3774815 - Bank details does not have an account number when only IBAN is maintained

Symptom

In app "Manage Automatic Payments", creating a payment proposal raises an exception.
Error message in the payment proposal log: "Bank details [country] / [bank key] / [IBAN] does not have an account number".

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the app "Manage Automatic Payments".
  2. Create a payment run/proposal for business partners whose bank details contain only an IBAN.
  3. Execute the proposal and the system throws the error "Bank details [country] / [bank key] / [IBAN] does not have an account number".

Cause

The configuration activity "Set Up Payment Methods for Each Country/Region for Payment Transactions" (ID: 101972) for the relevant country/region and payment method has "Account Number Required" selected.
Business partner bank details contain only an IBAN, so the system expects an account number and raises the exception.

Resolution

  1. Open configuration "Set Up Payment Methods for Each Country/Region for Payment Transactions" (ID: 101972).
  2. Select the affected country/region and payment method.
  3. Deselect "Account Number Required".
  4. Alternatively, maintain a bank account number in the business partner’s bank details if keeping "Account Number Required" is desired.
