res_partner bank - IBAN must check for SWIFT/BIC in res_bank

[Ferdinand]

IMHO
entering IBAN in res_partner_bank requires that SWIFT/BIC exists for the associated bank.
if not it is not possible to create valid payments.

it must be checked at data entry time.

similar for bank_account

Hello,

I have checked this issue, "BIC/Swift code" should be required when we will install base_iban module so I think Improvement should be done from base_iban module.

Thanks.

Just want to remind that not all banks might need BIC/SWIFT, only those which are used together with partner/IBAN account.

I do not know how this will affect other countries.

may be ask on the experts list

Hello Ferdinand,

Thanks for reporting.

We have made quite R & D on IBAN with BIC/SWIFT. As per our study it shows that an IBAN is used in conjunction with a BIC (Bank Identifier Code). So can we put constraint or warning message to user, when Bank Type is IBAN in res.partner.bank and BIC/SWIFT is empty in res.bank.

So, before committing above solution we request accounting expert team to check and give suggestions on the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Devnani Bharat R.

at the same time I suggest to print/display the IBAN in groups of 4 charcaters - users have considerable difficulties to compare unformatted IBAN strings of up to 27characters on screen with IBAN printed on documents. mostly I see them moving the cursor along while they read on document.
not having this is maximum user unfriendlyness.

see here for a formatter I used in v5, but beeing unable to implement it in v6 yet because I (dur to my limited python knowledge) do not know how to inherit base_iban/base_iban.py
def _format_iban(string):
