This issue typically arises in scenarios where financial transactions or vendor/customer master data are being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid IBAN Format: The IBAN provided may not conform to the expected format or may contain invalid characters.

  Update Master Data: If the IBAN is correct but the system still cannot derive the bank key and account number, consider updating the vendor or customer master data with the correct bank details.
