Bank Account field in Vendor Master Data

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Anyone of you might have faced this kind of problem.

The field for bank account in vendor bank details provides only 18 digits.

We have a couple of Polish and Russian vendors which have 20 digits in the bank account and because SAP cuts off the first 2 digits payments cannot be made.

Will it be possible to extend the number of digits in the bank account field? If yes,

can anyone let me know how it can me done.

Thanks

The situations where REGUH-ZBNKN (bank account number) is longer than 18 digits. in this case the bank account number continues on field REGUH-BKREF (reference).

You have to implement OSS#96624 to solve this problem

Symptom

This note refers to business partner bank account numbers with more than 18 digits.

Banks of certain countries use bank account numbers with more than 18 digits. Consequently, these bank account numbers cannot be stored completely in the bank account number field of the R/3 System, but are to be used for the payment transactions with the bank in the data medium exchange (DME).

Solution

Depending on the country of the bank of the business partner, we recommend that you enter that part of the account number which does not fit into the respective 'Bank account number' input field in the 'Reference specifications for bank details' field or in the 'Bank control key' field of the customer or vendor master data.

We recommend that you use the fields in the R/3 System as follows:

China- Various account number formats, some have more than 18 digits

- Save the first 18 digits in the 'Bank account number' field

- If the Chinese bank account number is longer than 18 digits, the

remaining digits are saved in the 'Reference specifications for bank

details' field.
