2879569 - Bank Directory File Upload Cannot Update Existing Bank Branches

Symptom

You use Bank Directory Upload Template - Japan to update the existing bank AAA (AAA represents the Bank ID). Bank AAA has already maintained Assigned Branches information in the system.

After uploading the file, the system added a duplicated line of existing bank branch.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

  3. Click on New and select Bank Directory File Upload.
  4. Select Format as Japan Bank Directory Template.

  7. Click on Next.
  8. Click on Finish.
  9. System shows 'Your entries have been saved.'.
  10. Go to Bank Directory view and open Bank ID AAA.

Cause
