Electronic Bank Statement
Use
You can use the electronic bank statement to transfer bank statement data to
SAP Cash and Liquidity Management
electronically. You receive the bank statement by means of
banking communication software (BCS)
, which dials into your credit institution and transfers the data.
To carry out this data transfer, you need a transfer program (standardized format), such as MultiCash, that understands the BCS. MultiCash reads the required data from the banks (such as the bank statement) to an interim store in the system.
See Electronic Bank Statement Formats for an overview of the international formats supported for the electronic bank statement.
