FF_5 Bank Statement Upload Error

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a bank statement file in a specific share drive path and when I import this file using transaction FF_5, it gives the error message (FB 704) File \Accounts\ Bankstatements upl in disk drive J: cannot be opened.

But I am not getting the error messages for the similar type of other Banks file in MT940 format stored in the same path but in the other folder within the same path and same drive.

On the other hand, when I change the location of the bank file and also the folder in which the file is stored within the same drive or move it to my C drive, I am able to successfully upload the file.

Can any one suggest to me how to over come this error ? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Regards

AJ

Hello,

You are right.

In AL11, you should have a naming convention. This should be consistent across the systems like DEV, QAS and PRD. For security reason, you must always upload the file from AL11 secured folders.

Make sure that the folder length is less the filed name in transaction code FF.5 or FF_5 for file name.

Hello,

What do you mean by AL11 secured folders? As far as I know , I was trying to upload the file from local drive or shared drive. In AL11, you can locate the file downloaded from SAP and not the bank file uploaded into SAP from FF_5 . Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,

AL11 - You can create the folders. These are the folders in application server. Nothing but they are create in one of your network drive but linked to AL11 by your basis consultant.

You should not upload the bank statement from your local drive due to security concerns. There are chances that the file values can be manipulated. The file you are uploading from presentation server.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But presently we are uploading the file from the one of the network drive which has a limited access.We never upload from the local drive.But you can always copy the file from the network drive and bring it to local drive in case if we get an upload error.

Is there possibility to restrict the above movement to local drive in case if we use AL11 directories ?

Hello,

Upload from local drive can be restricted through authorizations. You please contact your security team to restrict the access to upload from local drive (presentation serve)

Nobody should even copy from the directory.

Problem is resolved.I just reduce the length of the folder name and then it worked.
