Infotype 0009 - Bank Details

[Armin Karic]

Dear colleagues,

I am a SAP consultant from Germany and I work for a company with many subsidiaries in different countries. So, we would like to rollout the Mexican subsidiary into SAP HR and I already did some basic configuration.

I have some issues with the bank details in infotype 0009. I understand the CLAVE (or CLABE) system is used and contains the bank, branch, account and check number in one field. Does it mean that the bank key is not needed in IT9, because all information is contained in the CLABE number?

I tried to deactivate the field for the bank key - but no way. Also tried to check the module pool and some customizing in transaction OY17 and V_500_B etc. without luck. No matter what I do the system still asks for the bank key.

So how you did the setup for this Infotype? Or does your business put in bank key and bank account?

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
Armin
