Documentation
Definition
A uniform standardized ID number for representing bank details that is in accordance with the ECBS (European Committee for Banking Standards). An IBAN has a maximum of 34 alphanumeric characters and is a combination of the following elements:
Country key of the bank (ISO code)
Two-digit check number
Country-specific account number (in Germany this consists of the bank number and account number, in France the bank number, account number and check key).
Use
The IBAN not only makes international payments easier, in some countries it has advantages for domestic payments as well. Depending on the country, it can mean advantages for value and fees.
Dependencies
The IBAN can be maintained in parallel with the bank details but does not replace them. It is stored under the master data of the business partner and can then be used when creating the payment medium.
Since it is only the bank that has the account that may generate the IBAN corresponding to an account number, the SAP system only generates a proposal. You can confirm or change this proposal. If no proposal is generated, enter the IBAN manually.
Example
An IBAN in Belgium may look like this:
Electronic Form:
BE62510007547061
Printed form, as it would appear on an invoice:
IBAN BE62 5100 0754 7061
