(CAN, DEU, GBR, and USA) Field-Specific Information
- Bank Transit Number
Enter the bank transit number using an asterisk and the two-letter code followed by the numeric code. For example, enter *BL12345. For other foreign suppliers, enter the code without an asterisk.
For domestic suppliers with Bankgiro or Postgiro accounts, enter an asterisk. For domestic suppliers whom you want to pay directly to a bank account, enter the bank transit number (clearingnumber) for the bank.
- Bank Account Number
The routing or transit number is normally a part of the bank account number. Sometimes the number cannot be distinguished from the bank account number. If so, use the address number for the supplier, and include an asterisk before the figures. Enter the full account number (including the bank transit number) in this field.
