3.5.2.2 Payment Transactions
3.5.2.2.1 Manual Bank Statement
3.5.2.2.1.1 Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement
UseIn this activity you make the global settings for the account statement. There are four main steps to be carried out:
Create account symbolSpecify G/L accounts (such as bank, cash receipt, outgoing checks) whose postings have to be made from account statement. You assign account symbols to the G/L account numbers. These are required for the posting rules in step 2.
Assign accounts to account symbolsDefine postings to be triggered by possible transactions in the account statement (such as bank transfer, debit memo). In the Posting Specifications Debit Credit which you define here, use the account symbols from step 1, but not the G/L account numbers. This prevents similar posting rules being defined several times, the only difference between them being the accounts to which postings are made.
Create keys for posting rulesAssign posting rules to possible transactions in account statement file. A list of assignments where one external transaction code is assigned to one posting rule is called transaction type.
Create a transaction typeAssign bank details, for which the account statements have to be imported, to a transaction type. All the house bank accounts at a particular bank are usually assigned to the same transaction type.
For the following entries you have one customizing topic. If you have entered the customizing topic you will find all other settings in the Dialog Structure on the left hand side of the screen.
Procedure

SAP Best Practices External Financial Accounting Basics (102): Configuration Guide
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP menu Financial Accounting (NEW) Bank Accounting Business Transactions Payment Transactions Electronic Bank Statement Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement
Transaction code SPRO
2. Enter chart of accounts 0010. Choose Continue.
3. Create Account and assign them to Account Symbols:
You create account symbols to define the posting specifications. Before the posting rules are used, the individual account symbols are replaced by the account to which items are to be posted. In this step, you define how accounts are determined for a particular account symbol. To avoid you having to define a separate account symbol for each individual house bank account (each with a different G/L account and separate bank clearing accounts), the G/L Acct field can contain a masked output.
Account Symbol Acct Mod. Currency G/L Account Acct Symb. Desc.
Y0 + + ++++++++++ Master Account
Y1 + + 113001 Wires Out
Y1 + EUR 113035 Wires Out
Y2 + + 113002 Wires In

Y6 + + 113006 Checks In
Y7 + + 113007 ZBA Transfer
Y8 + + 113008 Other Transfer
Y9 + + 113009 Treasury Transfer
4. Create Keys for Posting Rules:
In this step, you create the descriptions for the required posting rules. Each posting rule represents the business transaction on the bank statement in the SAP system, such as a check received, a credit memo or debit memo.
Posting Rule Text

Y04 Debit Master; Credit ACH In

Y30 Debit ACH Out; Credit Master
Y50 Debit Checks Out; Credit Master
Y70 Debit ZBA Transfers; Credit Master
Y80 Debit Other Transfers; Credit Master
Y90 Debit Treasury Transfers; Credit Master
5. Define Posting Rules/Posting Specifications:
In this step, you create posting specifications for each posting rule. The posting specifications enable you to define how a particular business transaction (such as a credit memo) has to be posted.
Posting specifications comprise one or two posting records Debit Credit. The first posting record is called posting area 1 and usually involves a G/L account posting (BANK ACCOUNT CASH RECEIPT, for example). The second posting record which is optional is called posting area 2 (CASH RECEIPT CUSTOMER, for example).
Depending on whether a posting transaction affects bank accounting only, or affects both bank accounting and subledger accounting, you define posting rules either for the first posting area only, or for both the first and second posting areas.

To enable the bank statement to find the item to be cleared in the vendor direct debit transaction, the bank details must be maintained in the vendor master record. The bank statement finds the vendor using the bank details and the item using the value (if unique).

3.6.4.1 Creating Financial Statement Version
UseIn this activity, you define the versions you need to create a balance sheet and profit and loss statement.
You can define versions for a specific chart of accounts, for a group chart of accounts, or without any specific assignment.
You then determine the financial statement items for your version.
You assign groups of accounts to the items at the lowest levels of the hierarchy. You can select the criteria that determine which items the accounts are displayed in. For example, accounts or groups of accounts can be assigned to particular items based on their balance.
Alternatively, you can also assign functional area intervals at the lowest level of the structure, instead of account intervals. Either account intervals or functional area intervals can be assigned to a financial statement item. You must explicitly define financial statement versions to which functional areas are assigned as such. You do this by setting the "Fun. area allowed" indicator. This financial statement version can then also be used by the notes to financial statement in the G/L account information system.
The financial statement version is a copy of the BAUS version for Accounting. It has been copied and renamed to 0010.
