Relation between bank number / SWIFT

49 Views

Hi all,

we uploaded German bank data (provided by German Federal Bank) using BAUP.

It seems, there is (sometimes) a 1:n relation between bank number and SWIFT. Example:

Bank number | Bank name | SWIFT

10020890 | HypoVereinsbank Berlin | HYVEDEMM488

10020890 | HypoVereinsbank Brandenburg | HYVEDEMM161

10020890 | HypoVereinsbank Kleinmachno | HYVEDEMM124

As we use the bank numbers as bank key in SAP, we can only create a 1:1 relation between bank number and SWIFT, i.e. only the first record (example above) is created as bank in SAP.

In case a supplier sends an invoice with bank number = 10020890 and SWIFT = HYVEDEMM124, we cannot create the supplier master record correctly, as bank 10020890 was created using SWIFT HYVEDEMM488 in SAP. A bank with SWIFT = HYVEDEMM124 does not exist in our SAP.

So, what can we do? Create the supplier master record with the correct bank key/number and accept the "wrong" SWIFT. Transferred money will arrive correctly anyway, I guess?

Thank you for any help.

Michael
