Lock box residual amount

Hello Sapians,
I have an issue with the Lockbox when the payment difference is .XX USD.
For example I have an invoice of 200 dollars and payterm has 1% discount if you pay in 10 days, now lets say the Customer made a payment of 197.98 USD and when I do FLB2 and upload the flatfile
1. The cash account should be debited with 197.98
2. Customer should be debited with 200 USD (difference of 2 USD goes to Discount account)
3. There is a residue amount (0.02) present on Customer account.
I wanted to wave off the .02 amount on the Customer automatically, so I created the Tolerance Group and assigned to Customer and did the same exercise, but the amount .02 is still there on the Customer account as open item and did not wave off.
Then I created a reason code and assigned to Transaction (Payment differences) in SPRO--> Over/under payments, maintained an account, posting key and rules in the transactions and did the same exercise, but Customer account still have the 0.02 as open item.
How do I clear this residue amount on the Customer automatically?
Thank you,
-Harter.

Hello,
We were able to do this through OBA3 and OBA4.
Thank you,

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.

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 reason codes

Dear gurus
please advise as how we can uses reason codes with lock box file processing.
We want to write off each individual invoice on customer open item if it is paid +/-60$.
Can we use reason codes with lock box automatic processing, so that these +/-60$ writeoff's go to a particulat GL acct.
Many thanks in advance.

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 functionality

Can lockbox functionality in SAP be used for country Australia or the lockbox can only be implemented for the US country.Will each payment method(ex:checks,credit cards,ach) for each of them should have a different locbox.Will creditcards have a lockbox or is it just a separate file to be asked from bank based on the payment method we want.
Thanks.

Hi
If bank provides the lock box facility in your country you can apply for the facility. This is not only for US. Lock box facility is given by bank for the receivables of company and not for the outgoing payments. The payees can drop the check in the lock box provided for your company at bank. This will reduce the time for encashment of check amounts. Credit card means you have to pay the amount to bank which is issued the credit card. So it will not come into lock box concept. I think now you clear about the concept of lock box. Reward me if you satisfied with my answer.

Configuration steps for Tolerance for Lock Box

Can anyone send me a detailed configuration step to Set-up Tolerance for Lock Box Receipts ? will really appreciate and points will be awarded.
Thank you
Priti

Hi,
It seems you are looking for settings for Tolerances (Difference betn Invoice and Receipt amount) for Lockbox. For Lockbox also, the tolerance settings from AR/AP configuration for tolerance for customer master data.
Refer to T Code OBA3, OBA4 and OB57 for setting up tolerance.
If you need more details of those trsanctions, pls. send your email id. I will forward one good document on lockbox settings incl. toleranaces.

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 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.
