SAPNote 12038 - Acct. no. in file different from actual acct. no.

Symptom

The account number in the account statement files (AUSZUG.TXT and
UMSAT.TXT) differs from the actual bank account number.
The account number in the account statement files cannot be entered
in the table of house bank accounts (T012K), as the format check
prevents this (either the number is too long or includes letters).

Cause and prerequisites

Internally, the banks record a customer account with an extended
account number, which often includes codes for the bank branch
and the account currency.
Example:
Customer account number: 999999999
Internal bank number: 111999999999DEM

The bank's internal number cannot be entered in the table of house
bank accounts (T012K), as the banks only accept the customer account
number for payment transactions (payment program: DTAUS file for
bank transfers, bank collection, and checks).

Solution
A change is required in MultiCash, not in the SAP System.
The MultiCash program, which fetches the electronic account statements
and generates the account statement files, can be configured such
that the bank account number that is relevant for payment transactions
is placed in the account statement files (AUSZUG.TXT and UMSATZ.TXT).
The customer must call menu
-> Cash management
-> Daily statements
-> Account master data administration
and enter the bank account number from the house bank account table
(T012K) from R/3 in field "Account number for external processing".

Please note:
============
The term "account number", as used in this note, refers
exclusively to the bank account number. It is not to be confused
with the G/L account number from the customer's G/L chart of accounts.
