• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AR035 - You cannot use a SEPA bank with only an IBAN and no account number ?

  The SAP error message AR035 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) bank account in the system. Specifically, it states that you cannot use a SEPA bank account that only has an IBAN (International Bank Account Number) without an associated account number.

  Missing Account Number: The primary cause of this error is that the bank account configuration in SAP is incomplete. SEPA mandates that a valid bank account must include both an IBAN and an account number.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Bank Account Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the bank account settings in SAP.
  Ensure that both the IBAN and the account number are correctly entered and saved.
  If the account number is missing, add it to the bank account configuration.
  
  
  
  Review SEPA Settings:
  
  Ensure that the SEPA settings in your SAP system are correctly configured to handle bank accounts with IBANs and account numbers.
  Check if the bank account type is set to SEPA and that all required fields are filled out.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on configuring SEPA bank accounts.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting to process a transaction that uses the SEPA bank account to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
