In this article I am trying to demonstrate the bank related changes and the impact SAP S/4 HANA 2020.
The S/4HANA new release came up with simplified solution to minimizing the bank GL accounts and introducing additional configurations for the payments.
Until SAP S/4 HANA 1909 Vs SAP S/4 HANA 2020:
SAP S/4 HANA 1909:
We used to create a new set of G/L accounts for newly created house bank accounts and used to have a different main bank account for each bank account and similarly different set of Bank Clearing Accounts.
SAP S/4 HANA 2020:
In SAP S/4 HANA 2020, there are 2 ways of creating the required sets of G/L Accounts. You can follow either the new method or the old one.
New Method- One Set of G/L Accounts for multiple house bank accounts:
As per the new method, we can create a bank reconciliation account (Main Bank Account) that can be assigned to multiple house bank accounts.
Mentioning the Bank G/L related changes below:
