Documentation
Definition
The bank key (under which the bank data is stored in the appropriate country) is specified in this field.
The country-specific meaning of this bank key is specified when defining country key.
Use
Normally banks have a bank number, which then also appears in the control data of the bank.
In certain countries the bank account number assumes this function; in such a case there would be no bank numbers, the bank details are then under the account number.
For data medium exchange it can be useful to be able create banks for foreign business partners without a bank number, even if the country in question has bank numbers. In such cases the bank key can be assigned internally.
If the bank data is under another key, such as the SWIFT code for example, numbers can also be assigned externally.
