Bank Master Data 

Purpose

In the R/3 System, bank master data is stored centrally in the bank directory.

The following sections describe how you maintain bank master data and outline the factors you should consider when transferring bank master data automatically.

In addition to defining bank master data, you also define your own bank details (house banks) and those for your business partner (entered in the business partner's master record).

See Bank Selection for details on the settings required for the payment program, under Payments in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable documentation.

The following topics cover basic information on bank master data, including the settings to be made in Customizing.
