Signatories in the Manage Bank Accounts Fiori app

What is the Manage Bank Accounts Fiori app

As discussed in the previous unit, the Manage Bank Accounts Fiori app is a tool within the SAP S/4HANA system, primarily designed to streamline and digitalize the management of bank account data.

The app enables users to:

  • Create and maintain banks and their associated accounts.
  • View, edit, display, and monitor bank account information.
  • Track changes made to the bank accounts.

This solution provides transparency, security, and efficiency for managing bank details in a company.

How do you Edit a Signatory Setting in the Manage Bank Accounts app

The Manage Bank Accounts Fiori app allows you to edit signatories in the system.

The image shows the Manage Bank Accounts interface in SAP, featuring various fields for filtering bank account information. Users can search by criteria such as Account Number, Account Currency, Account Status, Bank Key, IBAN, Company Code, and more. Options to import/export bank accounts and manage bank account hierarchies are available at the top, with buttons for Go, Clear, and Adapt Filters at the bottom.

After selecting specific criteria such as company code, account number, and bank key, choose the bank account where you want to edit a signatory setting. Then, select Go.

The image shows the Manage Bank Accounts screen in SAP, listing five bank accounts with their descriptions, currencies, account numbers, and statuses. The accounts include Bank 1 Giro in EUR and USD, Current Account EUR, Dummy text, and Bank 3 Giro, with most statuses marked as 02 (Active). The interface also includes options for importing/exporting bank accounts, managing bank account hierarchies, and analyzing cash flow.

Select the relevant account to edit a signatory setting and go to its details on the right side. From there, navigate to the Payment Approvers tab, and choose Edit.

The image shows a screenshot of the SAP Bank Account module, specifically the Payment Approvers tab for Bank 1 Giro. It lists various payment approvers, their groups, IDs, full names, and details such as unlimited approval status, maximum amounts for payment and batch, and validity dates. Tabs for other functionalities like General Data, Bank Relationship, and Overdraft Limits are also visible.

Select the payment approver group and enter the payment approver. Eventually, you have to enter multiple approver groups (Group1 and Group2 for example), as the payment approval has been set up as a sequence of a 2-step approval (for example 4-eyes principle).

Check the following settings if applicable:

  • Unlimited amount
  • Maximum amount for payment
  • Maximum amount for batch
  • Valid From
  • Valid To

Finally, save the changes.
