Company Code: Since you have entered it when you determined work area
for your company code earlier, the system will enter your company code as the
default.
House Bank: Enter your house bank ID in this field. You can enter up to five
digits as your house bank ID. This ID will enable you to identify this bank
account, especially when you have multiple house banks. The house bank ID is
also entered in the bank account G/L account master data and customer/vendor
master record for the automatic payment program.
Bank Country: Enter your country ID (for example, for Great Britain, you
would enter GB). This is a predefined key supplied by SAP in the system. The
importance of the bank country ID is that it allows you to identfy your house
bank country. The country ID also forms part of the IBAN and SWIFT numbers
for international payments.

branch. This key is very important as it forms part of the IBAN and SWIFT

designated by the bank to your account.
