Interpretation Algorithms

Interpretation algorithms are used to identify open items that you wish to clear after receiving
a bank statement. To do that, they use data which is on the bank statement to compare them
with the open items in the system. In most cases, the interpretation algorithms analyze and
interpret data from the note to payee of the bank statement items. Here you can see a list of
some interpretation algorithms and an explanation to how they function.

Use
The following are some of the interpretation algorithms available:

 000 (No interpretation)

You use this algorithm if you do not want to use the standard algorithms supplied by
SAP. Instead, you use the algorithms you have defined yourself, in conjunction with
functional enhancements (user exits).

 001 (Standard algorithm)

This algorithm interprets the values in the note to payee fields of the electronic bank
statement as either document numbers or reference document numbers. It checks
whether the values fall within the document or reference document number ranges
you entered when importing the bank statement. The system only tries to find the
items to be cleared in the system if this is the case.
