Setting Up UDCs for Switzerland

Setting up Switzerland-specific UDCs enables you to use Switzerland-specific functionality. You also set up some base software UDCs with Switzerland-specific values.

Setting Up UDCs for Payment Processing for Switzerland

Set up these UDCs to process payments:

Upload Text Program (03B/UP)

You set up the Upload Text Program UDC to specify the program that you use to upload text files from the Text File Processor program (P007101) to the F03B13Z1 table. To upload text files for ESR payment slip processing, specify R03B803 (Upload ESR Payments).

Bank Type Codes (00/BT)

In addition to setting up this UDC with standard values. For Switzerland, you must set up a bank type code for the Supplier Post Office Account, Bank Post Office Account, Supplier Bank Account, and Supplier ESR (Einzahlungsschein) Identification Account.

Swiss SOG Countries/Currencies (74/SS)

Set up valid country and currency combinations for each country that uses the Create A/P Post Office File-Swiss SOG program (R04572S3). When you set up UDC 74/SS, you need to consider:

• The first three characters of the Description 01 field are used for the country code that is required for SOG payments in record types 12, 14, and 25.

  The dash followed by the country description is for information only.

• The values in the Description 02 field are the foreign record types that are enabled for the country and currency combination.

  The system verifies whether this combination is valid. If you try to write a payment group with a different country and currency combination, the system displays an error message.

• The Special Handling Code field contains the two-digit country code that is assigned by the Swiss Post Office.

  The two-digit country code should be used in the foreign record types 12, 14, and 25.

Setting Up Payment Formats for Switzerland

This section provides an overview of payment formats for Switzerland, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set up processing options for:

• Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss (R04572S2).

• Create A/P Post Office File - Swiss SOG (R04572S3).

Understanding Payment Formats for Switzerland

In Switzerland, two payment systems are widely used by companies:

• The electronic funds transfer system (Datenträgeraustausch [DTA]), which is supported by the banking sector (Telekurs, Payserv).

• The Service des Ordres Groupés (SOG) system, which is supported by the Swiss Post Office (Postfinance).

Before you process automatic payments, you assign payment print programs to payment instruments. You also review and revise, if necessary, the processing options for the formats used by the print programs.

The payment print program that you assign to a payment instrument launches the version of the payment format when you process payments. For example, P04572S2 launches the R04572S2 program. To make changes to the processing options for the payment formats, access them from the Batch Versions program (P98305), entering R instead of P in the first position of the name of the payment format program. The processing options further define the format of each component of a payment instrument.

DTA Payment Format

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss program (P04572S2) to process electronic funds transfers (Datenträgeraustausch [DTA]) according to the standards established by the Swiss banking sector. You can use the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss program to process both domestic and foreign fund transfers. You complete processing options to identify which formats to process. Formats within the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss program are:

You can run each DTA format (826, 827, or 830) independently, creating a separate diskette for each payment format. You can also run two or more formats simultaneously in the same A/P Payment Tape (F04572OW) table.

To indicate which DTA formats you are processing, set up a unique payment instrument for each payment format (826, 827, and 830) that you are using. You set up payment instruments using processing option 1 of the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss program (R04572S2).

For example, if you were processing both VESR and non-VESR domestic payments (826 and 827) in a single batch, you enter payment instrument numbers on the first and second lines of processing option 1. If your company uses only domestic payments with VESR processing, you enter a payment instrument number on only the first line of processing option 1 (for format 826).

These fields are required for format 826 - domestic payments format for Switzerland:

• Clearing Bank Account

• Beneficiary Bank Account Number

• First and Last Name of the Beneficiary

• Supplemental Identification of the Beneficiary

• Postal Routing Number of the Beneficiary

• Sender's Identification Number

• First and Last Name of the Payer

• Payer Supplemental Identification

• Date of Payment

• Invoice Reference

• Payment Amount

These fields are required for format 827 - domestic payments format (Post or Bank) for Switzerland:

• Clearing Bank Account

• Beneficiary Bank Account Number

• First and Last Name of the Beneficiary

• Supplemental Identification of the Beneficiary

• Postal Routing Number of the Beneficiary

• Sender's Identification Number

• First and Last Name of the Payer

• Payer Supplemental Identification

• Date of Payment

• Supplier Reference

• Payment Amount

These fields are required for format 830 - foreign payments (foreign currency or CHF) format for Switzerland:

• Bank Clearing Number

• Beneficiary Bank Account Number

• First and Last Name of the Beneficiary

• Supplemental Identification of the Beneficiary

• Postal Routing Number of the Beneficiary

• Sender's Identification Number

• First and Last Name of the Payer

• Payer Supplemental Identification

• Transaction Currency

• SWIFT Address

• Date of Payment

• Invoice Reference

• Beneficiary Bank

SOG Payment Format

The Create A/P Post Office File - Swiss SOG payment program (R04572S3) is similar to the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Swiss program (R04572S2) that you use for DTA, but it contains more record types. The record types for the SOG and the DTA are similar in content, even though the payment file layout differs.

The Create A/P Post Office File - Swiss SOG program supports these SOG record layouts for domestic payments:

• Record type 05

  Transfer to Supplier Post Account

• Record type 08

  Transfer with ESR/BVR Identification number.

• Record type 11

  Postal transfer order (no account numbers).

The Accounts Payable print program supports these SOG record layouts for foreign payments:

• Record type 12

  Payment to Post account to foreign countries (PostGiro).

• Record type 14

  Post transaction to foreign country in CHF or foreign currency (PostCash).

• Record type 25

  Payment to foreign bank.

Payments with IBAN

To process payments with IBAN:

• Set up IBAN in the Bank Account Cross-Reference (P0030A) program for the each supplier you pay in foreign currency.

  See Setting Up Supplier Bank Accounts.

• Set up a payment instrument for bank transfers with IBAN in the 00/PY UDC table.

  You also set up payment instruments for the other bank formats for which you process vouchers.

  See Entering Supplier Master Information.

• Assign the payment instrument to the suppliers in the Supplier Master Information (P04012) program.

• Complete the processing options for the Create A/P Bank Diskette – Swiss program to specify the payment instrument for each bank format you want to process.

  You must specify a payment instrument for the 836 bank format to process payments with IBAN.

When you generate payments using the Create A/P Bank Diskette – Swiss program, the system uses the standard bank account number for bank formats 826, 827, and 830, and uses the IBAN for bank format 830.

Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

• To subscribe to the SOG system, request membership from the Post Office. Upon acceptance, you receive your account number, which is called a SOG Member ID. This identification number needs to be set up in the Bank Transit Master table (F0030) for the company address book record (account type G - GL Bank Account GLBA) for the Account to Debit and for the Account to Debit for Taxes.

• Set up the Swiss SOG Countries/Currencies (74/SS) UDC.
