Well, the (german) bank code BLZ is not the same as the BIC/Swift address. The Swift address is an international code, whereas the german bank code BLZ is national. Nevertheless in germany the Swift usally isn't known or used for anything else then international transfers.
The BLZ is NNN NNN NN (just numbers identifying branches or bank divisions of all banks, loosely sorted by the region, e.g. 700 202 70 for HypoVereinsbank München, 70150000 for Stadtsparkasse München, 711 200 77 for Hypo Vereinsbank Prien (a little town near Munich)). The Siwft address is BBBBCCLLbbb (with BBBB = bank ID, CC = country code, LL = town ID, bbb = branch ID). So why is BLZ important? Well, really nobody uses Swift nationally and it's very likely you don't get the Swift-BIC of customers or suppliers at all. The german Postbank doesn't publish the Swift addresses of it's branches on it's website (if you're not a customer it may be hard to get it). So what can we do? What did anybody else in germany using OpenERP do?
