Bank Statements 

The system enables you to create bank statements for the accounts managed in the system. The required data is made available by means of interfaces or as a print order. The printing and the special layout of forms must be supported by upstream systems.

You can create a bank statement for an account in three different ways:

·        Periodic output in a mass run

The system selects all accounts due for a bank statement generation run on a certain date (in accordance with the periodic dates defined in the master data of the account). It then creates the corresponding bank statement and the data is transferred to an interface. The date for the next bank statement is updated on the account.
Parallel processing is used for these tasks.
This means that this option is suitable for automatic runs during periodic task processing (depending on the product, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually).

·        On demand, for example, via a connection to a self-service bank statement printer

There is a BAPI that other systems, for example, the self-service bank statement printer, can use to call up the bank statement data via an interface. The sequential number of the bank statement is updated, and the next bank statement lists only the items that have arisen since the bank statement was requested. The due date for the next bank statement run is not updated.

You have the following choices for the bank statement output:

·        Bank statement without turnovers

This shows the account on which there has been no flow. Statements without turnovers are handled in the same way as statements with turnovers, meaning the sequential number is updated. Bank statements without turnovers are balance notifications.

·        Simulation

You can simulate the periodic bank statement and display it on the screen (using Bank Statement when you maintain the account master data). No periodic counters are changed.

·        Bank statements for back postings in the last year:

Statements for a balanced period before the start of the current year are created. This mainly concerns back postings to the previous year.

¡        Choose Periodic Tasks ® Bank Statement ® New Run ® Single Run.

¡        Specify the bank area, the account number and the required statement date.

Using the statement date, the system checks if there are bank statements for the year required. If this is the case, the system creates a new bank statement with a sequential number for the previous year. However, the items that have since arisen are not added on to the original balance, so that the balances of the bank statements for the next following year remain in order. This applies in particular to back postings. This item is also created for back postings on the bank statement for the previous year, but the balance remains unchanged.

The system transfers a statement recipient address, the account, and the turnover data for the bank statement. This is determined as follows:

·        If only one business partner is entered in the role of the bank statement recipient, the address of this business partner applies.

·        If an account has more than one bank statement recipient, the business partner indicated as the recipient of the original bank statement receives the original and the others receive a bank statement marked “duplicate”.

·        If no bank statement recipients have been created, the account holder and the standard address are transferred.

The system provides these customer fields in addition to the output on the bank statement for each item if you have maintained customer fields for the bank area in Customizing, under Account Management ®Basic Functions in Account Management ® Maintain Field Label for Customer Fields.

If you have set the corresponding indicator for a transaction type in Customizing under Account Management ®Basic Functions in Account Management ®Maintain Transaction Types, the system does not display the reference account on the bank statement for the items that were generated with this transaction type. This enables you to ensure that there is no information on the bank statement that concerns internal interim accounts at the bank.
