Missing posting rules in FEB_BSPROC

This blog post describes a workaround that will be useful for those actively working with bank statement processing in SAP. This workaround deals with a known problem for which SAP issued a KBA OSS-note 2210038 – “FEB_BSPROC – Posting rules missing in F4 help”. Unfortunately, the KBA does not provide any recommendations or workarounds. That’s what I’m trying to address in this post.

Let’s start. The problem is very simple. When the user processes items in the bank statement via transaction FEB_BSPROC (i.e., newer version of the transaction FEBAN) and tries to adjust the posting rule for an item, he/she can see only a limited number of posting rules. Screenshot below shows that only 9 posting rules are available in the list:

Processing of Prepayments with SAP S/4HANA Accruals Management

For sure you have already heard about the SAP S/4HANA Accruals Management?

Starting with S4 HANA OP 2021, the Accrual Management provides a new functionality to process deferrals. So far, the processing of prepayments is a typical and manual activity for the Finance users. With this new functionality Finance can achieve efficiency gains and it’s quite easy to implement as well. And you can also use the deferrals’ part even if you didn’t implement the accruals’ part yet.

In this blog I will show you how to set up the SAP S/4HANA Accruals Management for deferrals in order to optimize this process.

How to find-out an IDOC number when we know a specific value(Purchase order) to search.

Issue statement: When we have a very high volume of IDOCs in the system, it is difficult to find a specific IDOC number for the key value. i.e purchase order, clearing document, sales order, or any key data for which IDOC is created. This can be an inbound or outbound IDOC number.

Please follow the below steps to identify an IDOC number without spending a lot of time in analysis. I am taking an example of IDOC for the purchase order creation scenario and in the SAP S4 HANA system.

Step 1: Find a key value for which you want to find an IDOC number. In my example, I am searching for an IDOC number for the purchase order created as I know my specific purchase order number, which means when a purchase order is created an IDOC will be generated. DOC requirement depends on the business case and I am not going into the business case for this POC.
