Creating Bank Chains for SAP Business Partners 

Use

Here, you can specify which bank chain is to be used for payment transactions with an SAP business partner.

You can create bank chains for recipient banks and sending banks. Classification as a recipient bank or a sending bank is done from the business partner's perspective.

Prerequisites

You have created the master data for the SAP business partner.

Procedure

1.       Choose the Payment Details tab page.

If the SAP business partner has been created without company code data, choose the Payment Details tab page.

2.       Under Bank Details, highlight those that you wish to use as recipient or sending bank, or enter the details.

3.       Choose the pushbutton Bank ch. sender or Bank ch. receiver.

This takes you to the screen for editing bank chains.

4.       Choose New Entries and enter the specifications for the new bank chain. You specify the bank chain per currency and - if necessary - also by Sender Bank Country, Sender Bank Key and Payment Method Supplement.

5.       Select a specification and choose Bank Chain Assignment.
