In SAP systems, especially in older releases like yours (SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP4), the support and handling of XML files for importing bank statements can be somewhat limited. RFEBKA00 is a standard program for the electronic bank statement, however this program does not necessarily support reading XML formats right out of the box if no specific enhancements or implementations have been made. Here are some steps you might consider: 1. Check the system configuration: Make sure that all necessary patches and updates are installed that might improve XML handling. Even if EHP4 is quite old, it might be helpful to check if later fixes or supporting packages are available. 2. Customizing check: Check in transaction SPRO (Customizing) if there are specific settings for importing XML-based account statements. It is possible that the functionality is not immediately available after a standard installation or without additional configuration. 3. Alternative implementation: If RFEBKA00 and the related functionalities do not directly support XML, you could consider a custom solution. This could involve developing your own program or using a BAPI or other interface that can parse XML files and load the data into SAP accordingly. 4. Add-ons or third-party tools: Check whether there are add-ons or third-party tools that have been developed specifically for SAP ECC to process XML account statements. Often these tools offer enhanced support for such formats. 5. Upgrade considerations: In the long term, upgrading to a newer SAP release (such as SAP S/4HANA) that offers better and more integrated support for modern data formats may be worth considering. 6. SAP Notes and Support: Use the SAP Support Portal to find specific notes or documentation related to your version that may provide solutions or workarounds for dealing with XML files. In summary, direct support for XML formats in older SAP versions is often limited and may require specialized implementation or additional tools.
