LockBox

Hello Experts,
I need to know the bank account # where the customer payments are going to. The payment method is blank in the customer master data - however the lockbox field is populated ( table : KNB1).
How do we find out the bank account # from the Lock Box #.
All answers would be duly rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Nandita

I don't have any lockbox file with me - I just need to know what account the payment would go to if the customer makes a payment.
Thanks,
Nandita

One lockbox for multiple company codes

Is it possible to have one lockbox for multiple company codes?

No, I don't think so. Lockbox is 1:1 for a Company Code.
You configure Lockbox for a Company Code.
You can use one of the 2 available Lockbox user exits (not sure which) to write a piece of code that searches invoices against the customer posted to different company codes. You will have to have the intercompany setups.
You may find an OSS notes for intercompany clearing.
Hope this helps!

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.

Has FB15 transaction implementation caused side effects to Lockbox

We have recently implemented the new transaction FB15 for assigning of open items in customer account clearing.
Since implementation we are having issues in post processing of Lockbox . In the past we have been able to go back to previous month applied on account items from the lockbox application (Transaction Feba_Lockbox) and apply them to the proper invoices by changing the posting date to current month. Now we are not able to get to the screen that allows us to change the posting date and we get a hard error that says posting period is closed

> Does anyone know exactly what the problem is (what has Microsoft changed) ?
a) Go to <http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/p-006.shtml> and search for the "CAN-" links. Each component has a one paragraph description.
b) According to <http://patch-info.de/IE/2004/10/12/20-35-16.html> it contains:

Among other issues, that page says [emphasis added]:
- After you install the MS04-038 security updates for Internet Explorer, some dynamic HTML (DHTML) drag-and-drop operations are blocked by Internet Explorer.
- Security update 834707 includes a change to the way that Internet Explorer handles function pointers. This change in functionality occurs when an event handler points directly to a Document Object Model (DOM) function [...] Change in Internet Explorer function pointer behavior causes code to not be executed when an event handler is set to directly reference a DOM function after installing MS04-038 security updates.
BTW, Note 785308 has been updated with a workaround.

Using Lockbox want to hit different GL account for each payment

Hi Everyone,
Currently, we have lockbox up and running for credit card payments from third party system and hitting cash account in Oracle.
I want to implement one more payment mode for e.g. ACH, which will hit differed revenue account in Oracle.
1. Now, as the current lockbox is hitting cash, I didn't left with any other option but I ended up setting up new lockbox with deffered revenue account attached to it. Here correct me if I am wrong with my understanding. Can one lockbox hit different GL account for different payment mode like Cash account for Credit Card and Differed Revenue account for ACH?
2. With my assumption from point 1 that I have to create new one for different GL account, I created new lockbox and added lockbox number in transmission format, control file and in data file. After that launched lockbox program for each lockbox number with understanding that each lockbox program will pick up its own payment records based on lockbox nubmer in datafile and process it. But what happened is that first lockbox program processed its own record and also another lockbox number records and finally, its processed its own way of hitting cash account. So again payments hit cash accounts, where my expectation was that each lockbox will pick up its own lockbox number record and hit it to respective GL account i.e. cash and deffered revenue.
Why one lockbox processed another lockbox number records also from same file?
How to achieve this? I dont want to make two seperate data file for each lockbox number, but want to process from one single data file.
Please update me ASAP as I need to freeze the requirement at the earliest.

I suggest you to create a Dummy Materials. Lets say,
material number: 1001
enter material description as Domestic
material number: 1002
enter material description as Imports
and in OBYC for GBB
make the following settings:
val grp      gen mod    val cla      gl a/c dr     gl a/c cr
0001     VBR     4000     74180040     74180040
0001     VBR     4001     78020091     78020091
so that when u create PO u can get default GL (consumption GL ) for the material (u can use the same for material group also) and u can maintain WRX acc determination as follows ..
val grp   val cla    gl a/c dr   gl a/c cr
0001      4000     123456     123456
0001      4001     456789     456789
Thus u need to create 2 different valuation class for these material group specific and in PO while entering the text u can add the text which is displayed along with material description
hope this helps

Lockbox User Exit Selection Fields and Matching Open Items in CustomerAccts

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have an issue with lockbox process. The problem is selecting the customer open item for clearing. Our Client uses standard SAP USER EXIT (FEBLB001).
Our billing document number does not equal to the financial accounting document number all the time. We store our billing document number in the Assignment field some times, and so this is the number the customer will reference when remitting payment. I have not been able to find a way to make the SAP system to use the customer's reference number (e.g. Assignment field) to clear the open item.
I m not sure how to resolve this issue. As far as my knowledge, we have to add selection field ZUONR to USER EXIT apart from XBLNR, BELNR. Please help me with this problem by providing me some basic knowledge. I would greatly appreciate for help.
Thanks

Please Anybody,
I m waiting for anybody to give their expertize.
Thanks

Lockbox and clearing the Open Items

Hi,
I have a requirement and advise me will it be possible with standard SAP .
Invoice 1 amt 500 USD
Invoice 2 amt 600 USD
Lockbox amt   1000
Expectation :
Lock Box program should clear both the invoices and create a the diff of 100 ( 600+500 -1000) as residual amount.
But I prefer to keep 100 with a diffrent Doc type .
Is it possible?
Alternatively I want to creeate the difference to another account like below
Dr Lockbox      1000
Dr Diff Clearing 100
Cr customer    600
Cr Customer     500
If the second option is required what should I do in User Exit . Looking for yr advice please.
Regards, Chitras

Hi,
If you are using BAI2 format of Lockbox file, it is possible to process partial payments. In the configuration you need to select the check box "Partial Payments". When this is selected a new line item is posted for the difference amount. This will be posted to Customer account as per the SAP standard.
In case if you need to post to a cleaing account (GL Account), you need to analyze whether it is possible through an user exit.
Thanks
Murali.

Need SAP not to clear off the payment in LockBox processing

HI,
In the case of the lockbox processing, we want that the system doews not clear off the invoice in case there is payment difference.
We want to take dicision on those payments manually.
Regards,
MCA

Hi,
You need to define the tolerances in OBA3 and OBXL.
Then the system will not clear off the invoices, instead it will post the ament on account, which you need to then post process.

Payment Advcie - EDI 823 (Lockbox - Incoming Payment)

Hello,
In process of testing EDI 823(Lockbox u2013 Incoming Payments) using testtool, Idocs are been successfully processing when an attempt is made to post the incoming customeru2019s payment for an open invoice (Basic type u2013 FINSTA01, Message type u2013 LOCKBX). Payment advice note is being generated for the successful processed Idocs.
Then we ran a report RFAVIS40 in SE38 which basically selects the payments advices and then posts the clearing document. In the process when we are trying to execute the report for the generated payment advices u201CFor document type DZ, an entry is required in field referenceu201D this is the message we are getting.
Manually I execute the same payment advice number using FBE2. When I enter the info in u2018Payment totalu2019 and u2018Payment doc.nou2019. at the Header level of FBE2 and then I run the report again, invoice documents are getting cleared.
What config settings require to automate this functionality? OR Am I missing any mandatory field information at the time I process Idoc? OR System would work only in this manner?
Please pass your comments.
Thanks.

Hi,
Have never worked with EDI earlier so have some basic questions.
We have an interface for incoming payments. The idea is that the incoming EDI IDOC interface would clear the open items in the customer account.
Initially, have planned to use PEXR200/ REMADV, but realised that it is for creation of a payment advice. Can i use this to clear post and accounting doc or clear an open item in the customer account.
Is there any other IDOC that i can use.
thanks in advance

Lockbox / Payment advice and cash discount

Hello
I am using lockbox (EDI 823) to apply cash to customers. It happens that customers don't take cash discount or just take a partial cash discount. I have implemented exits in program RFBELB20 for other controls and invoice indentification.
When the transaction processed, the payment should be applied to the invoice. However, when it is posted by SAP, cash discount is selected and payment is rejected because the overall payment difference is too big.
In F-28, I can either deactivate the cash discount, or force the cash discount amount, either to zero or to a value less than the maximum cash discount allowed.
In the table AVIP (payment advice detail), I have the fields WSKTO and XAKTS that, I supposed would allow me to do the same as in F-28. But it is not working. I may not fill AVIP with the correct data.
How should I process this ? I can't imagine SAP does not allow this.
Regards

Any ideas ?

Lockbox Issue with payment on exact day as Cash Discount Days 1 Due Date

Dear Gurus
We are running into an issue in as much as when we receive a payment against our Lockbox on the exact day as the Cash Discount Days 1 due date the system posts this as an on account posting as opposed to applying the cash against the open receivable and posting the difference to the Cash Discount Account.
E.g. Invoice 10000 Payment term 34 days 2% Net 35. I created the AR invoice today with invoice date and posting date of Oct 9, 2009 and posted the same. Received payment $ 9800 on Lockbox file today Nov 12 using the BAI2 format Lockbox file and found that the system did not even show the invoice # on the Lockbox reports but it recognized the customer based on the MICR # and posted an on account payment. It gave the error" F5 263 Difference too large for Clearing"
The users have prior complained that this situation arises in F-28 as well where they would have to force the discount instead of the system recognizing the same if cash was being applied on the same date as the Cash discount Days 1 due date.
Any help in this regards will be geratly appreciated and points awarded.
Regards
Satpal Narang

Hi Satpal,
Please check the net due date of the document which you are trying to do the payment. As it is critical information to calculate the cash discount.
I hope this helps.

Lockbox Issue

Hello Experts,
I have a question regarding the lockbox. We are using partial payment option in lockbox (OB10) and we have 0 tolerance at both customer and user level.
The customer has an open invoice of $300 and that he pays $400 towards this invoice.
When I tested this scenario,
a) I got the check status as applied and
b) The Invoice and the payment document are still open.
Is this correct?
My guessing for the check status applied is because of 0 tolerances, lockbox applied the cash to that invoice. If we had any tolerances then overpayment beyond the overpay tolerance amount is not allowed and that the amount sits on the account.
Coming to the point b, because the customer is overpaying the invoice (not exact invoice amount) the invoice is still open. Am I correct?
Please let me know as this is really important.
Regards,
Harish R

this is correct, you will have to manually credit the customer account the $100 for the overpayment.
