Vendor bank accounts - blocking for use

Question

Hello,
here is my problem. After several years some vendors do not use all bank accounts which are in vendor master record.
Example: bank account 888888,bank account 77777, bank account 99999
our clients are not using bank account 888888 any more. Still when their users are posting invoices, sometimes choose bank account which is not in use. So how can we block bank accounts not to be used ? Keep in mind that erasing accounts can not be done because audit trail of bank transactions.
Best regards to all

Hi
There is no standard SAP control is available to stop posting to the not used banks.
You can do the same using validation.....create a validation for total document to the particualr company codes and use the user exit in the validation checking in that user exit you can use the Z table , there in the table enter the vendor master, bank key details which are not used further...for entering this table you can use Z transaction...ABAPer will do the same....whenever user try to post the transactions system will check the Z table used in the user exit....and stops the user to post.
Other way...............
In the Bank details of the Vendor master , you will find the "partner bank type"...using this field user can post to the correct bank at the line item invoice....user has to select the partner bank type everytime, if no selection made then default it will take make postings to first one.
