Default Bank Account Shows Incorrect or is Missing when Invoicing

Problem

The correct bank account/s of a business partner does not appear by default when an invoice is assembled and/or incorrect business partner bank details are stated on the assembled innvoice/Statement of Account (SOA). How come and how can this be rectified?

Solution

If no bank account details appears by default when assembling an invoice/SOA or the incorrect bank account details appears the correct details have not been linked to the business partner and/or the proper default settings not set. Also, if the wrong bank style is stated on an invoice/SOA, the invoice has been posted with the wrong bank account. To recitfy, the correct bank details must be linked to the business partner.
