Creating Bank Statement Reprocessing Rules in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

In this SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud demo, we demonstrate how to use reprocessing rules for bank statements to automate the posting process.

Reprocessing rules are essential for posting bank statement items that the system cannot post directly. Leveraging intelligent technology, the system analyzes past data to create these rules. In our example, the system will generate rules directly from the bank statement using an algorithmic approach.

These are the following steps to create a bank statement reprocessing rule in SAP S4HANA:

1. Navigate to Manage Bank Statement to upload the bank statement
2. Select the previous statement to set the opening balance and import the file, which includes several lines
3. The system recognizes these lines as bank statement items
4. After introducing the closing balance, finalize and post the bank statement
5. With the bank statement items now in the system, proceed to Reprocess the Bank Statement Item to create a rule
6. Select the relevant item and click on Create Rule. The system automatically records conditions such as an amount range, for example, between $100 and $1,000, and labels the rule, say, as "Bank Charges."
7. Specify the general ledger account where the amount should be posted whenever the rule applies
8. Once the rule is created, incorporating all conditions from the bank statement and past data, set it to apply automatically whenever the conditions match
9. Returning to the bank statement items, apply the newly created automatic rule to all relevant items.
10. The system processes these items according to the rule, ensuring all postings are correctly executed based on the reprocessing rule generated from the bank statement.

This automation streamlines bank statement management, reducing manual intervention and enhancing efficiency in financial operations within SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
