Symptom
When importing a BAI bank statement file where row 03 does not contain the Opening Balance (010) record, the system displays an incorrect Opening Balance. The displayed value does not match the prior day's Closing Balance.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Import a BAI bank statement file where row 03 does not contain the Opening Balance (010) record.
- Open the Manage Bank Statements app.
- Observe that the Opening Balance displayed does not match the prior day's Closing Balance.
Cause
The BAI bank statement file does not contain the Opening Balance (010) record in the expected position within row 03. Since this record is missing from the file, the system cannot derive the Opening Balance correctly. The system does not automatically fall back to the prior day's Closing Balance, as this is not standard behavior.
Resolution
The Opening Balance must be provided within the BAI file itself. The recommended approach is to contact the bank and request a corrected file that includes the 010 record in the expected position within row 03.
