one vendor -2 company codes-different bank accounts

[Former Member]

Hi,

Bank accounts maintained in xk01 are not able to maintain different bank a/c for different company code. For example supplier ABC is used by both company code 1000 and 2000. When I maintain the bank account for supplier ABC in company code 2000 it will also impact the company code 1000 because they are sharing the same supplier code. The company code don't seem to be able to able maintain different bank account. Please check this out as to how to share the same supplier but maintain different bank account.

Thanks and Regards

The 2 previous answers are absolutely correct, but implies that you always need to manage manually the bank account that you want to "direct debit" at invoice level or/and at F110 proposal creation.

I had the same situation some time ago, and the only thing that I found was:

a- develop a custom functionality. I am not sure how because at the end I did not need that.

b- To configure the following:

b1 - OBVU check "Optimize by Bank Group" at payment method level

b2 - Create "Bank Group" for each Company Code

b3 - Go to FBZP, check what house bank do you have determinated to the payment method. Check what bank the house bank belongs to.

b4 - Go to FI02 and assign the bank of the House Bank that (for this Company Code and Payment Method) to the "Bank Group" that you have created before.

b5- Go to Customer Master Data and, depending on the customer account, assign each customer account to the "bank group" that you have created for each Company Code. I mean, assign the customer bank to the same group.

At the end you will have identified each customer bank account with a bank group that is linked too to the "house bank" where the invoices will be paid.

As we check for the Payment Method the option "Optimize by Bank Group" I think that in F110 the system will try to optimice the banks and will debit the invoice in the correct account for each company code.

I hadn't`t the time to test this solution deeply, but I think that It worked. The problem that I see if the same bank is used for several company code, then, the solution will not work I am afraid.

I hope this helps and... please reward points if it is helpful

Hi

You can maintain two bank accounts for two different company codes. When booking the invoice in MIRO, you have the option to choose the desired bank account so that payment will be made to that account.

Hi,

You can make use of Partner bank type (LFBK_BVTYP) in the Bank Data/Payment Transactions tab in General Data Segment of the Vendor Master. Please find below help:-

Partner bank type

Key you enter in the line item to specify which business partner's bank the system should use.

Procedure

In the business partner's master record:

If several bank accounts exist in a customer or vendor master record, you can assign different keys for these accounts.

In the item:

To use a particular bank of the business partner for the payment of an item, enter the appropriate key in the item. The payment program then pays the item via the business partner's predefined bank.

Rgds.
