F2579 - These bank details/IBAN still have uncanceled SEPA mandates

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F2 - Master Data Maintenance: Customer, Vendor

• Message number: 579

• Message text: These bank details/IBAN still have uncanceled SEPA mandates

What causes this issue?

You want to change or delete bank details / an IBAN in the customer
master. However, SEPA mandates with statuses other than 4 (reversed), 5
(obsolete), or 6 (expired) still exist for these bank details / IBAN.

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?

If you want to delete the bank details entirely, first reverse all
related SEPA mandates and then proceed with deleting the bank details
(you do not need to reverse any obsolete or expired SEPA mandates).
If you want to change the IBAN but keep the existing SEPA mandates, you
need to activate the automatic transfer of bank data changes so that the
link to the SEPA mandates remains. Otherwise this connection is lost
when the IBAN is changed and the mandates can only be processed using
transaction FSEPA_M2 until a new IBAN is entered.
Alternatively, you can first create new bank details with the new IBAN
and manually change the IBAN in all the SEPA mandates that belong to the
old bank details. You can then delete the old bank details.

Procedure for System Administrators

You can activate the automatic transfer of bank data changes in
transaction <DS:TRAN.FI_APAR_SEPA_CUST>FI_APAR_SEPA_CUST</> by enabling
the parameter <DS:TX.SE_TRANSFER_BANK_DET>Transfer changed bank data
into mandate</>.
