  The SAP error message 8B795 indicates that there is a mismatch between the bank file format you are trying to import and the format that has been selected in the system. This error typically occurs during the process of importing bank statements or payment files into the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Format Mismatch: The file you are trying to import does not match the expected format defined in the SAP system. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect file type (e.g., trying to import a CSV file when the system expects an MT940 format).
  The file structure does not conform to the specifications required by the selected format.
  The file may have been generated by a different system or bank that uses a different format.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in SAP for the bank file formats may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the file format.
  
  
  File Corruption: The file being imported may be corrupted or improperly formatted, leading to the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify File Format: Ensure that the file you are trying to import is in the correct format as expected by SAP. Check the file extension and the content structure.
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP for bank file formats (Transaction code: OBPM1 for bank statement formats).
  Ensure that the format you are trying to import is correctly configured and matches the specifications of the file you are using.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Import Method: Make sure you are using the correct transaction or method to import the file. For example, if you are importing a bank statement, use the appropriate transaction code (e.g., FF67 for manual import).
  
  
  Test with Sample Files: If possible, test the import with a sample file that is known to work. This can help determine if the issue is with the specific file you are trying to import.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your bank's specifications for the correct file format and structure.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP experts who can provide further assistance.
