Where and how can the "bank control key" be mapped within a pain.001 XML file?

[jochem_schueltke]

Dear all,

an SAP customer in Switzerland wants to utilize pain.001 XML payment media files to initiate credit transfers to foreign bank accounts (outside the SEPA area) in countries like U.S.A., Argentina, Venzuela, Japan and others.

Within the relevant bank details, which belong to SAP Business Partner master data, a specific 'bank control key' is persisted (table BUT0BK, field BKONT).

Where and how can this 'bank control key' be mapped within a pain.001 XML file, which might be a supplement within the "Creditor Account" <CdtrAcct> tag?

To which pain extension tree it belongs, please? Or does it need to be concatenated to the bank account number as a suffix?

Thanks in advance for your hints.Kind regards,Jochem

According to the answer of the ISO 20022 Organization, the bank control key is seen as a kind of account type. Therefore, the use of the 'Type/Proprietary' (which is a text element) is recommended:

Many thanks kscharaf for your proposal.

Since the 'bank control key' is a two digit supplement to the creditor's bank account number, I guess I have to investigate a bit more. In parallel, I asked this question to the ISO 20022 standards organization. Let's see.

Additionally I doubt, whether the 'bank control key' is still needed for all countries that are mentioned within the SAP application help.

Best regards, Jochem

Dear Jochem,

I am by no means an expert so I am just throwing in an idea for discussion. My guess is that the bank control key would need to be provided in the following position of the XML tree since this sounds like a payment type 6 (SWIFT payment in any currency):

Credit Transfer Transaction Information

+Creditor Agent

++Financial Institution Identification

+++BIC

There are additional fields that might be necessary (see the subsequent pages of the Swiss Implementation Guidelines)

Good luck with this ! 🙂
