Hi,

Usually there is only one statement per bank account for each day, but you may have several statements (with different statement numbers) for the same account ans the same date, it is not a problem. You may have several statements in the same file (with different banks, different dates, different accounts...).

I think that the sequence in the file has no importance: the program sort the statements internaly (at least in Musticash format; I'm not sure for MT940). In Multicash format, I had a small problem: when a file contains statements 99 and 100, the program sorts them alphabetically (100 before 99) and there is a warning saying 'statement 100 without 99'; but it's only a warning and the results are OK. I don't know if there is the same problem with MT940 (I switched recently from Multicash to MT940).

Hi,

you are right for FF67.

I don't know why you don't see anything. Please check in table FEBKO with FEBKO-EDATE = upload date.

Hello Henri,

Thanks for reply, I have uploaded MT940 file successfully and it is appearing in FF67 and FEBA also. Because the file which I got from bank is wrong file one record was missed.

For automatic reconciliation I mapped Assignment field in the algorithm but in MT940 file assignment field is coming test instead of cheque number

How can we get required field ?

Thanks

Hi,

FF67 is for manual statements. Please see with transaction FEBA or FEBAN for electronic bank statements.

[former_member481693]

Hi,

I have tried to see in FEBA and FEAN, nothing is displaying below message is like

"You have selected either no or several items.

To select, double-click on an item

at the top (list) or on the left (tree display)

of the screen."

I think we can able to see uploaded statements either manual or Electronic statements in FF67.

Because I have created one file with 2 entries debit and credit and uploaded in FF_5, it got uploaded and I have seen in FF67 also. But when I am uploading file which I got form bank it is not coming in FF67.

Thanks,

Hi,

I already sent this error to SAP, but the answer was I had to suppress the message. When you receive the first statement of the year (statement 1), you receive a message saying that statement 0 is missing. Obviously there is no statement 0. If you suppress the message, you will have no warning when there is a missing statement during the year (for exemple when receiving statement 54 without receiving statement 53). So suppressing warning messages is not a good solution for me. I suggested to SAP to add a test in the program for not issuing the message at statement 1, but they refused.

Hello Henri,

Thanks for reply!

I am getting warning message "Account ICIC0000081 008909017081 INR: Statement 201000000 is not in the bank data

storage"

then I click information button above message is showing,

Can we upload number of statements at a time in the single statement? or different statements need to upload?

How many statements can we upload for day?

Thanks,

Ratnam

You can upload multiple statements in a single file. However, if they are of the same date, all except the last one should be marked as intermediate statements (The closing & opening balance indicators for intermediate statements). Unless you get the statements in that form, SAP will not allow multiple statements for the same account in the same file.

Did you download the specifications of MT940 from the swift website? If you go through that file, you'll understand the format and a sample is also available there. In MT940, normally the header and line items are in the same file. If you received both separately, then the format might be of Multicash.

Hi,

Multicash format works with 2 files (auszug = header and umsatz = items).

MT940 works with a single file.

[former_member481693]

Hello,

Now I am able to upload MT940 fomat statement file in the system, but Warning message is appearing while uploading like

u201CAccount ICIC0000081 00510907081 INR: Statement 201000000 is not in the bank data storage

Message no. FB770

Diagnosis

The previous account statement has not been imported.

System Response

The system permits the import regardless.

Procedure

You can deactivate the message for the formats Multicash and MT940:

Effects on Customizing

You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.

You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.

The application area and message number can be taken from the technical documentation.u201D

Please suggest how to define message in system.

Hello Experts,

I have received file from bank in MT 940 format, the file is in Excel format, do we need to convert into text format before going to upload in T-code: FF_5?

Can any one explain how to proceed with uploading and process for electronic bank statement.

Thanks,

Ratnam.

Hello Ratnam,

I am not sure whether Excel file can be uploaded but better you can go with notepad file for uploading. And if you really want to test whether your configurations are correctly placed. YOu can do so by using program RFEBKATX it will create open items and simulataneously multi cash file format is available for you to test the same.

Do not worry even if it is a multi cash format it helps you in finding whether your configuration is correct or not.

Coming to upload of MT940 format. Go to FF_5 select import data button and give file format as S if it structured file otherwise I if it is unstructure. Then upload the file in the field statement file.

IN the posting parameters you can select either post immediately or do not post. Also give the algorithms for identifying the open items.

If you are not posting directly. Then once after upload you need to goto FEBAN transaction for doing the postings.

MT940 will normally be a text file with specialized indicators for each line and value. Try searching the internet and you'll get the format specifications. You can also get the specifications from the SWIFT website.

As told above, you'd use FF.5 or FF_5 to upload the statement where you'll select the indicator to identify your format (I or S). You'd use FEBA to post if you have not selected posting in FF_5 and later use F.13 to clear the Bank entries.

(If select both files, error message is triggering like "Line item file field can only be used with MultiCash format")

Please let me know which file need to be upload here because one is having 6 lines data like header data details and another is having entire transactions statement.

IF select only Statement file: Error message like u201CTermination in statement no. 00256 of ac 006106027099; closing record 62F missingu201D papering

Work station upload check box
