C_TS4FI Financial Accounting Practice Question
A financial accountant is configuring a new house bank in SAP S/4HANA Bank Accounting. The company has multiple bank accounts with the same bank. Which organizational element must be created to represent each individual bank account?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the house bank (the bank itself) with the bank account ID (the individual account). Many assume that creating a house bank is sufficient, but multiple accounts require multiple bank account IDs.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Bank Account ID
In SAP S/4HANA Bank Accounting, a house bank represents a bank with which the company has accounts. For each individual bank account at that bank, you create a bank account ID. The bank account ID is the unique identifier within the house bank and is linked to the bank account number and the corresponding G/L account. This allows the system to manage multiple accounts per house bank.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Bank Account ID
Why this is correct
Within a house bank, you create bank account IDs to represent each individual bank account. Each bank account ID is linked to a specific bank account number and a general ledger account. This allows the system to differentiate between multiple accounts held at the same bank. The bank account ID is used in payment programs and bank statement processing to identify the correct account.
- ✗
Bank Key
Why it's wrong here
The bank key is a country-specific identifier for a bank, such as a routing number in the US or a bank code in other countries. It is used to identify the bank itself, not an individual account. You assign the bank key when creating a house bank, but it does not represent a specific bank account.
- ✗
Payment Method
Why it's wrong here
Payment methods define how payments are made, such as check, wire transfer, or ACH. They are not used to represent individual bank accounts. While a payment method is assigned to a bank account, it is a separate configuration and does not serve as the identifier for the account itself.
- ✗
House Bank
Why it's wrong here
The house bank represents the company's own bank, such as a specific financial institution. It is the top-level organizational unit for bank accounts. However, a house bank can have multiple bank accounts; each individual account is represented by a bank account ID. Therefore, the house bank alone does not represent each individual bank account.
