One Bank account for Multiple company codes

[Former Member]

Hello, Is it posible to have one Bank account assigned to mulitiple company codes ??

isn't it be a problem when we do BAI reconciliation.

Becuase all we get from bank is bank account number and transactions, and how reconciliation works in this situation if we had mulitiple company codes assigned to same bank account number.

Can you please suggest me, if this is possible at all.(assigned to mulitiple company codes).

Thankyou.

When a BAI file is imported into SAP, the import program (FF.5) uses the house bank and account ID tables (T012 and T012K) to determine the company code for each bank account in the statement file. If the same bank account (routing number and account number) are assigned to 2 different company codes, the program is not able to determine a unique company code for the statement. It will give an error and it will not import the file.

Hi,

Kindly note that a bank account gets created against a particular company code only. Legally one bank account is assigned to one company code only.

My client has a scenario where paymens made for company codes x, y, z are actually being processed out of a bank account in company code "a". Therefore in order to record payments in company code x, y, z through the system, we've set up the same accounts in all these company codes. We process payments out these individual company codes, but when the bank feed comes back it only applies to company code "a" and you accomplish it by defining one real account in company code "a" and then setting up identical accounts in companies x, y, z but defining them as Alternative account numbers (T012K- BNKN2).

Sounds like the above scenario could be the similiar.

Hi. For bank statement configuration you can only assign one bank account to one company code as mentioned by Akhil. The scenario you've described above is a pay-on-behalf process. If your payments are through AP, you create the bank account in the true legal entity and then when you configure the Company Codes (x,y, and z) in F110 payment program, then you set the Paying Company Code to be entity A. You don't need to configure the bank account in company codes x, y and z. When you run the AP payments, the system will know to check company A for the banking details. You will also be establishing an intercompany relationship with this so you would need OBYA setup as well. However, if you are trying to process payment requests, I do not think that the program adheres to this piece of config. It'll try to find the bank account in the respective company code's config. So sometimes in-house cash is implemented to this. hope that helps a bit.

If you only want to use one account and upload statements into one company code, you can define same bank accounts in other entities as Alternative bank accounts (T012K- BNKN2). In this case upload program will no to only upload the statement to one entity where you dont have this account set to be an alternative bank account
