3745593 - Multiple occurrences of the same ACCOUNTSERVICERREFERENCE

Upload of CAMT.053.001.08 bank statement fails with error: "Multiple occurrences of the same ACCOUNTSERVICERREFERENCE. (Message no. FAR_BTD031)".

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Upload a CAMT.053.001.08 file in Manage Incoming Payment Files app which multiple transactions share the same .
2. Observe that the upload fails with message FAR_BTD031 about multiple occurrences of ACCOUNTSERVICERREFERENCE.

The system enforces uniqueness of the Account Servicer Reference to prevent duplicate postings; duplicate values within a file cause the FAR_BTD031 error.

1. Although the ISO 20022 format allows the AcctSvcrRef field to be optional and not strictly unique, SAP enforces a uniqueness check on this field. This is done to prevent duplicate postings, as the system uses the Account Servicer Reference to identify whether a transaction has already been processed.
2. According to SAP guidelines (aligned with CGI recommendations):
   • The AcctSvcrRef should be unique per transaction, or
   • It should be left empty if uniqueness cannot be guaranteed
3. When multiple transactions in the file contain the same value, the system cannot reliably distinguish between valid entries and duplicates, and therefore blocks the upload with the above error.
4. Ask the bank to provide a unique per transaction in CAMT.053.001.08 files; if uniqueness cannot be ensured, leave empty.
5. After correction, reverse any previously imported statements affected by duplicates and re-upload the corrected file.
