Description
Program &REPORT& processes Finnish bank statements that containspecifications on reference payments from customers or bankcollections. This format is used by the Merita Bank, for example.
The program reads the input data either from a PC or the file systemand then generates two files in MultiCash format. The bankstatement file that is generated contains information on thestatements (statement number, previous balance, current balance,currency, bank account number...) while the item file containsthe individual transactions that were detailed on the statement. Youshould use the standard program &MULTIC_REP& to import the generatedMultiCash files. You can find more information in the programdocumentation.

Allocating banks to transaction types
You can define transaction types to which you then allocate bankaccounts according to the external transaction involved. If you usethis option, you must allocate a transaction type to every house bankaccount that you use. By grouping accounts in this way you reduce theamount of entries in the "Allocation of external to internaltransactions" table.
House banks and house bank accounts
A bank account may only be defined in a single company code. You mustspecify the currency of each bank account since certain banks keeptheir account numbers all the same and they can only be distinguishedapart by their currency. You must also define the G/L account to postto for each bank account.
Generating MultiCash Files
MultiCash files cannot be generated in the following cases:

• The bank account number on the data medium is not clear.


• The calculated totals for all the fields do not match the actual
totals from all the fields in the file.

• Simulated postings reveal that the configuration settings have not been
made in full. The default settings for the simulated postings generatea list of the transactions that need to be maintained and instructionsconcerning what exactly to maintain.
Bank collections/adjustments not made
If data records are flagged as 'rejected' or 'adjusted' by the bank,they are not included in the MultiCash files, but are output in aseparate error list, which you can use to manually process them.
Posting currency
The currency of the postings to be made on the basis of a bankstatement is defined as follows: if a currency code has been maintainedfor the house bank account (field T012K-WAERS), then this code isspecifed as the currency for the postings from that statement. In allother cases the ISO code for Finnish marks ('FIM') is used as thetransaction currency.

Calling up MultiCash program &MULTIC_REP&
After converting the input data, use the MultiCash program &MULTIC_REP&to process the data in the system. You should maintain a variant forthis purpose, the name for which must then be entered in the selectionscreen.
The following parameters are automatically filled with the currentvalues when program &MULTIC_REP& is called up (for this reason you mustnot maintain these parameters when defining the variant):


• Statement file


• Item file


• Format 'M'


• PC upload
