For example, you need to set up bank charges for the following situations:

1. A transfer within the same bank and branch: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch.

2. A transfer within the same bank, but between different branches: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Tokyo Bank, Shinjuku branch.

3. A transfer between different banks: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Kyoto Bank, Roppongi branch.

4. Another transfer between different banks: from Osaka Bank, Yokohama branch to Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch.

The most efficient way to set up these charges is to create records in the Bank Charges window as illustrated in the Bank Charge Setup Example table. Note that the last row in this table creates a default setting that is used any time the system cannot find a match (it corresponds to line 12 in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table).

2	bank	all branches	bank	all branches	2. Tokyo/Ginza to Tokyo/Shinjuku

The four rows in this table correspond to rows 1, 7, 9, and 12 in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table.

When trying to match each of these situations, the system first looks for an exact match on transferring and receiving bank and branch. In the case of situation 1, it finds such a match and quits searching. In the case of situations 2, 3, and 4, the system cannot find an exact match on transferring and receiving bank and branch, so it continues searching in the order illustrated in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table until it finds a match.
