Bank Determination for Payment Transactions<br />

Chapter 14 ■ Defining FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable<br />

Normally, companies have more than one bank account from which payments are made. The specifications<br />

you make in the Bank Determination for Payment Transactions section allow you to prioritize which bank<br />

accounts should be used when making payments. If there aren’t sufficient funds to make a payment in<br />

the first bank account, the system will use the second bank account you specify, and so on. First, you have<br />

to specify the ranking order for the bank accounts. Secondly, you have to specify the house banks that<br />

payments are made from and the subaccounts that those payments are posted to. Third, you have to specify<br />

the available funds in each of the bank accounts. Finally, you may want to specify the value date, which<br />

defines the maximum number of days between the payment run and the bank value date within which<br />

payment should be made, as well as expenses/charges (includes fees/charges). This last step is not covered<br />

in this exercise, because value date is used by default and expenses/charges are rarely used in payment<br />

program.<br />

■■Note<br />

before you start customizing bank determination for payment transactions, make sure that the house<br />

banks you are applying to your payment transaction have been defined. You can see how to define a house<br />

bank in Chapter 9.<br />

Figure 14-30. House bank payment ranking order<br />

The first step is to specify the bank ranking order for payment purposes.<br />

Ranking Order<br />

Payments are made in order of ranking from your house bank by the payment program. The system will<br />

check the bank account with the highest priority for sufficient funds. If there are enough funds, payment will<br />

be made from the first house bank in order of ranking. If there are insufficient funds in the first house bank,<br />

the system will check the second house bank for sufficient funds and make payment from the house bank if<br />

it has sufficient funds.<br />
