Chapter 9 ■ Defining the House Bank
■■Note
the algorithm you can use for outgoing checks are listed here:
• 011 – This algorithm is used for outgoing checks when the check number is
different from the payment document number. This is the case when the bank uses
prenumbered checks. The check numbers are therefore obtained from the bank
statement in the house bank, and the appropriate document numbers are identified by
the algorithm using the check number.
• 012 – This algorithm is used when the same document number is used as a check
number. Check forms not containing numbers are printed with the document numbers
in the system when making check payments. This number is therefore used to
reference the payments.
• 013 – This algorithm can be used in both cases described in the preceding 011 and
012 items.

In the next activity, you will define variants for manual bank statements by copying the standard variant
supplied by SAP and modifying it to meet your requirements. In SAP ERP, only one variant can be activated
at a time. You will learn how to deactivate the variant you are not using and then activate a variant you want
to use.
Define Variants for Manual Bank Statements
SAP supplies a standard variant (SAP01) as the default. A variant allows you to adapt the selection of
account assignment fields supplied by SAP to your company code-specific requirements. Only minimum
modification is allowed for this standard variant, but you can use it for your manual bank statement.
You can copy the standard variant (SAP01) and modify it to meet your company’s specific requirements.
To customize these variants, follow this menu path: Financial Accounting (New) ➤ Bank Accounting ➤
Business Transaction ➤ Payment Transactions ➤ Manual Bank Statement ➤ Define Variants for Manual
Bank Statement. Or you can use transaction code OT43.
■■Note
if you choose not to use the standard variant supplied by SAP, but instead decide to create your
own, you must deactivate the standard variant SAP01 and then activate your own variant. You will learn how to
activate and deactivate variants later in this chapter.
The Maintain Screen Variant: List screen is displayed. This is where you define variants for manual
bank statement. Since you are copying the standard variant supplied by SAP in the system, click the Copy
button at the top of the screen. The Copy Variant screen pops up (Figure 9-16). Enter the variant you want to
copy (SAP01) in the From Variant field and enter your own variant identifier key in the To Variant field. Then
click the Enter button to confirm your request. This action will allow you to copy the properties of the
standard variant (SAP01) to your variant (C900).
