Change bank account number

Dear All,
How Can I change bank account number from 11 characters to 12 characters for a company code?
I tried to do it in FBZP but I have an error message that I can't do this change for a bank account number longer than 11 characters.
Is there any solution?
Thanks

Hi,
@Innamuri : I tried to maintain the correct bank account in alternative account number but I don't know why there is also an inconsistency between bank account number and alternative account number.
For example : In bank account number (X00000XXYYX) --- > 11 characters
and In alternative account number (0X00000XXYYX) -
> 12 characters
I understand from that that the first number 0 in bank account number it's not maintained.
@ Smuthyala : We haven't the right to do this.

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.

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.
Thanks & regards,
Mariks

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,

Bank account number is not reflecting while creating invoice at invoice work bench from front end. Bank account details are properly attached at party site level.

Hi Team,
If you are getting XXXX in place of Bank number then the issue is at (Setup > Payment >Payment Adminstrator).
Log into Payments Setup > Shared Setup > System Security Options. Now you will find "External Bank Account Masking Setting" & Number of Digits to Disp . Now provide the numer of digits to display.

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.

Regarding Bank key and Bank account number

Hi All,
I have a query regarding Bank key and Bank account number.
I want to set bank account number length as 9 digits. so I set it @ below path
SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver-> General settings -> Set countries -> Set country specific checks.
I tried to change the bank account number length to 9 digits from existing 10 digits using transaction FI12.
But while changeing the bank account system throws an error like "Bank account number or bank number are not of valid length".
Can any one suggest solution on this?
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Nidhi

Dear Nidhi,
It seems that earlier bank account number contained 10 digits and then setting was changed to 9 digits that may be the cause of the error. Do one thing, go back to country setting and restore the bank account number digit to 10. Then make changes to bank account number to 9 digits. Make similar changes to all bank in your company code which has 10 digits.
Then go to country settings and make account number digit to 9 digit which will prevent bank account number to be 10 digits created in future.

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.

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.

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

Hide or Encrypt Bank Account Number

Hey Guys,
The client has a requirement in FK03 to hide/encrypt the bank account number in the bank details table in the tcode FK03.
When using the transaction FK03, I am having a problem with hiding or encryting a user's bank account number. When you execute the FK03 transaction, select a vendor and go to the next screen, you are then taken to the Payment Transactions Screen. User bank account information is displayed on this screen. I do not want the entire table hidden, but I am unable to hide or encrypt the bank account number. I am unable to find any authorization objects to control this specific field. Does anyone have suggestions on how to implement this?

If all users except the accounting department may not see the number, and the accounting department must be able to see the number from the standard transactions in this application area (e.g. FK03, XK02, etc), then you will be best off looking for an enhancement point via which you can add your own coding.
The easiest and least intrusive way in my opinion would be to find one which affects only the payment transactions screen but regardless of the transaction context, and if the user fails an authority-check of your own invention - then modify the internal table to replace the real number with a bogus one.
But remember that if the user can debug in display mode, then they will display the internal table before you modify it, unless you DEFINE it in a macro... (but that is again intrusive, and there still are ways).
If you choose the encrypt / decrypt route, then you will have to fight with the field types of the bank table and can still make the same mistakes... except that someone looking directly at the table via a data broowser will not see much either... (until they find the decryption function and run that).
Please also a take a look at [SAP Note 1257033 - Cookbook: Modification/enhancement for standard SAP system|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1257033] before proceding with an enhancement.
Cheers,
Julius
