Hi All,

Pls let me know how to maintain Bank Account of Vendor in Vendor Master. I checked it in OY17 that we can input only 18 digits.

Thanks

Hi,

It depends from the country.

For european countries, there is a long bank account number called "IBAN" and you should use the IBAN functionality for implementing such accounts. There are a lot of notes about IBAN.

For other countries like China, the bank account number has to be splitted into 2 parts; the second part has to be stored in "BKREF" field (LFBK-BKREF).

Please mention the country for a more precise answer.

Hello,

It is system designed that the length of Bank account number LFBK-BANKN is only with 18 characters.

If you require more than 18 to enter your bank account, there are 2 workarounds:

1.Inout firts 18 digits in field "Bank accoun" and input the remaining digits in field "reference details"

2.Input firts digits in field "Bank key" and input the remaining digits in field "Bank account"

See article  2217044 - How to enter the bank account number more than 18 digits

Hi Rakesh,

I need your suggestion-we have same situation where vendor's bank country is Russia and its bank account number is 20 digits. We are using ECC 6. Could you suggest if note 96624 applies to ecc 6 too? I was unable find about note 1585003. If possible could you suggest what is in note 1585003.

Thank you

Hi Godavari.

Yes, standard SAP settings is 18 digit and if you refer to SAP Note:1585003 it provides the solution by splitting the account number using another available fields in the master data, beside of the field account number to various countries.

Note:1585003 suggested that the remaining characters of a long account number the following fields are used additionally:

1. Control Key (BKONT) with the length of 2 characters
2. Reference (BKREF) with the length of 20 characters
3. Bank Number (BNKLZ) with the length of 15 characters

System will then concatenate the parts of the account number again, if account number has to be represented in the full length, for instance in a DME (Data Media Exchange) payment file.
