Bank key vs Electronic Bank Statement

Hello,
What is recommended by SAP is to have bank key for house bank the same as SWIFT code. I have case now that bank from Turkey has TGBATRIS Swift code and the same i use as bank key. But when they have sent bank statement and i import it using FF.5 it looks like in field 25: (where the bank account is delivered) they provide this data ':25:277/6296649'. So 277 is bank ID and after slash / we have bank account ID. Problem is that error comes up when i have bank key TGBATRIS as no bank account 6296649 is found for bank key 277. So it looks SAP is recognizing first part 277 as bank key that should be customized.
Is there any way to use bank key as SWIFT and not asking bank to change bank statement format of field :25: ?
Thanks for info.

Look if you can get in the house bank this information in the field Alternative Bank Acct Number
If you have house bank accounts with identical account numbers and use the electronic account statement for these accounts, then you enter the internal key used by your house bank here (usually the account number with attached currency encryption). If you use the manual account statement, then you can freely assign the alternative account number. Using bank account number + currency code is, however, recommended

What is bank key in house bank configuration

hi
what is bank key in house bank configuration. is bank key same as our bank routing number.
thanks,
monica

Hi,
You specify the bank key under which bank data from the respective country is stored.
Basically, your banks are managed by using their bank numbers. The bank number and the bank key are almost same for the house bank.
Like you said, you may define a 9 digit number that serves as a routing number too.
Hope it clears your doubt.
Assign points if helpful.

Bank keys and house bank creation

Hi
My company have 9 branches all over India. HO of my organization is in Bombay.
Now every branch have bank account in respective city. 5 are Current account and 5 are Cash Credit account. But all these bank accounts are in one bank only say Bank ABC...
So how many bank key and house bank should be created? I am confused. I tried reading documentation on bank key and housebank, but my confusion is still there.

Hi,
The number of house banks depends on the branches of the bank.
You need to open a separate house bank for each bank's branch. For this, create a bank key for the bank branch in FI01 and then assign this bank key into the house bank in FI12 (Or directly create the bank key in Fi12 also)
Then within this bank's branch, if you hold more than one account then create seperate account ID for each account in that house bank.
Separate house bank for each branch helps in the faster processing of bank interfaces for payment and receipt, because then it will use the correct SWIFT code etc for that branch assigned to bank key in house bank.

Bank Key field in Bank details

Dear Consultants,
I wish to make Bank Key field in Bank Details infotype (0009) as Optional. I changed setting in SPRO > PM > PA > Customizing User Interfaces > Change Screen Modifications. I selected Module Pool = MP000900, Screen = 2000, Feature = P0009, Alt Screen = 2000. I selected OF (Optional Field) & saved.
Still while entering data, system asks for Bank Key as mandetory field.
Any solution?
Regards
Bindumadhav

Can u tel me the actual requirement ?!!!
Y do u want to make it Optional ??
By standard, it is mandatory only when Payment type is Transfer/Cheque....
Then Bank Key is obvious...isnt it....
Otherwise, on which bank, the cheque has to be prepared... hw do u come to know ?
My suggestion, dont change it!!!

Hi
I implemented the EBS in my company 4 month ago and here are some advises on the problems i experienced in the setup process. As for the setup process it is straightforward just read the manual at help.sap.com.
We used the MT940 format for importing bank statements from our bank.
The first thing i would advice you to do is make a list of all the possible transactions that are to be handled by the EBS application.
Then make estimation of how many payments that are recieved in constant structured way which the EBS can handle. (invoice number in the text)
The people in our accounting department complained alot about the output format in the EBS not being userfreindly compared to the advises they recieved in e-mail form from the bank so if not the bulk of your payments can be processed automatically it might not be worth the trouble to implement it. (i still think they uses the the email to postprocess the transactions that was not automatically cleraed)
Make sure you havent got any other applications handling some of the transactions that are contained in the bank statement because this wont work. eg. we had a program automatically placing fx trades on customer and bank account which meant that when we recieved the fx trade on the statement it was already placed and therefore had to be placed on a interims account for later reversal.
We get alot of bankcharges on our payments and we set up the EBS to place them automatically on a bankcharge account if the difference between the recieved amount on the invoice was less that 30 dollars.(we just assume that a difference is a bank charge) This means that a customer if he wants to always can pay x dollars under the invoice amount because it will be automatically processed and therefore go unnoticed.
Establish a contact in your bank who knows how their MT940 format has been structured.
Then contact your bank and get them to provide some test statements of old bank statements.
Make sure that you are not the first customer for using the MT940 format or else you will end up being ginny pig for the banks possible mistakes.
As i learned the way banks interpret the MT940 format guidelines can varry quite alot eg. the ocmt field our bank interpreted as the original payed amount in its original currency. SAP inprets this field as the recieved amount in its original currency and therefore it always try to clear the OCMT amount if availleble which meant it always tried to clear the original amount even though there had been taken som bankcharges underways.
I also found out that our bank didnt really bother to specify the type of transaction (interest, fx contract, bank charges, check and so on) which meant we only had two external transaction codes availleble s103 for incomming payments and ntrf for outgoing payments. This gave alot of trouble as i had to identify the type of transaction through seach algorithms.
Our bank also had trouble creating the MT940 file because it has a limited number of characters availleble which meant in the initial file that it only gave the first x characters of each line and then left out the rest. This meant that the text was broken into alot of pieces and you hardly ever had a complete invoice number to clear on. We had the bank altering their format so they now leave out text at the end of the transaction instead.
In the implementation process we experienced that the EBS application created a payment advice each time the amount of the payment didnt match the invoice in the system. We implemented a note from service.sap which disabled this and just assigned the difference to a bankcharge account.
I dont know if you can use these advices but just felt i would try to warn you about the potential problems that i experienced in the process. .
If you have concrete questions to the EBS setup feel free to contact me and i will see if i can help you.

EBS Program RFEBKA00 Bank KEy in House Bank is diff.from ABA in BAI file

REceiveing an error that the bank key and account number not found in table T012, T012k.
The HB was created using one ABA as the Bank Key, the ABA necessary for proper u201Cchecku201D creation.
In the HB config, we set the Bank Receiving DME with the ABA needed for the ACH file, which is different from the Check ABA.
I searched everywhere, and found only one viable solution: create a pre-processor to change the ABA in the file to be the one that will match the entries on table T012 and T012k.
I tried putting data in the Alternative Account number with the ABA and the Account number, but it didnu2019t resolve the issue.
Any suggestions?

Hi Kath,
Having one Bank account using 2 different ABA should not be a problem technically, if you are creating 2 different house banks for the 2 ABAs.
My question is if the ABA number entered in the field "Bank Receiving the Data Medium" is actually responsible for Paying the
ACHs, then this field is not the right place to enter ABA. You must create a new house bank with the ABA number and may be the same account number for ACH, and leave this field "Bank Receiving the Data Medium" empty. And please complete the rest of the Payment run config for this New house Bank i.e. Bank Determination.
If you still have issues, please check if the account number provided by the Bank in the Bank Statement doesn't have a leading zero or prefix before the actual bank account. If there are leading zeros, then please change the account number accordingly in the House Bank and EBS config. Or if there is a prefix, which is sometimes used for foreign payments coming out of the same Bank account. Then you can enter the same bank account number along with prefix in the Alternative Account number field
Thanks
Ron

Bank key and house bank

hi,
1) for bank ABC, it has many branhes through out the world. may i know if each country, this bank will have unique bank key regardless branches in this country?
say in china, it has 10 branches and all are using same bank key. correct?
2) house bank is by each branch. correct?
thanks

The bank key idnetifies uniquely the bank and the branch, otherwise the purpose of the bank key is defeated. So the bank key uniquely identify the bank and the branch in a country.

Electronic bank statement with CTX payment advice

Hi:
I'm trying to figure out how I can process an electronic bank statement that contains the payment advice embedded as a CTX addendum. I'm finding info how to issue an ACH and add the CTX addendi. But how can I process it when that info comes back from the bank on the electronic bank statement and I'm on the receiving end of that transaction?
Of course I'm looking to clear the corresponding customer open items along the provided payment advice info.
I do see an interpretation algorithm 032, which will look at a payment advice that has already been received prior to the bank statement. That's close, but not quite it.
Maybe the answer is 'functionality not available in SAP standard' and that will be just fine. I've got the list of all the various enhancement points for the process and if that's the route I need to take, I'll be on my merry enhancing way...
Any pointers highly welcome!
Thanks
Stephen

Hello,
From FF.5, if you are using interpretation algorithms 11, 12 or 13,
the check encashment date ( PAYR-BANCD ) will be updated in PAYR when
the check is neither voided nor cashed. The relevant code is as under
RFEBBU10. Source Code :
CASE FEBEP-INTAG.
      WHEN '000'.                 <- A when for every Int. Algorithm
      WHEN '011'.
            PERFORM SEARCH_CHECK_IN_PAYR.
FORM SEARCH_CHECK_IN_PAYR.
check is not voided nor cashed
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM BKPF WHERE BUKRS = FEBKO-BUKRS
                                AND BELNR = PAYR-VBLNR
                                AND GJAHR = PAYR-GJAHR.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      PAYR-XBANC = 'X'.
      PAYR-BANCD = FEBEP-VALUT.
So, the field PAYR-BANC is always updated with FEBEP-VALUT
(Value Date) and there is no standard way to avoid it.
If the check number in the statement is wrong, then the interpretation
algorithm could not update the encashment date. The interpretation
algorithm run only when the electronic bank statement is loaded
(hence only once) and not when FEBA is processed.
In FEBA (SAPMF40A), there is no further update in PAYR, and hence you
need to go to the Cheque Register and change the date manually in this case.
Check Note 115147 for further information.

REnan

Bank key during creation of house bank

Hi,
When we create a new house bank via FI12, we need to specify the bank key. The problem here is that the bank key is system generated. Usually for creation of house bank, we will create in development and transport to PROD. However, we have problem where the bank key in development is NOT the same as that in PROD.
Does anyone have this problem?
Thanks & rgds,
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
In our systems the bank key is not automatically generated by SAP. We have it setup so that we designate the bank key and since bank key is master data, we are able to create it manually in each of our systems or ALE it over to the systems that require the information. So we do not run into the issue you've described above.

Bank key and bank number

Dear experts,
What is the significance of maintaining bank key in vendor master? Can multiple bank codes/numbers be assigned against one bank key or do I have to create as many bank keys as there are bank codes/numbers?
What is the corelation between bank key and bank code or bank number?
Thanks in adv,
Vijaya

Hi
Bank Key used to identify the House Bank. Generally we manage banks using Bank Number.
The Bank Number is used as Bank Key
In case of absense of Bank Number, the transactions will be done using Bank Key
We can't maintain multiple bank numbers/bank keys
we maintain bank key in vendor master, it is mandatory in ecc6 to if you do automatic payment to vendors.

Bank Key field & importing

Hi,
I have a client trying to import BP data. The Bank Key field (BP Bank Account Setup window) auto-populates when you enter the information manually, but doesn't when you import. There is no field in the DTW template. Do you need to add it to the import file or can this field be left blank?
Thanks,
Heather

Dear Suda,
I think this is the problem: "Once you import, the Bankkey will automatically populate from your Banks definition." - It does not works.
I have the same problem, I have imported the banks through oBanks template and then I have imported only the BankCode and the BankAccounts to the BPBankAccounts template but it does not work.

I have sent the zip file.

What is bank key ?

I am trying to set up a new house bank for Sweden.What is bank key or bank number ? Is it any number I can put ? or specific number I have to ask from Bank ? It is asking a number of 04 length.
Thanks in advance
Satya

Hello read below
Points will be appreciated

Zaid Azam
In this field, you specify the bank key under which bank data from the respective country is stored.
When you define the country key, you also specify the country-specific definition of the bank key.
Normally, you manage banks using their bank number. The bank number in the control data for the bank is then displayed twice, that is, as the bank key too.
In certain countries, the bank account number takes on this function; then there are no bank numbers and the bank data is managed using the account number.
For data medium exchange, you may find it useful to be able to enter foreign business partners without a bank number, even if there are bank numbers in the country in question. In this case, the bank key can be assigned internally.
To manage bank data using another key, for example, the SWIFT code, external number assignment can also be used.
