¡ If you want to change the account or account type, show the Account and Account Type fields as described for the Check Status field. Both fields are shown in the list display and you can change them directly. Choose Enter to save the changed data.
If you want to ensure that your changes have been saved, double-click on the Payment Advice field and choose Payment Advice ® Header.
4. Choose Checks ® Post to resume the automatic posting of changed checks.
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Lock Box - item not getting cleared

Hi,
I m testing the lockbox process with the lock box file available online.
I could be able to import the file and document got created. But i have some doubts, please try to reply for the same.
1) payment advice got generated but the customer open item is still not cleared? do we need to process that further? the check status is applied and G/L document got posted.
2) I think we can also process lock box posting through Idoc, what is the process flow? would you pease eloberate on this IDOC process for lockbox.
3) I am not able to understand the posting done (without clearing the customer open item). Both debit and credit posted to a bank account. would you please eloberate the posting done while lockbox processing?
Please let me know if more information required.
Regards,

Hi,
If you are able to load the lockbox file then customer items shall be cleared. Please check the posting rule config and clearing accounts maintained for lockbox.

Lock box facility

hi experts,i want to know about:what is lock box facility?can any body tell me the configation steps for that

hi
Using of lock box
Lockbox is a process provided by a bank where the customer remits his payment to a PO Box at your bank, the bank deposits the check in your account and enters the remittance data from the customer. Then the bank sends the data to you electronically for you to import and apply in SAP-AR.
The structure that the bank uses is usually one of two formats. BAI will provide you the customer information and the check amount but no invoice remittance data. Usually cheaper and works well for a business where customers are paying only one invoice at a time.
BAI-2 offers remittance data but the bank charges more for the service because they have to enter more info.
Look at structures FLB** to see the transfer data.
When the bank sends the customer payment data you use Treasury function FLB2 to import and then process the payments. This process attempts to determine where to apply the payment and will post directly against an invoice, an account to a customer or if it can't even determine the customer it posts into a clearing account (configured) to be resolved.

Lock box- payment differences

Dear gurus
We have a request to change the lockbox setup to handle auto write off any short/overpayments per customer invoice of +/- 50$.
So when there is a difference of +/-50$ on the payment file (in the lock box process- statement from bank) SAP should write off the difference to a GL acct automatically.
Please advise where in config, I can make settings and give the acct number, so that differences will written off automatically and how can I test my settings?
Many thanks in advance
MSJ

Hi Vinod
Thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions.
But I see that in OBXL there is already a GL acct 499999specified with no reason code.
And this Gl acct is hit if there is any unapplied/on acct payments from lock box.
What we need is , if there is any difference of =/- 50$ it should go to 488888 GLacct.
I tried putting 488888 in OBXL with a reason code(created a new reason code) and tried processing a lockbox file, but after running, I see that the payment difference of +/- 50$ is not being hit to 4888888 acct.
Please advise as what other changes we need in config.
many thanks

Lock Box - FLB2

Hi All
I tried to import data in TC FLB2, but i am getting the error that 'Customer Doesnt Exist' Error F5 102
my Qs is, after setting up all config for Lock box, is there any other place where i need to maintain some MICR number or anything else for the customer on the master data etc
thank you
Rukshana

The customer exists in a different company code than the lockbox and requires cross-company posting in post-processing.
If the customer exists in both companies, the check should at least be put u201COn Accountu201D in the main company (the main company is the one that gets the cash, the one the lockbox is pointed to via transaction OBAX). Then, when you u201Cpostu201D the check from FLB1, you will get the open items for the main company. Here you would use the Edit-> Select More function, and specify your other company. Then select the open items and post.
Alternatively a carefully designed user exit can be designed to look across company codes.
You may consider a modest user-exit for cross company code cash application. Such a user exit would check for open items across all company codes, despite the company code into which the payment was received (by lockbox definition in IMG).

problem with the user exit

Real Estate Lock Box Key

I have owned three Palms and now on my 4th.
The very first one,second one and third was able to be integrated with the software/programming to be installed into my phone for the ability to open realtor lock boxes. ALL Palms have infrared so once installed at my local board of realtors I am good to go and I simply access the program on my Palm point the phone at the lock box and it opens... among other functions but this is the one most used.
Now I have just purchased a new Palm Pre and ONCE AGAIN I am told by GE Security that the NEW Palm will not function as a lockbox because of it's operating system. IS THIS TRUE ARE ARE THEY TELLING ME THE SAME THING THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF EITHER SOMETHING BETWEEN THE TWO COMPANIES IS LACKING IN GETTING THE PRODUCT READY OR IS IT TRUE THIS NEW PRE WILL NEVER BE COMPATIBLE FOR LOCK BOX KEY USAGE?
Need help... don't think this is a question for tech support in India!

Currently, realtors can use Blackberries to access supra lockboxes by using bluetooth technology and a fob which converts the bluetooth signal to an infrared signal. Will we soon have this capability with Palm Pre? I want to upgrade from my Palm Centro to the Palm Pre Plus, but may have to go with a Blackberry instead. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
This post desribes the situation well: https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=364&view=previous
Consider this another request to enable the Pre for compatibility with the GE Supra eKey. For years Realtors have utilized the Treos as their Smartphone of choice due to its ability to unlock the lockboxes that hold the keys to the homes we show. Currently no such application is available for the Pre because the SDK stifles access to the Bluetooth interface that is needed to communicate with the lockboxes. Here is what the eKey people say regarding the issue:
"Unfortunately at this time support for the Palm Pre is not possible. The Palm Pre is the first device to use Palm's new "WebOS", and the Software Development Kit (or SDK) available at this time does not include adequate access to the Bluetooth interface on the phone. Because of this, and because the Palm Pre does not have an infrared port on it, we will not be able to certify it as an eKEY device. Hopefully in a future version of the SDK, the required Bluetooth Access will be made available to our programmers so that we can support this device."
Just about every Realtor I know uses a Palm phone, but now people who want to update and upgrade their phones are jumping ship to Blackberry due to this single issue. I'm sure that I don't have to remind you that Brand Loyalty is incredibly hard to earn, and everyday that the Pre does not have this function you will lose valuable customers and an entire niche of users.
I know that I am not the first to make this plea, but of all the research I have done, I have yet to find a response or even an acknowledgment from Palm. Please advise.

Lock Box Reason Code.

Hi Experts,
I am getting one issue in lock box, If Suppose customer has invoice of $ 1000, he is eligible for discount of $ 50 so he should pay net amount $ 950. But customer is paying full amount without knowing that he is eligible for discount i.e $ 1000. so system is crediting back $ 50 to the customer(returning back the $ 50 to customer).
In this case i want system should accept amount $1000 and system should not credit $ 50 to customer(system should not pay back to customer $ 50), instead of this system should transfer the balance to GL account by using the reason code.
Note : we are using BAI2 format for lockbox.
Please be advised what should i do in this case if i want to accept the full amount from the customer without doing the credit to him and i want to transfer the amount to GL account by using reason code in BAI2 format.
Regards,
Sam.
Edited by: samiuk on Nov 11, 2011 4:23 PM

Yes you can.
Customer and User tolerance limits, payment advice tolerance limits and reason codes
When an incoming cash payment does not exactly pay the referenced open item(s), then the system will not be able to perform clearing without creating residual items back on the account - except when you establish tolerance limits to allow posting with a write-off of acceptable payment difference amounts.
Reason code settings are used for description and reporting purposes, generation of specific customer correspondence letters (automatic system generation whenever this reason code is assigned to a document), and difference item write-off/dispute status assignment.

Lock box jobs getting cancelled

Hello All,
I am new to lockbox processing. I am into lock box support project now. Recently lot of lock box jobs are getting cancelled. While I am going through job log it says that " Payment advice 01706525923 does not exist for account 10001009 0110 ". Similar error showing for few other jobs. Can you please anybody through some light on this regarding how to investigate this error?
Thank you,
Santosh

When ever you get such kind of message then it says that it has found the customer and not found the document to post.
Now when you got to T.code FLB1. you can see that in "on account" status.
Now through lockbox post processing you have to post/clear the document (thru F.04) to make the document to "Applied" status.
Assign points if useful.

I backed up my phone and now all of my lock box info and music is gone

I backed up my phone and now all of my lock box info and music is gone

To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
Because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
Also, to prevent merging your calendars and contacts if you are syncing these to the same iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.
