Use
You create the bank areas that you require for your organization in this IMG activity. You determine certain defaults which will or can affect all accounts within the bank area.
Standard settings
SAP does not deliver any default bank areas.
Recommendation
We recommend that you create a bank area for each organization managed in the system which has its own bank key. Generally, you will only need one bank area.
Activities
Enter a bank area and the global settings.
The bank country to be entered (where the institute is located) controls how the bank key is treated and which underlying control mechanisms apply. The bank country also determines the maximum length of account numbers that the system uses in this bank area. You can find information about changing the bank-country settings under Set Countries or Set Country-Specific Checks.
The bank key entered stipulates which check-digit calculation method is used for the account numbers created for the bank area and the outbound payment transactions.
In addition, you should also make settings here for account settlement and for transfer to the general ledger.
If you create a bank area for SAP In-House Cash, you must set the IHC Active indicator.
Further notes
The country-specific relevance of the bank key is specified when the country key is defined.
Banks are generally listed under their bank number and the bank number appears in duplicate in the banks control data.
In some countries, the bank account number assumes this function. There is no bank number and the bank data is listed under the account number.
For data medium exchange it may be useful to enter banks of foreign business partners without bank numbers even if bank numbers are used in that particular country. In this case you can assign the bank key internally.
If the bank data should be listed under a different key, such as the SWIFT code, an external number assignment can also be set.
Tip
If you have created a bank area, you must link this bank area to a posting date before you can create accounts for the bank area. You do this in the current account system under Periodic Processing -> Posting Date -> Payment Transactions and Closing.
