Summary :
This SAP note addresses the issue of business partner bank account numbers exceeding 18 digits, common in certain countries. For SAP systems, these numbers cannot be wholly saved in the designated bank account number field, but are required for Data Medium Exchange (DME) processes. The note provides instructions for using both the 'Bank Account Number' and 'Reference specifications for bank details' fields to accommodate the full account number. This solution supplements existing notes 96624, 115002, and 98027, and includes specific field usage recommendations for countries such as Cyprus, Croatia, and others, ensuring compliance with local bank formats.
