Issue in processing IBAN in FLB2

Question

Hi Experts,
In transaction FLB2 for the lockbox record type 6 record should match the structure of FLB26 which is as given below.
Structure: FLB26 (BAI-II format: lockbox record type 6, new check)
Field
Type
Length
Description
DR001
NUMC

Record Type for Lockbox
DR002

Remittance Amount (Payment Amount) for Lockbox

The program (Transaction: FLB2) uses the value from field DR005 (Bank Key) and DR006 (Account Number) to determine the customer based on bank details (Table: KNBK) and proceed with further processing. Consider below two records with and without IBAN.

ABC701063
AB76Z0503445110000000000019
In the case of the record without IBAN, DR005 is 123456789(Bank key) and DR006 is 123456789012(Account number). Based on this information, the query on KNBK returns a customer.
In the case where IBAN details are passed, the fields DR005(Bank key) & DR006(Account number) contains the wrong value.Based on these values i dont get customer from table KNBK.
i can get correct Bank account and Bank key for the record with IBAN using FM CONVERT_IBAN_2_BANK_ACCOUNT.
IBAN:AB76Z0503445110000000000019
Bank Account Number
000000000019
Bank Control Key
Z
Bank Country
AB
Bank Key
0503445110
If i use the bank account and bank key received from this FM to get the customer from table KNBK , i have the customer.
but this cannot be corrected in structure FLB26 since the field DR005 in structure FLB26 is 9 characters and the Bank Key received from FM is 10 characters. The possible length of the bank key can be upto 15 characters as well. The processing fails because of this discrepancy.
Can any one tell me for the record types with IBAN how can we process IBAN for posting?

Hi Kevin,
        1. Please check your Archive directory name. You may be ging some wrong name (Spelling mistake).
        2. check you sould have an authorization to read, delete or archive the files from the FTp server
        3.  If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator(check box) in Sender File Adapter. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.
Thanks.
