3779724 - Error "You can only assign one check to an individual bank statement item" during bank statement posting - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

An error occurs during bank statement processing. Error message: "You can only assign one check to an individual bank statement item."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Bank Statements app.
  2. Attempt to post the bank statement (BRS).
  3. Observe the error: "You can only assign one check to an individual bank statement item."

Cause

By design, a bank statement item can confirm only one check. There is a one-to-one relationship between a check and the bank statement item. Assigning multiple checks to a single bank statement item is not supported.

Resolution

In the Manage Outgoing Checks app, select the relevant checks and cash them manually. After en-cashing the checks, in the Reprocessing Bank Statement Item app the payment document number can now be cleared against bank statement.
