Mass update of Vendor Bank Chain assignment details

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to mass update Vendor Bank Chain  assignment details. I tried to use LSMW recording method for transaction FIBPU but it does not seems to be working if we have more than 2 bank keys for a vendor.

Can you please let me know the best way of handling this requirement.

Thanks in advance

Vijaya,

I can't look into this since bank chains aren't active where I am, but I think you'll get more results if you explain exactly what the problem is.

Good luck,

Hi Jeff,

I need to mass update the bank chain details for vendors. I am trying to use LSMW bath recording for
FIBPU transaction, but the problem is when the vendor has multiple bank keys there is no option to select  for each Vendor and bank key combination to record the bank chain assignment details. Just Wondering to see if we have any alternative way to mass update Vendor Bank chain details.

Steps to replicate the scenario

Step1: Execute transaction :FIBPU, then enter Vendor number and press F8

Step2: You will now see Vendor bank entries (LFBK table ), in this screen I don't have the option to select each vendor and bank key combination to loop in batch recording method when it has multiple entries.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks

Hello All,

I contacted SAP and they said it is not possible. Please see the reply below.

Dear VJ,

Unfortunately not. There are no batch input reports which can

maintain bank chains in background. The only possibility how to

maintain bank chains at the moment is only through dialog FIBPU.

Besides this, there is a technical limitation which is good to know

about it: because bank chains using view cluster technology, it's not

possible to use either transaction recorder or LSMW for a mass

upload of bank chains.

There are also no BAPIs or APIs which can be used to update data

in both tables.

Bank chains are used only in few countries and payment formats, that's

why there are not many ways of maintanance, only through dialog

transaction.

I'm sorry that I cannot give you a better reply,
