3661641 - Unable to assign existing bank accounts to new company code due to fixed logical key in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• The system does not allow assigning the same account number and bank key combination to more than one company code in the Manage Bank Accounts app.
• Error message: "Bank account already exists (technical ID …)".
• Logical key (Bank Country + Bank Key + Account Number + Currency) is fixed and cannot be changed, preventing differentiation of accounts per company code.
• After company code split the bank account needs to be assigned to a new company code.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the Manage Bank Accounts app.
2. Attempt to assign an existing bank account (with the same account number and bank key combination) to a new company code.
3. Observe the error message: "Bank account already exists (technical ID …)".

• Due to organizational changes and company code split, the same bank account needs to be assigned to a new company code. However, the fixed logical key in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition prevents assigning the same account to multiple company codes.

1. Close the existing bank account.
2. Do not delete the bank account.
3. Copy the closed bank account to create a new bank account with the correct company code.
4. Transfer the balances from the old bank account to the new bank account.
