3732475 - Enforce exactly 11-character swift/bic in bank master data app Manage Banks – Master Data (F6437) in s/4hana cloud public edition

Symptom

  • Maintain a 11 character swift code for bank master data; entering more than 11 characters shows "Property '&' at offset '&' has invalid value '&'", and entering fewer than 8 characters does not raise an error.
  • Setting the SWIFT/BIC code to exactly 11 characters is by default doable by SAP Public Cloud or not?
  • Error message SWIFT code DRESQ1RTS must be of length 8 or 11

Environment

Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Banks – Master Data app (F6437).
  2. Create a new bank and enter a SWIFT/BIC with more than 11 characters; attempt to save and observe the error message.
  3. Enter a SWIFT/BIC with fewer than 8 characters; attempt to save and observe that no error is raised.

Cause

The SWIFT/BIC field is excluded from the FCLM_BAM_BANK_CUST_VALIDATION BAdI and there is no BAdI implementation available to validate SWIFT/BIC length; therefore, enforcing an exact length (for example, exactly 11 characters) is not supported.

Resolution

  1. By default the system accepts 8 or 11 characters and rejects values longer than 11.
  2. SWIFT code "Max Length=11".
  3. Use the Manage Banks – Master Data (F6437) app to maintain SWIFT/BIC.
  4. There is no available BAdI to implement custom length validation for the SWIFT/BIC field in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.
  5. If your business requires enforcing exactly 11 characters, submit an improvement request via SAP Customer Influence for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.
