Procedure documentationDefining Bank Hierarchy

 

Bank Account Management gets the data of banks from the Bank (CA-BK) component. With Bank Account Management, you can have a hierarchical display of your banks. To enable the hierarchical display of banks, each bank should be maintained as a business partner with the proper relationship maintained.

Procedure

Before you start working with Bank Account Management, make sure you have properly maintained the relationship between banks and business partners.

  1. In transaction BP, check the business partners representing banks in terms of the following:

    • On the Identification tab, specify the fields under the Identification as Bank section.

    • If a business partner represents a subsidiary bank, specify it as a subsidiary of the business partner that represents the higher level bank by using relationship FFSB002 is subsidiary of.

      Note Note

      Do not use relationship TFSB002 Is parent company of. The system only supports relationship FFSB002 is subsidiary of.

      End of the note.

  2. To define the relationship between banks and business partners existing in the system, in transaction FCLM_BAM_BNKA_BP, maintain the linkages.

  3. For banks without a business partner in the system, do the following:

    1. In the bank hierarchy view, choose the Edit button.

    2. From the list, select a node under which you want to add the bank.

    3. Choose the Add Existing Bank button and specify the Bank Country and Bank Key of the bank to be added.

      After the bank is added to the hierarchy, the system automatically creates a business partner for the bank, maintains the business partner relationship accordingly, and establishes the linkage between the bank and business partner.
