What causes this issue?

The system enables the user to display or maintain the house banks
across multiple company codes. For more information, see SAP Note
2440619.
To avoid long response times when starting the transaction, you can only
use this option if you have authorization for fewer than 1,000 house
bank accounts.

System Response

The system informs you that you must select a company code to display or
maintain the house banks due to the large number of house bank accounts.

How to fix this error?

You can influence this system behavior as follows:
If you always want to select a company code, you can specify this by
assigning the value X to the <DS:TRAN.SU3>user parameter</> FI12_OLD.
Then you will no longer receive this message.
If you always want to call cross-company code display or maintenance,
you can specify this by assigning a threshold value to the <DS:TRAN.SU3>
user parameter</> FI12_THRESHOLD. If the number of house bank accounts
for which you are authorized is smaller than this threshold value,
selection of the company code is suppressed. If it is larger, you must
select a company code.

Procedure for System Administrators

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