Hi,

Poland, like the other european countries, is using so-called IBAN (International Bank Account Number). This is a long bank account number containing country code (first 2 characters), bank number and bank account number. SAP uses a special technique for these IBAN's: it stores the old account number in master data (also called BBAN: Basic Bank Account Number), and stores the translation from BBAN to IBAN in the TIBAN table.

You should search for notes and documentation by using 'IBAN' keyword.

If your system is already ready for IBAN, the master data for bank accounts should have an 'IBAN' column; this column contains an arrow. By clicking on this arrow, you get a new window for entering IBAN. There are also functions for converting BBAN to IBAN and IBAN to BBAN. For Poland, they are CONVERT_BANK_ACCOUNT_2_IBAN_PL and CONVERT_IBAN_2_BANK_ACCOUNT_PL.

Please note that the IBAN length in Poland is 28 and not 26. The first 2 characters should be 'PL'.

Hello Friends - I have referred the Notes you suggested. Note says there are 2 ways to maintain Bank account number.

Can you pls let me know the difference between Variant 1 - Traditional and Variant - NRB and how to decide in which way I should maintain Bank account number in my case.

Hello Friends - As suggested in Note 1585003, I have maintained Bank account number. After maintaining as below, House Bank still does not show IBAN.

I have maintained Bank Master FI01 - PL,11602202

In FI12, I have maintained first 18 digits in 951160220200000000 in Bank account number field and remaining 8 digits,6084923, in Reference field.

And maintained IBAN in FIBAN, Ctry(PL), Bank key (11602202), Bank Account (0000000060849231), CK (95), IBAN (PL95116022020000000060849231).

Pls let me know the possible reasons why IBAN is not shown in FI12.

Thanks
