Documentation
Definition
In this field, you specify the bank key under which bank data from the respective country is stored.
When you define the country key, you also specify the country-specific definition of the bank key.
Normally, you manage banks using their bank number. The bank number in the control data for the bank is then displayed twice, that is, as the bank key too.
In certain countries, the bank account number takes on this function; then there are no bank numbers and the bank data is managed using the account number.
For data medium exchange, you may find it useful to be able to enter foreign business partners without a bank number, even if there are bank numbers in the country in question. In this case, the bank key can be assigned internally.
To manage bank data using another key, for example, the SWIFT code, external number assignment can also be used.

Use
The bank key is used for identifying the house bank account to which the checks are to be deposited. .
Dependencies
You should only specify the bank key if it is not transferred from the external system.
If the account numbers for the house banks are unique in the SAP system even without a bank key, then the bank key can also be left off.
