Symptom

Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Upload or manually create bank statements.
- Ensure the Customer Reference Number or Check Number or First line of the Memo line contains the Assignment field of the Customer or Supplier invoices.
- Use Interpretation Algorithm 015 - Assignment Number or Processing Instruction 0080 - Assignment number to find the open item.
- Observe that bank statement lines are not automatically allocated.
Cause
- The system can only clear an item by means of the assignment number if it can locate the account to be cleared (from the bank data in the case of customers/suppliers or the posting rule in the case of G/L accounts).
- The partner bank data is not maintained in the Customer or Supplier master data.
Resolution
- To clear customer or Supplier open items based on assignment number, ensure the bank details are maintained in the Business Partner Master data in Maintain Business Partner or Manage Business Partner Master Data
- In the Maintain Business Partner app, maintain the bank details under the Payment Transactions section:
- In the Manage Business Partner Master Data app, maintain the bank details under the bank accounts section
- In the Maintain Business Partner app, maintain the bank details under the Payment Transactions section:
- If the bank details are not maintained in the business partner master data, then open items in the G/L Accounts based on the posting rule are considered.
- The system looks for the Customer Reference Number or Check Number field from the bank statement and uses the value in it as the assignment number.
- If the Customer Reference Number or Check Number fields are left empty, the system looks for the assignment number using the first line of the Memo Line field.
