2 Postprocessing BankStatements in the StandardSAP SystemThe next step after importing the electronic bankstatements in SAP is to assign and post incorrectbank statement items. This chapter looks at the functions for postprocessing bank statements in detail. Inparticular, it examines the enhanced options available in Enhancement Package 6 (EhP6).The rules and elements defined in Customizing for theautomatic posting of bank statements, as well as optional user exits and search patterns, rarely achieve a posting quota that can be managed without additional postprocessing of the bank statement information. In thestandard SAP system, there are two options available forfurther postprocessing of electronic bank statements:you can use the batch input processing functions or postincorrect documents directly via transactions FEBAN orFEBA. With the introduction of SAP Release 4.7 Enterprise, the existing postprocessing transaction FEBA wassupplemented with the revised version FEBAN. Thefocus was on achieving the most productive and flexibleprocessing of incorrect documents.You decide which option to select for postprocessing atthe time of the import in program RFEBKA00.The standard program for electronic bank statementprocessing offers you the two options mentioned above:49
POSTPROCESSING BANK STATEMENTS IN THE STANDARD SAP SYSTEM Post immediately (call transaction) Create batch input sessionsUsing the POST IMMEDIATELY function, you can use transaction FEBAN to postprocess the line items that werenot posted and assigned automatically. With this procedure, during the import, each line of the bank statementis interpreted immediately and saved in the bank datamemory with a document number. The status of a document or a posting (general and subledger) is visible forthe clerk immediately.Information: Classifying Transaction FEBANPostprocessing transaction FEBAN ispart of the Financials Extension (EA-FIN)Business Function which must first beactivated via the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide. The enhanced functions forbank statement processing are only available afterthis activation.If postprocessing via this enhancement is not desired,you can also use the predecessor transaction FEBA.However, the call of this transaction must also be ensured in advance.To do this, use transaction SM31 to call up viewV T100C. Via the MAINTAIN icon, you can access thechange mode for the table. Choose NEW FEBA as thearea. Create message 001, as shown in Figure 2.1:Transaction FEBAN not required, FEBA is starting.50
POSTPROCESSING BANK STATEMENTS IN THE STANDARD SAP SYSTEMFigure 2.1: Message control for bank statement postprocessingThe message ensures that you can postprocess thebank statements with transaction FEBA or FEBAN withan activated EA-FIN package. If the bank statements arenot processed via the option POST IMMEDIATELY, and youcreate batch input sessions instead, you cannot use oneof these two transactions.2.1Postprocessing Transaction FEBANIn contrast to FEBA, transaction FEBAN appears clearerand offers more information for postprocessing documents. Numerous small enhancements also ensure acertain degree of flexibility and enable adjustments toindividual requirements for bank statement posting. Asan example, the following points aim to show how youcan adapt the postprocessing further to your requirements.In the standard SAP system, the following are availablefor users for further processing of bank statements: Tree display Grid display (table display)51
POSTPROCESSING BANK STATEMENTS IN THE STANDARD SAP SYSTEMIn the standard system, the bank statements are generally selected via the tree display. However, the standardformat is rather spartan and provides insufficient information for the selected house bank.Therefore, if the tree display is not required here, youcan use Note 1741730 to define the default display (treeor grid display) via the user parameter FEBAN DEFDISPLAY. Furthermore, you can replace the standardtree with a customer-specific tree using enhancement2870 of the Business Transaction Event (BTE). Afterimplementing Notes 725650 and 738353, as illustratedin Figure 2.2, a total of three display levels are available: Level 1: own house bank (house bank fromFI12), company code, and bank ID (e.g., banknumber) Level 2: own account (account ID from transaction FI12), account number Level 3: statement number, statement date,short ID, and closing balanceDuring the import, the SAP standard system automatically creates a payment advice for postings that were notsuccessful in posting area 2 (subledger). Therefore, thepayment advices created have to be selected duringdocument postprocessing—meaning additional work thatis generally unwelcome to the user. You can use Note452579 to suppress the creation of payment advices intransaction FEBAN, and the customer or vendor to becorrected can be selected immediately. If necessary, youmay have to install this note across all release versions.52
POSTPROCESSING BANK STATEMENTS IN THE STANDARD SAP SYSTEMFigure 2.2: Customer-specific tree for postprocessing withFEBANAnother option for displaying bank statements is via thegrid or table display. You can switch to this view via theicon. This display increases the flexibility ofthe postprocessing even further. On one hand, you canadapt the layout to your own needs by displaying additional optional fields. With this view, you can also changethe posting rules for incorrect documents (see Figure2.3). In Customizing, the business transaction codes(BTCs) are usually defined in a posting rule. However,this assignment is not always correct, meaning that lineitems can be interpreted incorrectly.53
