Afaik "excels" is not a valid value for dbms, try "excelcs" instead. If that doesn't work, please post full log.

Use the better (built-in, platform-independent) XLSX engine:

%let glb_path="/sas/dev/data/groups/bpr/rep/input/finance";

proc import
  out=MSSF9_17
  datafile="&glb_path./odpisy_mssf9_20171231_BO_v4_20180212.xlsx"
  dbms=xlsx
  replace
;
sheet="BO"; 
run;
