A bank identification (ID) number identifies the bank with which you have established an account. The bank ID number is included in the customer information that you remit for processing accounts receivable drafts and EFT payments.
You activate bank ID validation routines for these countries by setting up the localization country code in your user profile:
Belgium
France
Finland

Spain
Completing the Localization Country Code field on the User Profile Revisions form causes the system to search for a bank ID validation routine, but the validation routine to use is not specified. For example, if you specify Belgium in the Localization Country Code field, you can still validate bank IDs for other countries. When you use the Bank Account Cross-Reference program (P0030A), the system uses the value in the Country field on the Mailing tab on the Address Book Revision form to determine which validation to use for the address book record.
The system validates bank code numbers and bank branch codes when you enter bank IDs into the Bank Account Cross-Reference program or the Bank Account Information (P0030G) program. The system identifies the customers whose bank information is invalid with an error message.
You can check for missing bank information for customers by running the Bank Account Validation program (R00314).
The system validates account and bank identification information throughout the draft process:
Process | Function |
|---|---|
A/R Batch Draft Creation (R03B671) | The system prints an error report that lists customers with missing or invalid bank information. You can review the list to correct or update the bank information before you generate the drafts. |
Draft Remittance (R03B672) | When you remit drafts, the system validates bank information again and includes the drafts for all of the specified customers in the electronic bank file. The system prints an error report that lists the customers with missing or invalid bank information. |
