IBAN Maintenance in Vendor Master

Question

I would like to have a solution to validate bank account number and IBAN while maintaining both these fields in vendor master record. Business scenario is that we should be able to enter bank account number with or without IBAN. But if both bank account number and IBAN are entered in vendor master, then an error is to be displayed if bank account number does not match with IBAN.
I am in United Arab Emirates (Country code AE) but SAP country verion for AE is not applied.

Hi,
Yes, only if you set the indicator "Bank Data" under Further checks then that country-specific check of the bank details (bank
number, bank account number, bank control key) is carried out. The corresponding check routines are installed in the system and can be activated via this switch "only".
for correct generation of IBAN from bank details for UAE following information is necessary:
AE - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - United Arab Emirates
Key for the bank directory: 1
Bank account number - Length, Checking rule: 16, 2
Bank number length - Length, Checking rule: 3, 4
The IBAN is derived from the 3-digit bank number and the account number
(which may have up to 16 digits). A 3-digit bank number and a 16-digit
account number are generated from an IBAN.
Refer note 1012293
If you want to set Bank key as 4 i..e externally, please check if the same routnie works by enabling the indicator as IBAN is derived from the 3-digit bank number and the account number and vice versa.
Hope this helps.
