SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 67 - Loans Messages - Financial Assets Management

• Message number: 138

• Message text: Pmnt method &1 is for incoming payments - maintain bank details ID

What causes this issue?

The payment method &V1& entered is intended for incoming payments. In
order to avoid problems in subsequent functions, you should also enter
the partner bank details ID.
If no partner bank details ID is entered, the partner bank will be
determined by the payment program. In this case, problems would occur ,
for example when FI documents are created if the validation described
below is active.
In FI it is possible to activate a validation on a company
code-specific basis via IMG (in Release 3.0) or via Customizing (in
Release 2.2) which checks in direct debit-relevant payment methods
whether the partner bank details are entered in the document. If this
validation check is active an error would occur if the partner bank
details ID was missing. For this reason, you should enter the partner
bank details ID.
