3805358 - "Sequences interrupted for statement & &" error when uploading MT940 bank statement – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Import Electronic Bank Statement file of MT940 format fails with error: "Sequences interrupted for statement & &".

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Upload a bank statement file in MT940 format via apps Manage Bank Statements or Manage Incoming Payments Files from Banks.
2. Observe that the upload fails with a sequence error.

1. MT940 file contains colons ":" in the beginning of a note to payee line (record 86). The file format does not allow colons within the note to payee, because colons are used as field indicator.
2. The 60M and 62M tags are used in the statement file under different statements with different statement number (28C tag value).

1. Correct the file and remove the incorrect ":" from the note to payee.
2. The 62M tag in an MT940 file represents an Intermediate Closing Balance used in SAP Electronic Bank Statements (EBS) to break up a single day's activity into multiple parts. When there are statements which are divided by 62M and next statement which starts with 60M should have the same value in 28C tags.
