Use

This business function changes the function for postprocessing electronic bank statements. Using the new interface, it is faster and easier to select and correct items that you do not want to post automatically with the Electronic Bank Statement function.

Integration

Postprocessing of lockboxes is also integrated in the new function for postprocessing of electronic bank statements. This allows you to create dispute cases for checks.

Prerequisites

You have activated the Financials Extension (EA-FIN) business function. This changed function is not available unless you do so.

To be able to create dispute cases while postprocessing lockboxes, you have to be using the SAP Dispute Management (FIN-FSCM-DM) application component.

Otherwise, there are no changes to the prerequisites for using account statement postprocessing.

Features

The functions of the SAP List Viewer (ALV) for filtering, searching, and sorting allow you to display and process bank statements in the way that works best for you. With one keystroke, you can automatically post several items at once. The note to payee, which contains important information for automatic posting of account statement items, is always visible in a separate window while the posting screens are displayed in sequence by the system.

You can access this function (as before) on the SAP Easy Accessscreen by choosing Accounting → Financial Accounting → Banks → Incomings → Bank Statement → Reprocess.
