Dear:

Instruction key displays the instruction key for data medium exchange. If you assign the instruction key in vendor master data along with payment method then in APP system prompts you for instruction key.

Hi,

The regular process is to allow this change. In FK03, Inside tab: Change Vendor - Payment transaction - You can assign IK. If you can't then you have to check you user authorization.

Hi

Thanks for your reply!

We are able to make necessary changes in vendor master.

In our case it was deleted, but we could not see any change history of the same.

THanks

Yes, it must display changes. If you change IK in Vendor Master data you can see that by FK04. If you can't do that contact SAP.

Hi,

IK define information to Bank by EDI. Each one of EDI report has a aplication for IK. You can define it by OB47.

You can assign this key in Home Bank definition (FI12) or Mater Data for Bank Accounts Payment. Check if you have assigned correctly and save.
