Bank Statement

[Former Member]

Hi

We are using EDIFACT messages for the bank statement processing. We are getting two EDIFACT message

CREMUL - Customer Incoming payment - This is coming as a flat file

FINSTA - Bank Statement - This is coming as an IDOC

We are getting one message each of each of the account. When we process CREMUL a bank statement is created. When we try to load FINSTA we are getting error message that the bank statement already exist. I think the program is checking Bank key, Bank Account and the statement date and not the message type. Is there any workaround so that we can load both messages for the same account.

Thanks a lot

Ashok

Hi Ashok,

are CREMUL and FINSTA containing the same bank statement?

If yes, it does not make sense to import a single bank statement twice. It does not matter if it comes in two different ways. You have to choose the way which you like more.

Hi Matthias

Both statements have the same Bank Key, Bank account and the date is also same. Do you think that it is not possible to load both of them??

thanks

Hi Ashok,

at first you have to find out, if they are the same.

What about the statement number?

Do they contain the same line items?

If they are the same there is no need to upload them both. On the contrary if you upload the same twice, you will get double postings.

Hi Mattias

They are not the same.

The CREMUL - contains only the customer incoming payments

The FINSTA - contains the outgoing payment and other charges etc.

Since both statement are for the same account, we could load only CREMUL and not FINSTA.

Thanks

Hi Ashok,

SAP does not recommend to use different formats for a single bank account.

Ok, now we know they are different, but the system thinks they are the same.

Do the two statements have the same statement number?

Hi Matthias

The statement numbers are different for both statements.

Hi Ashok,

in this case I would expect you could import the IDoc...

If you want I could give you some hints for debugging...

Kind Regards
