In this section you create the bank areas you need within your organization and define certain entries that affect or can affect all accounts within the bank area.
Standard settings
The standard system provides the following bank areas:
0001 Bank area SAP
IHC IHC Bank
Recommendation
Create a bank area for every organization with its own bank key managed in the system. You will normally only need one bank area.
Activities
Create a bank area and make the global settings.
The bank country entered (where the bank is located) controls how the bank key is handled and which of the fundamental control mechanisms are effective. The bank country also determines the maximum length of the account numbers used by the system in this bank area. Read how to change the settings for the bank country under Set countries or Set country specific checks
The bank key entered controls, among other things, the check digit calculation method used for the account numbers created in the bank area and also outgoing payment transactions.
Also make entries here regarding account balancing and transfer to the general ledger.
Further notes
You define the country-specific meaning of the bank key when you define the country key.
Banks are usually managed with their own bank number and this bank number is duplicated in the control data for the bank.
In certain countries, the bank account number assumes this function; in this case there are no bank numbers, the bank data is managed with the account number.
For data medium exchange it can be useful to be able to enter banks of foreign business partners without bank numbers, too, even if the country concerned has bank numbers. In these cases you can issue the bank key internally.
If the bank data is to be managed with another key, e.g. the SWIFT code, you can also set external number assignment.
Tip
When you have created a bank area, you must first link this bank area to a posting date before you can create accounts for this bank area. You do this in the current account system by choosing Periodic tasks -> Posting date -> Payment transactions and Balancing.
