Electronic Bank Statement

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Besides configuration for the electronic bank statement under "Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement", what else has to be configured?

Hi Daniel,

In order to get valid partner number, you need to maintain the house banks/bank accounts via t/code <b>FI12</b> or <b>FI12CORE</b>.

Hope this will help.

Hi Daniel,

Welcome to SDN.

Here is a rough outline of the primary configuration steps necessary to set up Electronic Bank Statements (EBS) Processing in SAP for most customers in North America.

1. Create House Bank and Account ID (FI12)

2. Setup EDI Partner Profile for FINSTA Message Type (WE20)

3. Configure Global Settings for EBS (IMG)

- Create Account Symbols

- Assign Accounts to Account Symbols

- Create Keys for Posting Rules

- Define Posting Rules

- Create Transaction Types

- Assign External Transaction Types to Posting Rules

- Assign Bank Accounts to Transaction Types

4. Define Search String for EBS(Optional)

- Search String Definition

- Search String Use

5. Define Program and Variant Selection

Additional information is also available in the SAP Library under Financial Accounting > Bank Accounting (FI-BL) > Electronic Bank Statement > Electronic Account Statement Customizing

Also please check this link for more information on EBS.

Hello,

Thank you for your detailed response. I am in transaction WE20 "Create partner profiles" for partner type "B" bank. I enter the bank "BOA01" and am getting message number "E0342" Enter a permissible partner number. Where am I suppose to get a valid partner number?

Ferry,

I have an additional question.

We are trying to define a search string so that in the following bank transaction the string would pick up DR then 38742317 and then post to our already defined posting rune. We originally set it as (DR|38742317) and when running it through test it had the two hits and then pointed to the posting rule. But when we tried to load the statement it didn't post according to this definition. In that same upload a search string was picked up for a different posting and posted correctly.

Can you help. Are we defining the string correctly?
