Defining House Banks

The house banks of your company are the banks that your company has an account with. You can use them to process payment transactions.

In the SAP system, house banks have the following characteristics:

They are assigned to company codes.
Each company code can have multiple house banks.
Each house bank of a company code is represented by a bank ID.
Every account at a house bank is represented by an account ID.

In the SAP system, you use the bank ID and the account ID to specify bank details. Bank ID and account ID are used, for example, for automatic payment transactions to determine the bank details for payment.

To create a house bank, you use this transaction. To create the house bank accounts, you use an SAP NetWeaver Business Client application. The account IDs are generated in the process. For more information, see Bank Account Management.
