Symptom

The error "Cannot check bank account/bank number" occurs in the Manage Supplier Master Data app or the Manage Customer Master Data app.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Supplier Master Data app or the Manage Customer Master Data app.
  2. Navigate to a business partner and open Bank Accounts.
  3. Edit an existing bank account and attempt to save.
  4. The system displays the error "Cannot check bank account/bank number" (Message No. AR140).

Cause

Bank Number is not maintained in the Manage Banks - Master Data app.

Resolution

Maintain the Bank Number field in the Manage Banks - Master Data app so that it matches the Bank Key value for that bank.

To prevent recurrence, set Bank Key Type to 1 in SSCUI 102592 - Set Country-Specific Checks. With Bank Key Type 1, the system automatically fills Bank Number with the Bank Key.
