SAP Note 24218 - Same bank account number for different accounts

Symptom:

Customer has several bank accounts with the same account number at one bank for different currencies or other subgroups and has problems when customizing the electronic account statement.

Cause and prerequisites

Design.
So far it was assumed that an account can be clearly identified by the bank number and account number.
This was really the case until the credit institutions extended the account number that were not agreed upon.
A currency or branch code of the credit institution is now often added to the account numbers.
Inconsistently, the banks send the extended account number with the account statement. However, they are not able to receive these extended account numbers during the data medium exchange.

Solution

Solution in Release 3.0 =======================

The Alternative account number field was added to the house bank account table T012K (T012K-BNKN2). There, you have to enter the extened account number.

Solution in Release 2.1 and 2.2: ================================

1. Apply for different account numbers at the bank

If this is not wanted, use solution proposal 2


2. Double entries in the house bank account table T012K

The entries in the house bank table are used by the payment program and the electronic account statement. Since the bank uses two different account numbers and only one field is available for the account number in Release 2.1and 2.2, the problem can only be solved by double entries in the house bank account table T012K.
Here aou have to consider the following:

• When making entries for the payment program, the field T012K-HKONT must stay empty.

• When making entries for the electronic account statement, T012K-HKONT must be filled.
  Here it can happen that the account number is longer than the convention valid for the respective country and can therefore not be input. In this case, the account number, which is used for the account statement file, can be changed with the help of note 12038 so that it corresponds to the convention.
