3643895 - "Create Next" button in Manage Bank Statements app after release 2508

Functionality of "Create Next" button in Manage Bank Statements App has slightly changed since release 2508.

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition

1. Open app Manage Bank Statements.
2. Filter for Company Code, House Bank and House Bank Account.
3. Select Latest Statement.
4. With 'Create Next' button create your bank statement.

New functionality since release 2508.

With the 'Create Next' button, you can create bank statements more easily and faster. Until now, the button helped you create another bank statement manually by taking information from the bank statement with the highest bank statement number in your system. However, this functionality has changed slightly: From now on, whenever you select a bank statement and then select the Create Next button, the system creates the draft of a bank statement with the same header information as the one that you had selected (such as the house bank account, payment transaction type group, company code and so on) and it assigns the next available bank statement number to the draft. 

Case example:

The bank statement numbers are 1, 2, 4, and 5. The bank statement with the number 5 is the latest bank statement from that house bank account, and the bank statement with the number 3 is missing, which means there's a gap in the sequence of the bank statements. If you select the bank statement with the number 4 and then select the Create Next button, the system checks whether a bank statement with the number 5 exists. In this example case, it does. Therefore, the system proceeds to check whether a bank statement with the number 6 exists. It does not. So 6 is the next available bank statement number. As a consequence, the system creates the draft of a bank statement with the same header information as the one selected and assigns the bank statement number 6 to it because 6 is the next available bank statement that is currently missing in this sequence. If you select the bank statement with the number 1 and then select the Create Next button, the system checks whether a bank statement with the number 2 exists. In this example case, it does. Therefore, the system proceeds to check whether a bank statement with the number 3 exists. It does not. As a consequence, the system creates the draft of a bank statement with the same header information as the one selected and assigns the bank statement number 3 to it because 3 is the next available bank statement that is currently missing in this sequence. 

That means, the system does not directly create a bank statement with the highest possible bank statement number of the sequence, which was the functionality until the current release. Instead, now, you can use the Create Next button to close gaps in your bank statement sequence because the system looks for the next available bank statement number starting from the number of the bank statement that you select.
