SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RP - Error Messages for Infotype Module Pools

• Message number: 629

• Message text: Enter only one payee bank with country key &

What causes this issue?

The payee key identifies the person who is to receive the payments.
The payment method depends on the country key which in turn is based on
the bank entered for the payee and the payment key. However, since
payments are made from the country of the employee's company code, the
payment method for the company code country is also decisive. In the
present situation, the country key of the employee's company code is
different from that of the payee bank, and the system does not know
which one to use for payment.

How to fix this error?

Please use the payee key for payee banks with the same country key
as the employee's company code. Make the necessary corrections in the
payee table.
