Can we re-purpose an existing company code's bank account for multiple company codes?

[R_Pooja]

Hi,

We have a functional bank account with MBC connectivity and receive statements for the existing company code's transactions regularly. We now intend to use the same bank account and extend this to newer company codes. Is this allowed in system? What are the potential drawbacks of having this setup? While we checked few documentations which says this can be done by converting error message to warning, we would like to understand the impact of setting this up in terms of manual intervention required for bank statements on the new company codes/EBS setup issue, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pooja

Hi @R_Pooja， Do you mean you want to assign several house bank accounts with different company codes to one bank account? I wonder why you would prefer this approach instead of creating a new bank account. Could you please share more information about the use case here?

Technically it's possible via the message control configuration, as you mentioned. But there are also limitations as documented in the configuration help, for example, the following apps are not supported in this setup:

• Monitor Instant Balances

• Bank Statement Monitor - Intraday

• Manage Cash Pools (Version 2) for cash pools with the service provider Company - Time- Dependent 

FIN Cash Management
