3676718 - Upload of Subsequent Bank Statement Fails Due to Incorrect Closing Balance in CAMT.053 File

Symptom

The upload of a subsequent bank statement fails due to a mismatch between the closing balance of the previous statement and the opening balance of the new statement.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

  • The system derives the closing balance from the balance element with the qualifier CLBD in the incoming CAMT.053 file.
  • If multiple balance elements with the same qualifier (CLBD) exist in the file, it does not comply with the CAMT.053 CGI specification, which allows only one balance per type.
    This may lead to the system interpreting an incorrect closing balance, resulting in a mismatch during the next statement upload.

Resolution

  1. Reverse the existing bank statement in the system.
  2. Correct the closing balance in the CAMT.053 file to ensure it matches the opening balance of the subsequent statement.
  3. Re-upload the corrected CAMT.053 file with the appropriate closing balance.
  4. Ensure that only one CLBD tag is included per statement to align with the CGI specification.
  5. If a different balance field needs to be used as the closing balance, modify the mapping through the "Map Format Data for Incoming Files from Bank" app to point to the desired XML element or amount field.

Additional Information:
According to the CAMT.053 CGI specification, only one balance per type (for example, CLBD) is allowed in the statement file.
