• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTCM003 - Intraday advice creation supported only with format BAI / MT942 ?

  The SAP error message FTCM003 indicates that the intraday advice creation is only supported with specific formats, namely BAI (Bank Administration Institute) and MT942 (a specific SWIFT message type used for intraday reporting). This error typically arises in the context of cash management or bank communication within SAP systems when attempting to process bank statements or intraday advice in an unsupported format.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Format: The error occurs when the system receives a bank statement or advice in a format other than BAI or MT942. This could be due to the bank sending the statement in a different format (e.g., CSV, XML, etc.) that SAP does not recognize for intraday processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not aligned with the expected formats for intraday advice.
  Data Mapping Issues: If the data mapping for the incoming bank statement is not set up correctly, it may lead to the system not recognizing the format.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Incoming Format: Verify the format of the bank statement or advice being received. Ensure that it is either in BAI or MT942 format. If it is not, you may need to request the bank to send the data in the correct format.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in SAP for bank communication. Ensure that the formats for intraday advice are correctly set up in the system. This can typically be done in the transaction code OBPM1 (for bank statement configuration) or FBZP (for payment program configuration).
  Data Mapping: If you are using custom formats or mappings, ensure that the mapping is correctly defined in the system. You may need to adjust the mapping to accommodate the incoming data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to configure and handle bank statements and intraday advice.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct tests to ensure that the system can now process the intraday advice without errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling bank statement formats.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FF_5 (for uploading bank statements) and FF_6 (for processing bank statements).
  Bank Communication Management: If you are using SAP Bank Communication Management (BCM), ensure that the settings for bank communication are correctly configured to handle the expected formats.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP financials and bank communication.
