New Postprocessing for Account Statements (SAP Library - Electronic Account Statement (FI-BL))

New Postprocessing for Account Statements

Use

The new function for postprocessing account statements (transaction FEBAN) makes it easier for you to process account statement items that the electronic account statement could not post automatically.

Prerequisites

You have activated the SAP R/3 Enterprise Financials Extension 1.10.

Features

The following functions are available:

Specific selection of account statement items

You can use various criteria to select the items that you want to process, for example, posting rule, amount, accounting document, and so on.

You can save the criteria you require in a variant. For example, you can always call up the statements for the previous day using the same variant.

Display account statement items

Using the functions of the ALV list, you can display the statement items such that only the information required for processing appears. You can display and filter the first line of the note to payee to make the selection of the items more flexible.

Edit account statement items

You can correct the selected items one after another using the keyboard. At the end, you trigger the automatic posting for all changed items by pressing one key. Additional functions that make your work easier:

Display the note to payee separately

You can display the note to payee in a separate window so that it is always available for processing. This also works for several items. Depending on the items selected or changed, the note to payee is updated.

Block items or account statements

When you edit an item, this is automatically blocked for other users. When you post the item or postprocess account statements, the system removes the block. However, you can also block account statements or specific items for other users.

Change customer

In addition to changing the posting rule, you can also enter a customer so that the customer account can be cleared automatically.

Delete payment advice note

In several cases, you can delete payment advice notes that you do not need and that contain the clearing information in cases where posting failed (also in a mass procedure).

Selection and posting fields

You can fill up to three batch input fields for posting. For example, you can enter a barcode. You can use the Business Transaction Event (BTE) 2850 to make this easier. This enables you, for example, to always enter the same field name.

You can also select the open items in the corresponding three fields. You can also use a function module for BTE 2850 to make the input easier. For more information about BTEs, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Financial Accounting.
