Automatic Clearing of Vendor Item in FEBAN after EBS processing

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I've a question with respect to the automatic clearing of vendor open items after the EBS is uploaded.

Our client uses the payment order concept and we receive the payment order back in the CAMT053 xml bank statement. We are using the Interpretation Algorithm 029 - Payment Order for clearing the vendor open items. This is configured against the external transaction tyep PMNTICDTDMCT.

However, there were few vendor items got cleared automatically with the outgoing payment in the Bank statement with external transaction type as PMNTICDTDMCT and without the payment order available in the bank statement.

Can you please let me know what could be the possible reason for this?

Regards,

Surya

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your input. Yes I see the items in FEBCL table which are not supposed to be cleared automatically.

What could be the reason for auto clearing of the vendor item? Only debugging is the solution?

Hi Marssel,

Thanks for your input. I tried the same thing and I see that the vendor item is picked based on the amount field 'WRBTR'. But in my posting rule I've given the criteria as '029 Payment Order, under the Interpretation algorithm. so system should check for the payment order in the PYORDH table and then pick the vendor and clear.

Here, in my case, eventhough there is no payment order is present, system clears the open item for that vendor (i guess the vendor code is picked based on the vendor bank account number received in the bank statement), just if the amount matches.

Is there any solution to avoid this clearing. This be an issue if I've multiple documents posted in the vendor with same amount and the system clears a wrong AP item.

Hi,

you can test your file by FF.5 with batch input in posting parameters. Go to SM35 and run in foregound to check how documents are getting cleared screen by screen.

Hi,

Check your entries in FEBCL table for the relevant bank statements and verify that the clearing information is duly present. If it's not the case, then the you'd better debug the whole process of statement upload to see why clearing information is not registered.

Hi Eli,

Thanks for the input. Here my question is why the clearing happened in-spite of no relevant details present in the bank statement except the amount.

Ideally the vendor open item should have been cleared only if there is any reference for the Payment order and the same is availble both in the bank statement and against the vendor open item. In my case there is no reference available in bank statement yet the vendor item got cleared.

OK, sorry... was reading your message too fast 🙂

Still the analysis should be the same: check FEBCL table and see if there is clearing information for the items which, in your opinion, were not supposed to be cleared automatically.
