Account modification is important functionality given by SAP for EBS. It helps to map different GLs
for the single external business transaction and posting rule. There are very less documents
available on account modification topic in public forum.

In this scenario, NCMI is the BTC for incoming receipt. Client has two bank account numbers in HDFC
bank. Now client wants to post in main bank account and sub bank account GL for one bank account
and in different main bank account and sub bank account for another bank account number. Please
note that since both the bank account numbers are in HDFC, bank statement format is same. NCMI
is for incoming payment in both the bank account numbers bank statement.

Related Important Configuration Steps: -

1. House Bank Configuration T-CODE-FI12

We have created one house bank (HDFC) and two account IDs. Account ID HDFI is for 12345678910
bank account number and account ID HFCC is for 00123456789 bank account number.

2. Assign account symbol to GL number -T-CODE-OT83

This is one of the EBS configuration step. In this we have mapped GL- 107012 with account
modification HDCC and GL-107013 with account modification HDFI. This account
modification can be any random identification alphanumeric code. If system does not fulfil
account modification criteria (which will cover in search string) then it will go to GL ending
with +++++++++4 for incoming bank sub-GL.

3. Define Posting Rule-T-CODE-OT83

We are debiting main bank GL and crediting incoming bank sub-GL under posting area 1 and
posting rule 1000.

4. Assign external transaction type to posting rule-T-CODE-OT83

NCMI is the external business transaction being used for incoming receipt.

5. Configuration of Search String -T-CODE-OTPM

5.1 Define search string definition
We need to find out fixed information in the bank statement in tag 86 in both the bank
account numbers statement. We get 11-digit bank account numbers in the tag 86.
Therefore, search string is 11 times hash which is dynamic.

5.2 Usage of Search String

Our external business transaction is NCMI for incoming receipt, target field is account modification
EBKMOD and Mapping prefix is HDFI and HDCC which is given in step 2 assign account number to
account symbol.

6. Upload Bank statement number – T-CODE – FF_5

Below is the bank statement for the bank account number 12345678910. Below highlighted is the
common bank account number is populated in tag 86.
