Documentation
Definition
In this field is the bank dey of the correspondence bank, where the bank data are stored in each country.
The country-specific meaning of this bank key is determined while defining the country keys.
Normally, banks are kept according to their bank number. The number is used again on the bank's tax data.
In certain countries the bank account number serves this purpose; there is no bank number. Bank data are kept according to account number.
When perfoming a data medium exchange, it can be useful to creat foreign business partners without bank numbers, even if bank numbers are available in that particular country. In these cases you can then assigen a bank key internally.
If bank data are kept according to a different key, e.g. the SWIFT code, you can also assign numbers externally.
