Definition

This field displays the bank key which stores the bank data for the particular country.

You define the significance of this bank key for a particular country when you define the country key.

Banks are usually managed by their bank number. This number is used to display the control parameters of the bank.

This is done in certain countries by the bank account number. In such cases, there are no bank numbers. The bank data is managed by the account number.

For data medium exchange it is useful if you can also create foreign business partner banks without bank numbers, even if the country concerned does have bank numbers. In such cases, you can assign the bank key internally.

If the bank data is managed by another key, such as the SWIFT code, you can also agree to assign a bank number externally.
