FI Bank Master Data: Data Transfer Workbench

FI Bank Master Data: Data Transfer Workbench

Definition

Transferring FI bank master data from an external system into the R/3 System.

The R/3 System offers the following options for creating bank master data:

You can create bank master data at the same time as you create customer or vendor master records. To do this, you transfer the bank details and the bank master data when the data is transferred.
You can create bank master data in the system beforehand. You then transfer the bank details when you create customer or vendor master data.
You do not transfer the bank details with the customer or vendor master data; you have to enter this manually. This is necessary, for example, if you transfer your master data from an invoicing system where the bank details have not been kept up-to-date.

You can also transfer bank master data into your system using the country-specific SAP data transfer programs specially designed for this. A prerequisite for this is that you have the master data in a certain format on a tape or diskette.

This is not a workbench data transfer.
