#COE #BA01 MT940 Bank Statement Already Exists Errors

[RyanMuller]

Hello,

In our S/4HANA Cloud system we're encountering errors with MT940 bank statement files from some banks because the system is reading that the bank is including the same statement number in each end of day file.

We get a eod statement file for Jan 31, 2024 and a file for Feb 2, 2024 and because the statement number line is the same in both (28C: 00002/001)  the system errors when we try to load the Feb 2 file. How can we get resolve this issue in S/4HANA Cloud? 

The existing notes and questions on this only highlight how to do this in previous on premise environments with access to the bank end tables or error messaging.

Thanks for your help!

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

you should report this to your bank. Imagine you buy a book and the book publisher is using the same number on all of his pages. Wouldn't that be confusing? You want to know if it's the third page or the fifth. If all pages have the number "3" I would return the book to the book publisher and ask for a refund or a book which has an ongoing page number.

The only option I see it to download the file, adjust the statement number yourself and upload it via Manage Incoming Payment Files app.

Best,
