House Banks are not created anymore within Transaction FI12 or accessible through the Payment Program config (FBZP). FI12 has been deprecated. Now you need to use Tcode FI12_HBANK. This can still be transported.
But you can no longer create the Bannk Account IDs or Bank Account numbers through the Payment Program anymore. In S/4 HANA you need to create the Account IDs through "Manage Bank Accounts" with the SAP Netweaver Business Client.
For this, you will need to have assigned in your configuration client to your user the SAP standard role SAP_SFIN_CASH_MANAGER. This will give you access to Bank Account Management.
Once assigned you will trigger it with Tcode NWBC.
*NWBC services might not be active in your environment. For this Basis needs to activate the service in SICF.
You will click in "Manage Bank Accounts"
Then you will click in "New Bank Account"
Fill in all the required information (*). Same as before S/4 the Bank Key needs to have been previously created in FI01 with all the branch address and data.
Here we put the
Co.Code, Name of the Account Holder, Bank country, Bank Key (transit created
previously), Account #, account description and account type.
<Save as Active><Edit>
<Connectivity Path>
<Add>
CAD is the Account ID
that we have assigned to the Account that we are creating.
Also we need to assign
the MAIN BANK GL ACCOUNT (The one that normally finishes with 00).
<Save as active>
Then we will see the newly created account in the list of Accounts.
This step needs to be
done in your Config Client (Ex DEV-200), but it is not a transportable step. So it
needs to be redone in every single environment. For that SAP has an EXPORT
process that will generate an XML file with the list of Bank Accounts IDs
created that will have to be imported in DEV-210 and in the future in QA and
PROD.
It is important to
keep that XML file and do not modify it internally. If necessary the XML can be
generated again going back to the DEV-200 and repeating the EXPORT process that
is coming in the next steps.
Here we will EXPORT and generate the XML file that contains the accounts.
Import Bank Accounts in DEV-210 (also applicable for QA and PROD
once we will do that)
Log in DEV-210 and
Execute NWBC (make sure you close the other NWBC Explorer window as you can
easily get confused between the two environments). Remember that you will need to have assigned in your configuration client to your user the SAP standard role SAP_SFIN_CASH_MANAGER in DEV-210.
You will <Select File> and always play safe by doing "Import with Test Run". This way it will not import but it will check the data and tell you if there are any errors.
If you do not have
errors within your newly created Bank Accounts, then import with the
“overwrite” option activated. There might be some errors within other accounts
that come standard, ignore those errors.
Then you will get
results like this after the IMPORT.
Once you have finished your XML IMPORT, your Bank Account ID will be created. To verify this you can check the newly created entries in Table T012K.
** Remember that this XML Import process need to be repeated in every client and environment, therefore you should include this as part of your cut-over / client preparation manual activities.
