Documentation
Definition
A standard number standardized in accordance with the ECBS (European
Commitee for Banking Standards) to represent bank details. AN IBAN
contains a maximum of 34 alphanumerical symbols and is made up a
combination of hte following elements:
The bank's country key (ISO code)
A two-figure check digit
Country-specific account number (in Germany, for example, this consists
of the bank number and the account number, while in France it consists
of the bank number, the account number and the bank control key).
Use
The IBAN simplifies international payments and also provides benefits
for domestic payments in some countries. In some countries, it also
provides advantages with respect to value dates and fees.
Dependencies
The IBAN can be stored in parallel with the bank details, but does not
replace them. It is stored under the business partner's master data, and can be used when settings up the payment medium.
As only the bank managing the account can generate the IBAN, which
corresponds to one account number, the SAP system creates a proposal
only. You can either confirm or change this. If the system was not able
to create a proposal, enter the IBAN yourself.
Example
In Belgium, an IBAN might look like this:
Electronic form:
BE62510007547061
Printed form, as it appears on the invoice:
IBAN BE62 5100 0754 7061
