Lockbox intercompany cash application

We receive payments into one company and clear items across multiple company codes
Now our FI invoices' (Doc type DR) number ranges are company code dependent. Therefore, we can have two invoices in two company codes with the same number. When the customer makes a payment w/ reference to an invoice amount, how can the system identify to which company code the payment should be applied?
Eg:
Customer    Co.Code    Invoice number    amount
1000             BP01            1800001               $500.00
1000             BP02            1800001               $700.00
Customer 1000 (identified via MICR #) pays $500 for invoice 1800001. How do I know if it is for company code BP01 or BP02?
Thanks

Hello Vicky,
Standard SAP Lockbox functionality allows postings within one company
code.  To clear open items across multiple company codes, a user exit
must be written/inserted within program RFEBLB20.
The intercompany posting can only work with a User Exit which fills e.g.
the field alternate company code (AVIP-ABWBU) in the payment advice. The
User Exit '001' in function exit_rfeblb20_001 allows you to change the
complete payment advice. The interface looks as follows:
       call userexit
  call customer-function '001'
          exporting
            i_avik            =  avik
          importing
            e_avik            =  avik
          tables
            t_avip            =  xavip
            t_avir            =  xavir.
Within this user exit it is necessary to determine the alternate
company code and the information needed to post such intercompany
clearings.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

  • Automatic SAP Cash Application- for ACH incoming payments

    Dear experts,
    We have requirement to automatically apply cash for the ACH incoming customer payments. We have been using LOCKBOX for automatic cash application for Check incoming payments. Now we want to implement automatic cash application for incoming ACH payments as well. What are available best options? Can we do this through EBS?
    Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tina

    Hi Tina
    I suggest to use a different GL code for incoming ACH payments and set this up using BAI codes from your banks EBS file. I believe you are not running EBS statement upload or manual load currently. Identify all the bank transactions and their related BAI codes with the help from your bank.
    Thanks

  • Automating AR cash application

    Hi,
    Currently all of our AR is handled manually and we are planning to automate AR cash application.We are in a situation where some of our customers send their payments referencing an invoice number and a large portion of our customers do not have an invoice number while sending their payments to the bank.Can we use lockbox functionality in SAP to auto apply the payments when we do not have an invoice number from the customer?Can we basically match on customer number and amount while applying the payments automatically?

    does anybody have an answer for the query above. I think it can be cleared through a matching criteria with customer having open-items. we can set the matching criteria in ob74. What i have a question is about how to configure auto-cash clearing and is there a different parameter to clear it in f.13. Thanks.

  • Segregation of Cash application and application of on account AR payments

    Hi Friends,
    We have a requirement to segregate cash application to customer accounts and application of on account payments from customer account. The requirement is coming from Internal audit. They want a process where a group of users can apply payments to the customers , they can apply payment directly to invloice if they know it. But if they don't know the same, they can post on account to the customer. Another group of users (collectors) can call up customer and find for which invoice, the payment needs to be applied and can clear on account payment to an invoice. In FI module, application of payment to customer can be done by using TR code F-28 and account clearing can be done using Tr code F-04/F-32. These two functions can be segregated by restricting access of F-28 to only cash application group. But if the collector wants, he/she can post to cash account using Tr code F-32/F-04 also. SAP does allow to enter any GL Account in clearing Tr codes also so it does not seem possible to segregate these two functions just by restricting access to Tr code F-28. Restricting access of collectors to all GL Accounts may not work as they may have to post exchange rate gain/loss which are GL Accounts.  Has anyone dealt with such situation and how was it solved? Any suggestion would be helpful.
    Thanks and regards,

    These are the documents which it creates
    Original Invoice :
    COMPANY  A,
    Customer   debit  :                  100 dollars
    Revenue account  credit :         100 dollars.
    After CASH application:
    cross - company document created : 100000

                       inter - comp account credit :   100 dollars.
    The thing is when I pull up the customer from company A , it still shows in open items list , but the fact is it is cleared in a diff company.
    What do I need to do to remove it from the open item list, or what is the correct procedure .

  • Cross - company cash application for Accounts recievables

    Kindly let me know how to conduct an cross company cash application. Which transaction will best accomplish this .
    I have set - up the cross - company clearing account between the 2 companies.
    Thanks in advance.

    If I am not wrong, your company code A receives payment from customer and you want to clear the customer open item in company code B.  If you have done the cross-company code clearing between these two company codes using T Code OBYA, then all you have to do is make the following posting in company code A.
    Dr. Cash/Bank $100 (in company code A)
    Cr. Customer $100 (in company code B)
    System will automatically generate the following postings.
    Dr. Cash/Bank $100 (in CoCd A)
    Cr. Clearing with CoCd B $100 (in CoCd A)
    Dr. Clearing with CoCd A $ 100 (in CoCd B)
    Cr. Customer $100 (in CoCd B)
    Clearing accounts are what you specify in OBYA.
    Assign pts. if this answers your question!

  • Lockbox processing:Autocash application issue

    Hi gurus,
    i am using Autocash application to clear my customer invoices who uses the lockbox facility set up with the house bank.
    i uploaded the BAI2 file but the system gives me this message in the 'Main Lockbox Program' screen "No customer with MICR number".
    Could you explain why this happen?
    If a customer was not picked from the MICR number, system should have identified it using the invoice number explicitly given in the file. Is there any priority which system assigns while looking for the customer to clear?
    is it mandatory to give the 'Bank details' in the 'Payment transactions' tab of the customer master data to enable the customer for lockbox check payment?
    Kindly answer these questions to satisfy my enthusiasm and anguish of my client.
    Thanks and regards,
    ficoguy.

    Hi All,
    i have two questions with regard to the first question i posted in the beginning of this thread.
    1) The procedure used by SAP to upload the file sent by bank for creating the payment advice is 'LOCKBOX' (tcode OBAY). This  procedure is available in 3 record formats, BAI, BAI2 and IDoc. So when we upload the file sent to us by the bank, how will the system know that the file being uploaded is of which format.
    2) In the same transaction i mentioned (OBAY) SAP mentiones two record types; record type 6 and record type 4. What is these record types?
    Kindly explain

  • Cash Application using FF_5 Bank Statement

    Hello,
    We are currently processing European customer invoice payments using the FF_5 Bank Statement transaction. The bank files are in BAI2 format. We have been successful in getting invoices to automatically clear when the bank file contains correct invoice number(s) and payment amount, but without an invoice number/payment match the payments remain unprocessed and must be processed manually. Some, but not all, of the payments are received with IBAN numbers but we do not currently have the IBAN functionality implemented on our customer masters (although we do for vendor masters).
    In contrast, using the lockbox functionality in the US we are able to have payments posted to the customer's account when the customer's banking information is present or partially applied in cases when there is a partial match between invoice number(s) and payment amount.
    Similar to the success we have in the US using the lockbox functionality, we would like to have our European payments post to the customer accounts or be partially applied (where appropriate) in cases where there is not an exact match for invoice number(s) and payment amount between the bank file and the customer account. Is there a way to make this happen?
    We are on ECC 6.0.  I have searched for OSS notes on this topic, have searched related questions in this Forum and have searched the internet for guidance on this but have found nothing useful.  Does anyone have any insight into this?

    Hi,
    AL11 - You can create the folders. These are the folders in application server. Nothing but they are create in one of your network drive but linked to AL11 by your basis consultant.
    You should not upload the bank statement from your local drive due to security concerns. There are chances that the file values can be manipulated. The file you are uploading from presentation server.

    Ravi
