Is it okay for me to use the same house bank ID for two different company under one controlling area?

Will there no any complications?

Really need to verify this.

House banks are created at compnay code level.  Hence  there can  be same house bank in two different code. So absolutely no problem.

Can we have same house bank for 2 different company codes in 2 different countries.

I think it is not possible since CURRENCY (eg- USD and CAD) management in bank accounts/sub accounts and DME output file can be issues of concern.

Any thoughts on this.

Probabely my reply was not properely  communicated. The question was can  we create same house bank id for 2 different  compnay codes.

By saying "YES" what I  mean  to say, let me explain  through  example.

Suppose " 0100" company code. You  have created HDFC house bank  and  Bank id "CC".
Same house bank  and bank id , can  also be creatd in  company code "0200" also. Although as company config, you can  have different currency, sub acccount structure  in different companies.In short I mean to say same house bank id can be used in different company codes without causing problems.

I  hope I am  very clear on this issue.

Each company will  have it;s own   DME file. Hence I could not see no  problem. If any specific, can you explain in details with example.

I think two diff co codes will definetly have 2 diff bank accounts. Hence it is better if you have 2 diff house banks since the GL accounts are finally attached to the house banks.

I thank you for this discussion.
Yes, I  think I will write down my thoughts as well.

As the house bank is attached to country code and company code I feel the currency vehicle (attached to country code - and also look at at value date in bank selection in FBZP - auto payment program config )for making payment using the housebank is primarily the currency of country/company code that it is attached to.

So I strongly believe when we run F110 (auto paymnt run) it will settle invoices to be paid in company  code currency (please remember GR/IR account assignment with other G/L accounts).

Looking into this scenario, I believe that we should have a separate house banks (I mean domestic house bank -with bank key and bank number) for each company code that belongs to 2 different countries. This only looks possible in SAP to make it to suit to the currency vehicle that company code is attached with.

However the payments can be posted and paid in foreign currencies as well.

Also let us also remember that SAP makes it possible to set up foreign house banks with SWIFT code being mandatory in its field.
