Does anybody know if changing the setting on 'Country Specific Checks' will cause any problems? (IMG > SAP NetWeaver > General Settings > Set CountriesSet Countries > Set Countries)
We are working with our bank to have them process all of our vendor payments, by sending the bank all the payment information in an IDOC file. In order to do this, I need to set up all the relevant bank information for each vendor. But I am running into issues with certain countries where the standard SAP setting for the country does not work for us.
For example:
Country Specific Checks for Japan specifies:
Bank key = Bank Number
Bank Account number length = 7 maximum value.
We do not have the bank number for the vendor bank in Japan and our bank is not requiring an International Bank Number for Japan. So, if I change the above setting to Bank Key = Assign externally, for example, will this cause any problems anywhere else? I'm thinking of assigning the SWIFT code as the bank key for this bank.
Also, the Japanese bank account number that we have is 10 digit long and the SAP specification has 7. Can we change this value to 10?
Any advice is appreciated.
regards,
Lanny
