Bank account number field in Infotype 0009

Deal All,
My client's requirement is that in IT0009 the length of Bank account number (BANKN) needs to be increased for a particular affiliate. Currently the length is 18 Character and my client wants to increase it to character 20 for a particular affiliate.
Can anyone please let me know is it possible to do it. If it is not possible then what can be the other alternatives to met the requirement and the impacts of the alternatives.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandip Biswas.

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.

BAI2 - Bank Account Numbers 10 characters

We are having an issue with the bank account number on the BAI2 format being 10 characters while the accounts numbers on the customer master are larger than 10 (13). This is causing some the payments to be applied to the wrong account. For example on the bai2 structure the bank account number is 1234567890, but should be 1234567890123
In the customer master the there could be a bank account number of 1234567890 and 1234567890123. When the lockbox program runs the cash is applied to customer of 1234567890 which is in correct.
SAP has a note 136065 which could be a solution, but also is a change to standard. Has anyone applied this note? Is there another solution.
Thanks for any help.

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.

Bank Account Number is 22 characters

Dear Friends,
We are working in 4.6V. The Country is GB or Great Britain. In the configuration the bank account no is 18 characters.
As i know, Bank account number cannot more than 18 characters.
Is there any scope to increase the bank account number field to 22 characters?
Please advise.
For ECC 6.0, Can we input bank account number which has 22 characters?
All the help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar
Usually it is not recommended to increase the length of the characters for bank account numbers. But if you have the authorization and need, then goto OY17 and change the length as per requirements.
Also, the usual way people tackle a similar problem for Chinese companies is by adding the remaining digts/characters in the Bank Key section or in the Reference Field ... This is a solution if OY17 does not help you.
All the best!

Bank Account field in Vendor Master

Hello Experts, we are on ECC 5.0 and want to increase the Bank Account field in the Payment Transaction tab of Vendor Master from the maximun now allowed (18 characters) to more, as Singapore Vendors have Bank Accounts longer than 18 characters. Please let me know of any User-exit that can undertake this. Thanks for your help.
Joseph Teli

Hi Joseph, In my opinion you should change the program which generates IDOCs
changing any standard field would cause a lot of undesired complications.
Its always advisable to add a field instead of changing it.
I have already used the solution which I proposed and it is advised by SAP

Can we make as P.center as required field for Bank accounts

hi friends,
can we make as profit center as required field for bank accounts in field status group.
If we make as required, what are the impact /consequences will happen. We are drawing Financial statements at profit center level.
We are using ECC 6.0 with document splitting.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi,
If you have document splitting active, where profit center is mandatory, do not make profit center mandatory at the field status group level as this will not allow the documents to split where there are more than one profit center in a document.
The bank line item gets automatically split in the ratio of liability or Assets line items profit center. And if you make Profit center mandatory in Bank line item then this splitting will not take place. Moreover you will not be able to post any document having more than one profit center.
You can test this out all by yourself in a test system. Post an Invoice(FB60) as foolows:-
Expense -Dr.(P.C.-A)- 100
Expense -Dr.(P.C.-B)-200
   To vendor - 300
This entry will show in general ledger view as :-
Expense -Dr.(P.C.-A) - 100
Expense -Dr.(P.C.-B) - 200
   To vendor .(P.C.-A) - 100
   To vendor .(P.C.-B) - 100
Now go to F-53 and post payment:-
Enter Bank Account no., amount, and also enter profit center on the first screen as u hv made P.C. mandatory, and select the above document no. and try posting it. You will get error in this case.
Do let me know if it is of any help to you.

Bank Account field in Vendor Master Data

Hi Guys,
Anyone of you might have faced this kind of problem.
The field for bank account in vendor bank details provides only 18 digits.
We have a couple of Polish and Russian vendors which have 20 digits in the bank account and because SAP cuts off the first 2 digits payments cannot be made.
Will it be possible to extend the number of digits in the bank account field? If yes,
can anyone let me know how it can me done.
Thanks

The situations where REGUH-ZBNKN (bank account number) is longer than 18 digits. in this case the bank account number continues on field REGUH-BKREF (reference).
You have to implement OSS#96624 to solve this problem
Regards.
(Finding more detail in OSS Note)
Symptom
This note refers to business partner bank account numbers with more than 18 digits.
Banks of certain countries use bank account numbers with more than 18 digits. Consequently, these bank account numbers cannot be stored completely in the bank account number field of the R/3 System, but are to be used for the payment transactions with the bank in the data medium exchange (DME).
Solution
Depending on the country of the bank of the business partner, we recommend that you enter that part of the account number which does not fit into the respective 'Bank account number' input field in the 'Reference specifications for bank details' field or in the 'Bank control key' field of the customer or vendor master data.
We recommend that you use the fields in the R/3 System as follows:
China- Various account number formats, some have more than 18 digits
- Save the first 18 digits in the 'Bank account number' field
- If the Chinese bank account number is longer than 18 digits, the
remaining digits are saved in the 'Reference specifications for bank
details' field.

Vendor issues (trading partner and bank account)

Hi Experts,
I need your advise on the following topics
1. we were trying to update the bank details of a vendor. However, we are going to use a 20 digits bank number for russia usually its only 18 digits (RUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX). in the customizing in OY17 the maximum bank account number length is only 18 digits. We followed sapnote 96624 (Store the first two digits in the 'Bank control key' field and then Store the remaining digits in the 'Bank account number' field) but when trying to update the IBAN (RUXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX) we recive an error that its not correct. Is there another way to update the IBAN with a 20digit bank account number without increasing the maximum bank account number length?
2. we have updated the trading partner field in the vendor master. after the chnages were saved we immediately posted a document (more or less 1 minute interval) this field should have been automatically been populated but upon checking the document today trading partner in the document is blank. it only happened in this one document. please advise the possible cause of this inconsistency, how can it be traced and if there are possible correction.
Thanks for your inputs

Hi,
1. adjuste FM CONVERT_BANK_ACCOUNT_2_IBAN_RU to include the control field
2. reverse document & repost.

Business Area is not getting updated in "Main Bank Account" Line item (FF_5

Hi Gurus,
I am executing T Code: FF_5 for uploading the "Multi-Cash" Format. This transaction clears the Bank Clearing Account and post the entry to the credit of "Bank Main Account".
Now while i had executed F110, the Business area was properly captured in the Bank Clearing Account Line item. But while executing FF_5, the Business Area is not getting captured against the "Main Bank Account" Line item.
Can you please tell me how to capture the Business Area against the "Main Bank Account" Line item.
Rgds,
Prasad.

Hi,
1. In case of Business where payments are made centrally it is important to report
    Bank A/c Business area wise.
2. However I have solved the problem by doing "Sustitution", and its working fine. The Business Area is getting updated against the Main Bank Account Line item.
3. I am however getting one error while doing the upload in FF_5. The error occurs
   only if Business Area is a "required" field in Bank Account's "Field Status
   Group".
   Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER ; see next message.
   But if I make Business Area as an Optional Field I am not getting an error and
   also the posting is done to Main Bank Account.
Is there anyother method by which this error can be corrected.
I have assigned 2 points for your inputs. Can you help me to solve this error as well.

How to suppress vendor bank account for vendor types

Hi
I'll bet this has been asked a few times before but I'm struggling to find anything relevant in theforums. This really isn't a security issue as there is the option to suppress the bank account field in SPRO but I just wondered if anybody had found a work around or proper SAP standard S&A to resolve please?
The perennial "We need to stop people seeing vendor bank account details for our employees but still can see the 'real' vendors' bank account details!" question has been raised, I've offered the suppress bank account details field (load blunderbus and fire option) but is there anything I can do to refine this?
This is a fairly old 4.6D system due to be upgraded late next year and there's been no XK03 custom transaction mod made so far as I can see.
Vendors have been define as EMPLOY,..., etc so the split is there if needed...
Thanks for your attention - just wanted to see if this was possible?
Regards
David

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,
Yen

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

Vendor master data - Bank Account field len too short

Dear Expert,
My client trying to create a vendor when she maintains the Bank account number under the bank detail and she encounterred error message "Entry in field Bank Acct. No is longer than 10 characters" where can I extend the field to 11 characters?
thank you

Hi,
Maximum length for bank account number is 18.
The error message is because, for the country, standard SAP allows only 10 chars.
To change this,
1. Go to t-code OY17
2. Change the bank account number /bank number length accordingly.

Sridevi
