What causes this issue?

The banking guidelines state that you can only use IBANs that have been
assigned by banks. Therefore, you are not permitted to generate IBANs in
the SAP System. To relieve the workload on the user, an IBAN is proposed
on the following screen from the data you have entered (bank key,
account number, ..). You have to compare this with the IBAN specified in
the correspondence from the business partner, change it if necessary,
and then confirm it.

How can this happen?

The value proposed by the system may be different from the real IBAN,
for example, if the bank makes the account number into ten characters by
adding zeros to the end. When the system creates the proposal, leading
zeros are added to the account number.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Confirm this information and then check the proposed IBAN.

countries. In the maintenance transaction for <DS:TRAN.FIBF>Business
