Hello, the problem you are describing indicates that the adjustments for processing the camt.008 files in your SAP ERP ECC system may not yet be optimally configured. In SAP, it is actually possible to configure the payment transaction files so that the bank statement numbers are assigned automatically. This setting is made in the Electronic Bank Statement (EBS) area. The interpretation and processing of fields such as the LglSeqNb
can be done by configuring the interpretation algorithms. The following steps can help you to configure the automatic assignment of bank statement numbers correctly: 1. EBS Customizing: First visit the SPRO (Customizing) path in your SAP system: - Financial Accounting (FI) - Bank Accounting - Business Transactions - Payment Transactions - Electronic Bank Statement - Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement Search here for options to set the bank statement numbers. There are a number of algorithms that can be used for the assignment, depending on how your bank files are structured. 2. Interpretation algorithm: You can also implement a specific algorithm (e.g. a separate function module) in the above-mentioned area of Customizing to interpret the LglSeqNb
from the camt.008 files as a statement number: - Create Interpretation Algorithm 3. Corresponding technical settings and tests: If the interpretation algorithm has been adapted or newly created, it is important that you test the configuration accordingly. You can upload test files to ensure that the statement numbers are now correctly extracted and assigned from the files. 4. Debugging and logs: If problems occur, check the SM35 for batch input, SE38 for running programs such as RFEBKA00, and check the logs to see if errors occur during the processing.
If you do not have access to this area in SPRO or need additional help, it might be useful to consult your SAP Basis Administrator or an SAP FI/CO consultant to make specific adjustments safely. Finally, SAP documentation or a specific SAP Support Portal would also be helpful to ensure that all steps are done according to best practices and with full understanding of the processes involved.
