• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI155 - BIC/IBAN enrichment: No BIC could be derived from IBAN &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI155 indicates that the system was unable to derive a Bank Identifier Code (BIC) from the provided International Bank Account Number (IBAN). This issue typically arises during processes that involve financial transactions or data enrichment where both IBAN and BIC are required.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid IBAN: The IBAN provided may be incorrectly formatted or invalid, which prevents the system from deriving the corresponding BIC.
  Missing Mapping: There may not be a mapping in the system that links the provided IBAN to a BIC. This can happen if the IBAN belongs to a bank that is not recognized in the system's database.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle IBAN to BIC conversions, or the necessary tables may not be populated with the required data.
  Country-Specific Issues: Some countries may not have a standardized way of deriving BIC from IBAN, leading to difficulties in the conversion process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify IBAN: Check the IBAN for correctness. Ensure that it is properly formatted and valid according to the standards of the issuing country.
  Update Mapping Tables: If the IBAN is valid but not recognized, you may need to update the mapping tables in SAP that link IBANs to BICs. This can involve adding new entries for banks that are not currently in the system.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to IBAN and BIC processing in your SAP system. Ensure that all necessary components are activated and that the system is set up to handle the required conversions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific instructions on how to manage IBAN and BIC mappings.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves complex configurations or custom developments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  IBAN Structure: Understand the structure of IBANs, which varies by country, to ensure that the IBANs being used are valid.
  BIC Codes: Familiarize yourself with BIC codes and how they are assigned to banks. BICs are often used in international transactions to identify banks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates to the mapping tables.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like OBPM1 (for managing bank master data) or OB52 (for managing financial periods) to check and update bank-related information.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your SAP system can successfully derive BICs from IBANs.
