Hello,
We are using the Electronic Bank Statement to load our bank statements to SAP. We are loading prior day bank statements. We sometimes notice, a few days after the statement has been loaded, that the bank statement which was provided by the bank and loaded to SAP does not contain all activity of the actual bank statement for that day. For example, there might be transactions that take longer to process through the clearing system or the bank's local branches in some countries may not have processing completed in time to meet the cutoff time when the bank statement was provided.
This causes alot of issues because once the missing transactions are noticed we need to delete the originally loaded bank statement from the SAP bank directory (using RFEBKA96), generate a new statement on the banks system to catch all the transactions for that date, and then manually load these to SAP with FF_5. There is alos the added complication that the original bank statement will have already posted documents into FI (some of which will have been cleared) so it is very time-consuming to reverse all the old transactions which we need to do to avoid duplicate postings from the latest bank statement load.
Can you advise please does SAP have any functionality to handle incremental prior-day bank statements (in similar way that it handles incremental current-day or intraday bank statements)? With such an option, we coudl schedule prior-day incremenatl statement to load hourly following the initial statement load and so catch all late data in the subsequent bak statement loads?
If there is no such option, can you please advise on a process that coudl help us hanlde such situations in a betterway? We could ask the bank to deliver at a later time in the day those countries' bank statements which don't meet the cutoff time. Hwoever, wven with this approach we couldn't guarantee that all transactions would always be caught.
Any advice on how to hanlde this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards
Michael
