Maintaining Basic Data 

Use

As basic data you maintain the base data of the account, for example, assigned business partners or the account currency.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Identification section, enter the currency in which the account is to be managed, the account description, and the search terms. The account description is normally the name of the account holder, but can be freely chosen. You can also freely choose the search terms. They later serve as search help for accounts.

       2.      In the Administration section, specify the status of the account. The current status is displayed. Prerequisite for this is that you have stored the possible statuses in Customizing for Bank Customer Accounts (BCA) by choosing Master Data ® Account ® Define Status.

You activate the account by using the Status field.

You can also specify that the customer must be informed when the account master data is modified by setting the Print Change Correspondence indicator. The system calls the Business Transaction Event (BTE) 00011060 when you save the changes. You must implement the BTE to use this function.

       3.      In the Notes section you can record comments and events for this account. You can create the notes in different languages and have the notes that are already created displayed, either in a short overview or long overview.

       4.      In the Account Holder section, define the account holder.

Assigning affiliated business partners to the account:

Note that at this point you can only assign business partners who have been created in the role of account holder. Selecting the F4 help brings you to a search screen that helps you search for existing business partners.

Creating business partners during account assignment:

If the business partner you wish to use as account holder has not yet been created, you can do this by choosing  with the quick info text Create Business Partner. On the following screen, enter the appropriate data, and save your entries.

       5.      In the Other Business Partners section, create business partners in the role of authorized drawer and account maintenance officer. In this section you can, of course, define other business partners in different roles (for example, contact person). You can use business partners who are already created or create new business partners.

Enter the proof of identity for the business partners on the Identification tab page of the business partner maintenance screen.

Result

You have maintained the basic data for the account.
