Processing Banking

This chapter provides an overview of banking and describes how to define the banking process.

Understanding the Banking Process for Brazil

The banking business process in PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll is optional. If you decide to use the banking business process, start by defining pages in the core application and continue with processing in Global Payroll for Brazil. Before running the banking process for Brazil, you must set up basic banking information in the core application, such as:

Defining bank addresses.
Identifying source banks and linking source banks to pay entities.
Defining recipients.
Defining payee bank accounts.
Specifying net pay elections.
Defining deposit schedules.

Note. The information below only discusses the banking process for Global Payroll for Brazil, which occurs after you've set up the banking information in the core application.

After running a payroll, funds are sent to the bank, along with instructions for payment. The bank needs to know who is going to be paid, how much they are to be paid, and which bank the wages are paid to. This information is extracted from the core application and stored in the Brazilian payroll files, based on a list of payees corresponding to those in the last payroll run. A file is created with a line for each payee, containing a name, bank account number and amount of money. This file is sent to the bank that then distributes the funds.

Note. Global Payroll for Brazil supports the Unibanco bank reporting format.

Viewing Delivered Elements

The PeopleSoft system delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for Brazil. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll 9.0 PeopleBook.

Defining the Banking Process

To define the banking process, use the Banks (BANK_EC) component.

This section describes the banking process and discusses the pages used to define banking in Brazil.

Processing Banking

To process banking in Global Payroll for Brazil:

Launch the Payment Preparation BRA process (GPBR_PMT), a PS Job, from the Payment Preparation page.

The job runs the Global Payment Banking process (GP_PMT_PREP) and populates the GPBR PAYMENT output table.
Launch the process to build the EFT file and generate the banking report on the Payment File Generation page.

An SQR, called GPBRBA01, is run. An EFT file is generated, containing the details of each payment from the payroll run. The EFT file is sent to the bank so that the funds can be transferred to payees' bank accounts. This SQR also generates a report with payment details for validation purposes. You can review and store the payment details.

Note. Global Payroll for Brazil produces this file in the Unibanco format.
