Length of G/L account number

Hi.
I have a question, i hope someone can help me..!!!
I just create a new chart of account with "Length of G/L account number = 2", then i define an account group = 1000 to 1999
Group name = Assets. And finally I create a G/L account = 1010 with the tx FSP0
So my question is, why I can create that account (1010) in my new chart of account if I put "Length of G/L account number = 2"..???
I think that SAP has to show me an error message.
Thanks..!!

GL account lenght control is based on the number range maintained in OBD4 .
OB13 provides room for how you want to view the GL account , for eg. it your lenght is 6 , you have created a GL say 3445 then system will show it as 003445 .
System adds up preceeding zeros in case of numeric accounts and following zeros in alphanumberic accounts.

CHART OF ACCOUNTS - Change Length of G/L account number

Hi everybody.
I need your help.
Which are the consecuences in the FI and logistic modules if I change the Length of the chart of account from 6 to 8.
I guess it's only changing the accounts, could there be something else?
Thank you for your help.

10 characters is the max.
Please note that typically, we have 5, 6, or 7 digits is typical
I wanted to ask some of you about the impact of using alphanumeric chart of account.

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.

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.
1. Note 1573150 - Check of bank account number for Mexico
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1573150

How to control Bank Account Number Length based on different countries?

Using eBs 11.5.10
We noticed that the bank account number when updated in under a bank within Austria pads extra zeroes in the beginning to ensure length is always 11. However, this padding of zeroes does not occur in a bank within United Kingdom.
This leads to believe, there is some possible configurable setup that controls this validation. Please advise, where this setup is and if its configurable.
Thanks.

Hi Mahesh,
If it is 19 for china then check with sap service market place or any sap notes available, otherwise you need to change the length and also you need to analyse the impact of changes in the system.

Hi Kuldeep,
Significant length of the G/L account number
This determines the length of a G/L account number in the chart of accounts. This number may have up to ten digits.
Use
If you do not need ten digits for your accounts, you can avoid the need for proceeding zeros by reducing the length of the G/L account number.
Dependencies
The system adds zeros to the account numbers as follows:
Numerical account numbers. The system includes zeros to the left of the
number
1234 -> 0000001234
Alpha-numeric account numbers. The system includes zeros to the right of the
number
1131DB -> 1131DB0000
If this is helpful assign me points.

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.

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.

"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

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 number & Bank number structure for Chile

Hi,
Does anybody know how the Bank number & Bank account number structure is?
I do need to create a module for banks field (because it is not delivered in standard SAP). Does anybody do it before?
Thanks a lot

Dear Rafael,
Please check the following details for the Country Chile, which is as per the TCode 'OY17' :
Bank number length 15
Tax Number 1 11
Length of Bank Key 15
Besides, you also should check the box 'Other Data' which will take care of the internal check.
On the other hand, Conversion of bank details to IBAN is carried out by function module CONVERT_BANK_ACCOUNT_2_IBAN_<2 characters country code>. For example, for CHILE, the function module will be CONVERT_BANK_ACCOUNT_2_IBAN_CH.
For this, two function modules and two Business Transaction Events (BTEs) are to be created for each country:
1. Copy the SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00003030 function module from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00003030 to
 CONVERT_BANK_ACCOUNT_2_IBAN_??, in which you must replace the '??' with your country's name.
2. Copy the SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00003040 function module from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00003040 to
 CONVERT_IBAN_2_BANK_ACCOUNT_??, in which you must replace the '??' exactly as above.
I hope this information is useful.
Best regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

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
