This chapter contains the following topics:

3.1 Setting Up UDCs for the Netherlands

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

3.1.1 Setting Up UDCs for Bank Accounts in the Netherlands

Before you set up bank accounts, set up these UDCs.

3.1.1.1 Article Number Code (74/AN)

Set up article number codes to identify the goods bought and sold by the transit trader. This code is assigned by the DNB (Netherlands Central Bank) to transit traders. Examples of article numbers include:

  • 00: Livestock

  • 03: Fish

  • 11: Drinks

  • 21: Untanned hides

  • 33: Crude oil

3.1.1.2 Bank Account Type (74/BK)

Set up a code for each bank account type in UDC table 74/BK. The bank account number is validated based on the bank account type. Set up these values:

  • B: Domestic Dutch bank

  • P: Domestic Postbank

  • X: Foreign bank

3.1.1.3 Check Crossing Code (74/CC)

Set up codes in UDC table 74/CC to indicate whether a check that is issued by the bank should be crossed. Crossed checks cannot be cashed over the counter. Payment can only be made directly to the account of the payee. Values are:

Y: Cross the check.

N: Do not cross the check (default).

3.1.1.4 Check Forwarding Code (74/CV)

Set up check forwarding codes in UDC table 74/CV to indicate the location to which a check should be sent. Set up these values:

  • 1: Principle's branch

  • 2: Principle

  • 3: Beneficiary

3.1.1.5 Domestic Costs Code (74/DC)

The codes in UDC table 74/DC specify whether the principle or the beneficiary is responsible for paying costs. The values are hard-coded and include:

Code Description
1 Charged to Principle's NLG/EUR.
2 Charged to Principle's FC Account.
3 Charged to Beneficiary Details.

3.1.1.6 Group Name Code (74/GP)

Set up codes in UDC table 74/GP to indicate the payment category. The options are prescribed by the DNB (Netherlands Central Bank). Values are:

1: Goods

2: Transit trade

3: Services and capital

4: Transfer to your own account

5: Other registered items

3.1.1.7 Payment Instruction Code (74/I1)

Set up payment instruction codes in UDC table 74/11 to include in SWIFT messages to foreign banks. Values are:

0: Advise beneficiary by phone.

02: Advise beneficiary by telex.

03: Advise beneficiary bank by phone.

04: Advise beneficiary bank by telex.

05: Advise beneficiary bank by cable/SWIFT charges for us.

06: Advise beneficiary bank by cable/SWIFT without charges for us.

07: Hold disposal.

12: If beneficiary is unknown or deceased, please return amount.

13: This payment is irrevocable.

14: Intercompany transfer.

3.1.1.8 Costs Abroad (74/KC)

Set up codes in UDC table 74/KC to indicate how costs charged by the ABN AMRO Bank for processing payment orders are settled. This code is used in the foreign payment system.

Values are:

1: Charged to principle NLG/EUR.

2: Charged to principle FC account.

3: Charged to beneficiary details.

3.1.1.9 Costs NLG/Foreign Code (74/KG)

3.1.1.11 Processing Code (74/SU)

Set up processing codes in UDC table 74/SU to indicate whether the SWIFT message should be sent with standard or priority status when transferring funds. Set up these codes:

  • 0: SWIFT standard

  • 2: SWIFT priority

3.1.1.12 Transit Type Code (74/TT)

Set up codes in UDC table 74/TT to indicate transit types. This code is used to validate the supplier's bank transit number. You must specify the format of the transit number for each transit type in the Description 02 field using these characters:

  • N: Numeric; blank not allowed

  • Y: Numeric; blank allowed

  • X: Nonnumeric; blank not allowed

  • Z: Nonnumeric; blank allowed

  • B: Alphanumeric; blank allowed

The system uses the format that you specify to validate the bank transit number.

For example, entering NNNN in the Description 02 field indicates that transit numbers of the associated transit type consist of four numeric characters with blanks allowed in each position.

You should enter the format for domestic accounts in the Description 02 field for the blank UDC code.


Note:

When a transit number has fewer characters than the specified format, the system adds trailing blanks to the transit number.

Do not change the SW (Swift address worldwide) code. The format in the Description 02 field of the SW code is hard-coded for validation of the Swift code.


3.2 Setting Up Payment Formats for the Netherlands

This section provides an overview of payment formats for the Netherlands, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up processing options for:

  • Create A/P Bank Tape - CLIEOP02/CLIEOP03 - Holland (R04572H1).

  • Create A/P Bank Tape - Foreign ABN AMRO - Holland (R04572H2).

3.2.1 Understanding Payment Formats for the Netherlands

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software supports these country-specific automatic payment formats for the Netherlands:

Format Description
ClieOp2 The ClieOp2 (Client opdracht indeling 2) is the standard format developed by the banks in the Netherlands. Both the BankGiro Centrale (BGC) and the Postbank accept this format.
ClieOp3 The ClieOp3 (Client opdracht indeling 3) is the euro-compliant payment format. It contains all of the functionality of ClieOp2 and is upward-compatible.
BTL91 ABN AMRO bank provides the BTL91 payment format for foreign payments. This format supports IBAN; the output records contain the IBAN number and other related IBAN information if you set up IBAN information for your bank and your supplier's bank. The format is also euro-compliant.

Use these write programs to generate payment formats for the Netherlands:

Program Description
R04572H1 Domestic formats ClieOp2 or ClieOp3.
R04572H2 Foreign format ABN AMRO.

You create two versions of the domestic payment format program (P04572H1): one for ClieOp2 and one for ClieOp3. To create a version for ClieOp2, leave the processing option on the ClieOp3 tab blank. To create a version for ClieOp3, enter 1 in the processing option on the ClieOp3 tab.

3.4 Setting Up Automatic Debit Formats for the Netherlands

This section provides an overview of automatic debits for the Netherlands and discusses how to set processing options for Automatic Debits Dutch Format (R03B575DH).

3.4.1 Understanding Automatic Debits for the Netherlands

The automatic debits formats that are most commonly used in the Netherlands are ClieOp2 (Client opdracht indeling 2) and ClieOp3 (Client opdracht indeling 3). ClieOp2 is the standard format that was developed by the banks in the Netherlands. Both the Bank Giro Centrale (BGC) and the Postbank accept this format. ClieOp3 is the euro-compliant automatic debiting format. It contains the ClieOp2 format and is upward-compatible.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system provides Automatic Debits Dutch Formats ClieOp2 and ClieOp3 (R03B575DH) for automatic debits.

This program generates a bank table that adheres to the banking standards for automatic debits in the Netherlands.

You specify the debit format (ClieOp2 or ClieOp3) that you want to use on the File Info tab of the processing options for the Automatic Debits Dutch Formats ClieOp2 and ClieOp3 program (R03B575DH).

You must specify a file serial number for each automatic debit file that you create. In the Enter File Serial Number processing option on the File Info tab, type 01 for the first file that you create each day. If you create more than one file in a day, you must update this value. The value must be updated for every subsequent file that is created each day (that is, 01, 02, 03).

3.5 Setting Up Bank Information in the Netherlands

This section provides overviews of Dutch bank account setup, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up Dutch bank account information.

3.5.1 Understanding Dutch Bank Account Setup

You should set up additional bank account information for your suppliers, both foreign and domestic, after you set up bank accounts by address. This additional bank information is stored in the Dutch Payments Bank Information table (F74030H) and creates a link between the Dutch bank account number and the Bank Transit Master table (F0030).

You can designate multiple bank accounts for a single supplier when the supplier is associated with a unique payment handling code.

The system validates the Transit Number and the Swift Code that you enter in the Dutch Payments Bank Information program (P74030H). Validation of the Transit Number is based on the value in the Transit Type field.

You set up Dutch bank information on the Dutch Account Maintenance form. Alternatively, you can set up Dutch bank information by selecting Regional Info from the Form menu on the Setup Bank Accounts By Address form if you set your user profile to the Netherlands.

3.5.2 Form Used to Set Up Bank Accounts
