R1228 - Details

  • Error Code: R1228

    Error Message: Bank details &1 &2 &3 in the validity period are not unique


    Summary

    This error indicates that the bank details entered for a vendor, customer, or employee are duplicated within the same validity period. SAP requires bank details to be unique for each entity during overlapping validity dates to avoid payment processing conflicts.


    Root Causes

    • Duplicate bank account entries for the same vendor/customer/employee with overlapping validity dates.
    • Incorrect or missing validity period dates causing SAP to interpret multiple bank details as active simultaneously.
    • Data migration or manual master data maintenance errors leading to repeated bank details.
    • Lack of proper checks during bank master data creation or update.
