3. Select the file to be

uploaded.

4. Choose Open.

The File structure has been

selected for you.

The Country Key selection

option restricts the quantity
of data imported from the file
to the countries that you
specify.

For example, you can use

this to split the countries into
groups for processing in
multiple program runs with

different import parameters.

If you do not specify a

country, the system
processes all the data
records from the file whose
ISO country code matches
the two-character ISO
country code of a country set
up in the SAP system.

The Bank key when type 4

parameter controls which
data (fields) is used from the
file as the bank key if the
bank key type 4 (assigned
externally) is set for the
relevant country in the
country-specific checks.

Ensure that the Test run (no

update) checkbox is
deslected. This is to ensure
that the data in the database
is updated when you
execute the report.

In a test run, the system

processes the data and
displays the planned
changes in a list. The
database is not updated.

Select the SEPA mode

(IBAN BIC) checkbox if you
plan to transfer funds to a
country as a SEPA payment
only.

If you select the Use IBAN

country code checkbox, the
system uses the IBAN
country code for the bank
assignment.

If you select the Branch

code XXX for HQ checkbox,
the system uses the dummy
branch code XXX from the
file to increase the 8-
character BIC to the full 11
characters; for example,
NDEASESSXXX.

If you do not select this

checkbox, the system
transfers the BIC without the
branch identifier; for
example, NDEASESS. This
parameter does not affect
the full 11-character BICs.
These are always
transferred in full; for
example, NDEASESSA21.
You can use this parameter,
for example, to also import a

where the dummy ID XXX is
not used. This avoids
duplicate entries where one
has the XXX ID and the
other does not.

If you select the Mark for

deletion checkbox, the
system flags banks for
deletion that are no longer
valid in the SAP system.

5. Choose Execute.

The list of changes in the

bank master displays.
