Dear All,

Request you to please help me in understanding why the option of posting special gl indicator is not enabled through Fiori but doable in GUI for the incoming payments. In Fiori(APP- Reprocess bank statement Items) the special gl indicator field is available for input but wont allow to use it and stops us with the error as shown in the below screenshot.

SAP two APPS related to Reprocess Bank Statement Items as below in the snippet

.

My requirement is to post with Special GL indicator A for the incoming payment. This is doable in GUI with tcode - FEB_BSPROC.

1. But in APP the special gl posting cannot be done.

2. In the APPthere is an option available for special gl indicator as shown in the below screen but it will not allow us to post.

Below is the error message.

Points will be provided for the helpful answer.

Thanks.

Regards,

Dear Bohdan,

I have explored little further and tested various ways to see a possibility in posting a down payment through Fiori app - Reprocess bank statement items - FEB_BSPROC. It allowed even.

We need to enter spl gl account as the credit entry but when we click on save it errors with the standed error saying can't be posted directly to Recon account. Then i changed the posting key, entered customer account and spl gl indicator with which it allowed me to post.

Still this is not the right way of doing and will have to check with SAP.

Thanks.

Hi vishnurallabandi,

Sorry, did not see your comment in time. Please take a look at two of my latest this and this. They are not per se about the specifics around the posting of down-payments, but provide a lot of details on the process and shed some light on the configuration of the posting rule that should be used for customer down-payment.

Hi vishnurallabandi,

As it looks, special GL transactions are not yet fully supported in Fiori. In particular, when we speak about posting of down-payments, you can check OSS-note 3113965, which essentially says that "special G/L transactions of type A can be used only in combination with a down payment request". Sadly, but this is another point, where the "cloud first & only" Fiori-approach does not support even basic scenarios, which are working perfectly fine in GUI for decades.

When we speak about the potential solution, I'd suggest to consider the enhancement via BADI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA. Within this enhancements spot, you will need to identify the customer (based on bank details, reference details or any other information that is available in the note to payee). Once the customer is know, you should check what is the balance of the outstanding open items for the customer. If there are no open items, it means that it is a down-payment. In that case, you'll need to adjust the posting rule by changing the value in C_FEBEP-VGINT. Posting rule for down-payments should be defined in OT83. This way, the down-payment will be identified and posted during the initial upload i.e. before it comes to the post-processing in Fiori App.

If you necessarily have to process down-payments in post-processing mode, you can do it be switching from the Fiori App "Reprocess Bank Statement Items" to a GUI transaction FEB_BSPROC (or FEBAN).

P.S. For customer down payment you'll also need to mark the flag "Calculate taxes" and provide a tax code. For that you can use the fields FNAM* / FVAL*.
