SAP Note 13921 - DTAZV - House bank missing receiver bank info

Symptom:

When data medium exchange is used for foreign wire transfers (DTAZV format for the Federal Republic of Germany), the customer receives a notice from the bank that the information about the payee bank is missing.

Cause and prerequisites

1. The house bank agreed with the customer to share the address as well as the SWIFT code of the payee bank. This agreement is due to the obvious assignment of the receiver to the corresponding receiver bank, and the resulting fewer complaints and charges for this from the foreign bank.

2. In accordance with an agreement with his/her house bank, the customer does not place the SWIFT address of the payee bank in the SWIFT code (vendor data), but instead the correspondence bank in the payee's country to provide the house bank with the routing.

When the SWIFT code is filled in DTAZV format, however, no data is passed on other than the account number. This means that

1. there may be problems determining the receiver bank which leads to costs due to additional research;

2. the correpsondence bank in the payee's country is missing the information regarding the bank the payee actually uses. As a result, no payment is possible.

Solution
Despite the above agreement, the bank routing code of the payee must be entered instead of the SWIFT address in the vendor master record.

As of Release 3.0, you have the option of filling the empty fields in accordance with the regulations of the house bank by means of a user exit, and to forward the information in such a way. Refer to the program documentation for further details.
