Function documentationImport and Forward (Automatically)

 

If you receive bank statements in formats BAI, SWIFT MT940 or XML, you use report Bank Statement Processing: Import and Forward (Automatically) (FEB_FILE_HANDLING).

Prerequisites

You have made the required settings in Customizing of Bank Accounting under Start of the navigation path Electronic Bank Statement Next navigation step Settings for the Data Import End of the navigation path. For more information about these settings, see the documentation for the relevant Customizing activities.

Features

You can use this report to import bank statements into the SAP system automatically, and forward to other systems if you need to. It reads the bank statement files from the application server directories, and therefore can be scheduled to run in the background at regular intervals. Depending on the settings you have made in Customizing, the system processes the imported bank statements, and forwards them as necessary.

The following formats are supported:

  • MT940, MT942

  • BAI

  • XML formats camt.053.001.02 and camt.054.001.02

    Note Note

    The transformations delivered support both of these XML formats in accordance with the standards laid down by the Common Global Implementation Initiative (CGI) for ISO 20022 messages. You can if necessary create a copy of a transformation, and adapt it to the requirements of your bank.

    End of the note.

For formats that are not supported or an import from the front end (PC), use report Bank Statement: Various Formats (SWIFT, MultiCash, BAI...) (RFEBKA00), which you call up using transaction Import (FF_5) (see Import).

Alternatively, you can also use formats that are not supported by implementing Business Add-In BAdI: Bank Statement Processing.For more information, see the Business Add-In documentation.
