Having SWIFT code mandatory in SLP

Hello community,

We are looking to make the SWIFT code mandatory in SLP bank repeatable section. We received response from support that this was not possible. We are now looking at other options e.g. having SWIFT code & IBAN outside the bank repeatable section. If you faced a similar issue in the past we would appreciate sharing how you worked around this limitation.

Kind regards,

Louis

Hi Louis, 

We currently have the same need, I wanted to know if since you opened the SR until today you have been able to manage it, that is, have you been able to make the SWIFT field mandatory for the supplier? And if so, could you give us advice on how to activate it?

Thanks you.

Hello Diana,

It's been a while since we tackled this issue. We were not able to make the SWITFT code mandatory but we did not need it in the end as we were able to derive the SWIFT code from a table in the ERP.

Kind regards,

Louis

HCurrently in my company, if they do not indicate tello Luis, he SWIFT and only the bank key, you have to look for the SWIF key outside of ERP (online) and then enter it by hand. How have you done it in this case, with what ERP table was it? If you could tell me, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards. Diana

The table in SAP with the SWIFT codes is BNKA. The right SWIFT code is derived via the IBAN.

Thanks a lot Louis. But one last additional question. The BNKA table is the one we currently use, but to enter the SWIFT field from finance if you are not informed by the supplier in this case of ARIBA when they indicate their IBAN account number, I understand that you extract the SWIFT manually, because only with the IBAN it is not possible to obtain the SWIFT. When there are cases where the bank key is not created in the BNKA table, I understand that you will do the search for the SWIFT field manually, right? Or do you have another way? hence our insistence with ARIBA to make the SWIFT field for the supplier mandatory so as not to have to look for it ourselves in case it was a new bank key that we did not already have in our BNKA table. Thank you very much for everything in advance. Greetings

I'm not a bank expert but the way I understand it, if the bank key is missing that means that the bank is not in your MD and therefore it should first be added to the table before adding supplier bank accounts linked to that bank.
