Lockbox configuration

Hi All,
I am new to Lockbox configuration.have completed the lockbox configuration. When i uploaded the file using FLB2 i am seeing the below points:
1. Invoice not getting cleared even though everything has matched.It shows as "On Account". Need to know the reason.
2. Residual item is not getting created. Wanted to know if BAI2 format does not have external reason code how can we see that a residual item is created.
I have the below scenarios for which a residual item needs to get created. Please let me know if it is possible ? If yes what are the configuration steps involved.
3. Is it possible to change the program to incorporate the below logic ?
Scenario 1     Invoice payment at net amount with no discrepancy, Invoice 1027680283 ( Figure 6.0 )                                   
Scenario 2     Invoice payment at net amount with discrepancy, Invoice 1027752540 ( Figure 3.0 and 3.1 )                                   
Scenario 3     Payment with no matching open item in the payer's account, Ref# 0000000061, $237.04 ( Figure 2.0 and 2.1 )                                   
Scenario 4     Cash in Advance or Payment received from a customer with no existing no open items in the payer's account ( Figure 7.0 to 7.5 )                                   
Scenario 5     Invoice Payment at Gross amount within discount terms ( Figure 8.0 to 8.4 )                                   
Scenario 6     Payment record in the Lockbox cheque database from CITI with no payer number.  No final process on this scenario as of this time.  Recommendation is to create a new LE account that will serve as a suspense account to accommodate the payment with no payer information.  The A/R BE should be aligned on this matter                                   
Scenario 7     Invoice Payment at gross amount with no discrepancy ( Figure 9.0 to 9.1 )                                   
Scenario 8      Invoice Payment at gross amount with discrepancy, overpayment within tolerance limit ( Figure 10.0 to 10.2 )                                   
Scenario 9     Invoice Payment at gross amount with discrepancy, overpayment outside tolerance limit ( Figure 10.3)                                   
Scenario 10     Invoice  Payment at net amount with discrepancy, underpayment within tolerance limit ( Figure 11.2 )                                   
Scenario 11     Invoice Payment at net amount with discrepancy, underpayment outside tolerance limit ( Figure 11.3 )                                   
Scenario 12     Deduction on the cheque with no matching open item in the payer's account (opposite of Scenario 3) and Invoice deduction with no matching OP in the payer's account, within and outside tolerance limit ( Figures 11.4 to 11.7 )                                   
Scenario 13     Invoice payment at net amount with discrepancy on discount, underpayment within tolerance limit ( Figure 12.3 )                                   
Scenario 14     Invoice payment at net amount with discrepancy on discount, underpayment outside tolerance limit ( Figure 12.2 )                                   
Scenario 15     Invoice payment at net amount with discrepancy on discount, overpayment within tolerance limit  ( Figure 12.5 )                                   
Scenario 16     Invoice payment at net amount with discrepancy on discount, overpayment outside tolerance limit ( Figure 12.4 )                                   
Scenario 17     Invoice payment at net amount beyond discount term.( Figure 12.6 )                                   
Scenario 18     Payment details has discrepancy compared to cheque amount. (Figure 12.7 )

  • Configuration for lockbox

    Hi All
    I have been given to configure
    1)lock box set up
    2) lock box processing.
    I did the lock box set up by using OBAX and OB10.
    What are the configuration steps to do lock box processing? (house banks and accounts are already defined).
    Thank you very much
    Deepa

    Hi,
    Lockbox configuration will not involve many steps. I assume you are configuring BAI2 format and it is a text file (encrypted) from Bank. The steps to be followed are:
    1. Define Housebank for Lockbox. (?Menu Path > IMG > Financial Accounting > Bank Accounting > Define Lockboxes for Hose Banks)
    2. Define Control Parameters ie. BAI or BAI2. You can use the standard SAP. But if required you can make changes like GL postings / for partial payments etc.
    3. Define Posting data. Here you define the Origin and destination. House Bank for Lockbox, GL Accounts where the transactions are to be posted and the document types to be used.
    This completes the configuration.
    Using transaction code FLB2 you can execute the Lockbox. Here, you can create a variant and define from where the file will be picked up ?(unix path) and other processing parametrs.
    In case if you are using the EDI, the procedure will be different, as you have to define Bank as a partner and also define the basic idoc type  to be used etc.
    Thanks

  • One lockbox for multiple company code

    Hi Guru's.
    Currently we have one company code to many lockbox configured, process
    is working fine.
    We are in process of merging two companies.
    We have a scenario were we have one Lockbox shared between multiple
    company code, when we process the lockbox file lockbox process will
    clear one company code Invoice and other Invoice for different company
    code are unprocessed.
    We have looked in to user exit EXIT_RFEBLB20_001 and EXIT_RFEBLB20_002,
    was not much of help.
    Regards,
    KJ

    I had this scenario few years back in a company and we used exit RFEBLB20_002. We used logic to find the invoicing company code from the BSID table using the document number from lockbox file, then change the default lockbox company code to invoicing company code. Unfortunately this scenario will work only if you use unique document number ranges for each company codes which is not the case for most companies.

  • Lockbox and Special G/L

    Hello all,
    Is there a way to have AR Lockbox configured to post customer on-accounts to PK 19 and a special g/l that has been designated for customer on- accounts?  In OBAX there is only a posting key designation for credits to the customer, no option for a special g/l indicator.
    Thanks!

    hi....
    special g/l will NOT affect EWT...
    Please check your confg.. or raise a sap message..

  • Lockbox process- end user tasks

    Hi experts!
    Could please someone answer my following question
    once the whole lockbox configuration is done, what will be the tasks that need to be performed by the end user daily? ( after done with the cofniguration settings , and checking out with the bank about the timings they send the lokcbox file daily , we schedule in such a way that the lockbox program will run daily at some particular time, right? so once done with all these , what will be the end user need to do daily? what entries should he has to perform?and then does he has to perform the post processing e.t.c
    <b>so to cutshort my question - what tasks should an end user has to perform in the lockbox process once it goes live.</b>
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    After configured the lockbox in banking,
    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.
    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, User has to use Tcode: FLB2 - Importing the file, FLBP - To post and FLBP_Lockbox -- To reprocess.
    End user documentation needs to be prepared on these tcodes and process.
    **if useful assign the points.

    Help will be really appreciated and rewarded.

    What i meant was instead of view page in the URL u can give controller.do which is rendering that view
    OnClientClick = onClientClick="javascript:window.showModalDialog('controller.do','GT','dialogWidth=604px;dialogHeight=377px;center=yes;help=no;scroll=no;status=no;');"
    but i guess this is required to be called from another page or view.

  • File origin and destination wrong

    I captured files on my Core 2 duo with P Pro 1.5 and Canopus DV Rex like I always do when I am transferring VHS. I moved the external drive to my CS6 machine to use the Media Encoder. I load up multiple files to encode and when I start the process I get a fail for each file. When I check the log it is showing the origin and destination of the file from a previous project. Every file has the same info!!!
    Any thoughts??
    Also the video is not viewable in CS6. The audio is fine but the video is green or just not there. It plays fine in Edius.?? It plays in Media Player and VLC.

    The bank must transmit the file with the Destination, Origin and Lockbox identifiers in the exact format as they have been created in SAP lockbox configuration.  Otherwise, the file will be improperly read by the lockbox and posting will not properly occur.
    Origin = the transmission point of the cash (i.e. lockbox number)
    Destination = the internal target for the cash (i.e. company code)

  • FLB2 picks wrong company code

    I am testing my lockbox configuration When I execute tcode FLB2 to load collections data, it does not pick my company code. Instead it picks a wrong company code and no data is loaded. Can any body help resolve this problem.
    Sohaib

    Based on what you have described, it is difficult to say where is the error. But there are basically three steps in config. hope this you would have got right.
    Ffurther, check in the lockbox file the destination bank is the one you have configured. Further check lockbox number in the file and in the config are correct.

  • Bai file for ebs

    Hi bai file for ebs
    any one can explain me
                       ankita

    Hi
    This is(BAI) the format of the file which bank sends to SAP server for updating the transactions of the customer payment.
    It is used in US only, for which lockbox configuration is required.
    Customer will send payment to Bank and bank will update our bank account and send us the file in BAI format which after uploading in SAP will clear the open items of the customer.
    Thanks
