20 digits long bank account number

Hi All,
We have a supplier in China with a bank account having 20 digits. Unfortunately we only have 18 digits for the bank account in SAP. What configuration needs to be done to enter this 20 digits long Bank account no in the vendor master data?

Ajitha,
Are you in a position to use Bank Account Type (2 char) in combination with Bank Account Number (18 char)? That will give you required 20 digit number.
Changing internal field length of a field as commonly used as Bank Account Number isn't advisable. Do you have details on what type of business (specifically banking) transactions will occur with this Vendor? May be that will help in suggesting different solution.

  • Bank Account number in IT0009 for Switzerland more than 18 digits

    Dear Experts,
             I encountered a problem when trying to create a bank account number in IT0009 for Switzerland. Because this Swtizerland bank account number is 21 digits which exceeded the current bank account number field length which is 18 digits only.
             Thanks.
    Regards,
    Yen

    Dear Ram Manohar,
              Thanks a lot for your reply. Before this I thought of putting the additional 3 digits in 'reference detail' field too. But the field 'reference detail' is not being showed at all when I change the bank key to 'CH' Switzerland.
              Please advice if there's any other way to store the additional 3 digits of bank account number?
              Thanks.
    Regards,

  • Masking a bank account number in a DFF (R12)

    we have bank account numbers stored in a DFF in Payables on the Supplier record (additionally due to specific requirements).  Is there a way to 'mask' the number that it is not available/visable when a user queries the Supplier record where the DFF is available?
    Thanks

  • "entry in field bank account number is longer than 10 characters"

    Hello Sap Experts,
    The user is getting an error on saving the bank infotype. (0009). The user is trying to create a IT0009 for an international assignee.The error is "entry in field bank account number is longer than 10 characters.
    The default characters allowed maximum specified in the technical field is 18 characters. The abaper also checked and confirmed that it is specified as 18 characters.
    This is only for a single employee.
    Please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks

    Jyothsna,
    You need to extend Bank Account number length....even though 18 will be the max length..by default assignment of length will be different from country to country. So you need to extend the length of Bank a/c number in trasaction OY17.....select the country and change the bank a/c number length to 18 and Checking rule to 5 max value length.

    The SAP Note has 96624 has been implemented.As I know, all the 19 digits are not captured in F110.
    Please suggest how to solve the issue?
    Regards

    Hi,
    You can do the necessary settings in SPRO --> SAP Netweaver --> General settings --> set countries --> set country specific checks.
    Here you can mention 19 as bank account number length

  • Bank account number lenght needs to be increse from 18 to 22

    Hi All,
    Before posting above subject requirement, I have searched in SCN. People suggested as:
    1. Give it as 18 digit account in "Bank account number place" and rest maintain in reference field.
    2. Try to change in OY17: I tried in this t.code not possible.
    3. you can concatenate two fields into one.
    I am not able to solve my problem with the above suggestion.
    Kindly provide step by step details to reach my requirement.

    Hello,
    Have you checked OSS Notes  1585003 - How to enter a long account number and 1037617 - Customisable conversion of long account number?
    In the first one, SAP suggests that for China, you should use the reference field for the remaining digits.
    Can you please describe what exactly is the problem that you are facing with this solution?
    Kind regards,

  • Vendor bank account number

    Hi All,
    How can i extend the length of Vendor Bank account number up to 20 Digits character over the SPRO.which max length in that field is 18 digit
    Could any one help me out in this case...
    Rgds,
    Hendro

    Are the changes being brought in only the prefix for that vendor and to reflect the same in table  LFBK and see the field in Lifnr getting updated with the new Prefix value .
    then check this Fm ..
    BAPI_VENDOR_EDIT
    May be can write a bdc for that particular vendor(s) in XK02 or can proceed with LSMW.
    Im not sure clear with what transaction you are trying to change the  prefix value cause u need to maintain that range for the vendor in the settings Spro.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Sandip,
    Please refer to SAP Note 193078 - Employee/applicant bank details in Russia.
    Maybe it is nor specific for your case but SAP recommends to maintain first two digits in Bank key field.
    Please make sure whether this solution works for your case.

  • Bank Account Number

    Experts,
    We are doing business with Chinese Vendors for which they have 19 digit Bank Account Numbers - Our present version of R/3 is 4.7 and it allows upto 18 digit Bank Account Numbers. We are planning to upgrade it to ECC 5/6 next year, but just wanted to check whether that will take care of this issue - have 19 digit bank account numbers.
    All answers/opinions/views would be duly appreciated and rewarded with points.

  • Bank Account Number length

    Hi All,
    I need to update a bank account number in transaction FI12. Reducing the number of digits from 11 to 10 digits, but every time I do it I got the error message:
    Bank account number or bank number are not of valid length - AR212.
    I already made some tests in transaction OY17 changing some country specific  checks, but I still get the same error message.
    Does anybody has an idea what the problem can be?
    I already delete the bank account and try to recreate it, also did the same creating a new house bank, but also get the same error message.
    Thank you so much for any help.

    If the issue is related to "bank account number" length, you should change the "bank account number" length in OY17 as per your requirement.  You mentioned in your previous replies that you tried changing the "bank number" length in OY17, which will not help.
    You are correct; post bank acct no. is in some European countries (Switzerland, for example), so changing that will not help MX.
    Please also take a look at the following SAP Notes.

  • SAP EBS error - Same Bank Account number for 2 different Account ids

    Hi,
    My client maintained the same Bank Account number for 2 different Account Id's within the same housebank.
    He has maintained Account id HELCO ( Local cheques) and HEICO ( International Cheques) and assigned same Account Number for both in the same house bank.
    I am getting error " "same bank account exists in several company codes -> see long text, Message FB757"  while uploading EBS file ( BAI2 format) due to this..
    How do I resolve the issue.
    Why is SAP allowing to maintain same bank account nos for different account id's?

    Hi Aravind
    I too faced this kind of situation when i am dealing with multi cash format file
    As far as i know when you are dealing with EBS, system will check account key and account number that is present in the bank file
    Please check the entries in T012K table with bank key and bank account number
    You should not have more than one entry with the combination and i am surprised that even though you have different bank key for the same account number you got this message..
    I request you to check the T012K table entries and make sure that no duplicate entries exists with the bank key and bank account number combination
