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

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).

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.

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

How to improve lock box performance

Hi
I am working on lock box process. Currently they have lock box processing in 4.6c and now upgrading to ECC 6.0. Client is not satisfied with the lock box hit rate and want to improve the hit rate by improving matching rate.
Can any body tell me, what all are the aspects we can take a look and improve it.
Thanks in advance
Deepa

Hi,
Are you using BAI or BAI2 version of lockbox file? If you are using BAI version, then move to BAI2 version and this will improve the hit rate of Lockbox postings.
Secondly, while executing the transaction FLB2, in processing parameters - Invoice numbers select the option of 3 or 4. This will enhance the hit rate as the system will look at document number as well as reference field. This will be helpful if Customer gives the number entered in reference field in payment advice.
Thirdly, you can do a clean up of MICR and Bank Account numbers in Customer Master data. Maintain the correct data, if the data is not updated regularly based on Lockbox data.
Fourthly, if multiple payer accounts are maintained for Customers, maintain worklist for such customers. Worklist can be maintained in transaction code OB55.
Thanks
Murali.

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.

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.
