Bank Data Validation

Use

You can specify check rules for country-specific definitions. In the Netherlands, you have to set the check rules for the bank key and bank account number. The system then automatically carries out formal checks on the length of these entries.

Activities

Customizing

To activate the checks, in Customizing for General Settings, choose Set Countries ® Set Country-Specific Checks. For country key NL, make the following entries:

·        Set the bank key assignment to 4

·        Set the bank account number length to 10 and the corresponding checking rule to 4

·        Set the post bank account number length to 7 and the corresponding checking rule to 1

·        Set the bank number length to 0 (do not specify a checking rule)

You can also set additional special checks to avoid input errors with bank account numbers by selecting Bank Data under Further Checks.

Master Data

·        Set the bank key to either B for bank account or P for post bank account (or if you are not located in the Netherlands but want to register Dutch customers/vendors, enter the SWIFT code as the bank key).
