Hi Sophie,
For the account masking stated below, this will work since the system will identify the last digits which are unique to the preceding digits in the particular GL account/sub-account. But since you are new, I will suggest that you go rather with writing the entire GL/sub-account right justified. This will make your life easier until you have a full grasp of the process. Your GLs are only 6 digits so it should be easy to configure your account symbols as 193113, 193513 etc.
Yes, for payment config the sub-accounts are identified because the account ID and House bank are linked to it. To process the subsequent EBS, the sub-account is identified because the payment document posted earlier and sent by the bank is identified in BSEG. It then goes to the EBS config to find the appropriate account symbol linked to the posting rule definition. This process can have numerous variations and can even be complex. Read the following link carefully: well documented and will help you.

Please try this in your sandbox: post a payment and then manipulate a sample bank statement and see how it works. You can also generate a sample statement in the system if you don't have a statement from the bank. Please let me know if you need guidance on how to generate a bank statement for testing.

Many thanks Dammah for your patiently replies, I appreciate your help.
If I mask as follows, please help to see if this could be ok?
Bank Acc. 1931xx, masking: 1931
Bank sub-acc. 1935xx, masking: 1935
Bank Acc. 1932xx, masking: 1932
Bank sub-acc. 1936xx, masking: 1936
Bank Acc. 1933xx, masking: 1933
Bank sub-acc. 1937xx, masking: 1937
Bank Acc. 1934xx, masking: 1934
Bank sub-acc. 1938xx, masking: 1938
When the system post Dr.Bank sub-acc, Cr.Bank account, I can understand how the system know which Bank account should be posted for certain House Bank Account ID because the G/L are set in the Account ID.
I do not quite understand how the system know which Bank sub-acc should be posted for the corresponding Bank Account.
For example, if the system post Bank account 193113, how the system know the corresponding Bank sub-acc should be 193513 but not 193514 or 193615 or 193718.....
The only specification of Bank sub-acc for a specific Account ID are set in the Automatic payment->Set up Bank determination for payment transaction->Bank accounts, I'm assuming the system find the corresponding Bank sub-account from here, but I'm not sure.
Please feel free to correct me.
thanks and best regards
Sophie
