Understanding ESR Payment Slips for Switzerland

Einzahlungsschein (ESR) are preformatted payment slips that accompany the invoices that you send to customers. ESR payment slips contain a unique reference number that the Postfinance Bank uses when customers make electronic payments through that bank. Postfinance uses the reference number to refer to the payment transaction when it sends information to the payor and payee about the transfer of funds to satisfy the payment requirements. When Postfinance returns payment information to you, you use the ESR reference number to match receipts to invoices.

The ESR reference number consists of the document number (DOC), document company (KCO), and the document type (DCT) of the invoice, as well as the bank transit number (TNST) and a check digit that the system creates using an algorithm. The system concatenates these values to form one string. The document type is written in its ASCII code representation because the ESR reference number must be numerical characters.

The system formats the ESR reference number only when the company customizes either the Print Invoices program (R42565) or the Invoice Print program (R03B505) to call the Maintain ESR Reference Number business function (B03B0220), and you use the customized program to print invoices with attached ESR payment slips. The Maintain ESR Reference Number business function creates the ESR reference number.

When Postfinance sends you electronic media that confirms the payments that have been credited to you, you use the Text File Processor program (P007101) to process the electronic media. The Text File Processor program calls the Upload ESR Payments program (R03B803) to unformat the ESR reference number. You can use the Upload ESR Payments program to unformat the ESR reference number only if the Maintain ESR Reference Number business function was used to format the ESR reference line on the printed ESR payment slips.

When you run the Upload ESR Payments program, the system unformats the ESR reference number in the Text Processor Header table (F007101) and the Text Processor Detail Table (F007111), and parses it into the Document Number, Document Company, and Document Type fields in the Electronic Receipts Input table (F03B13Z1).

The ESR payment slip process includes these events:

You run the customized print invoices program to print invoices with ESR payment slips.
You send the invoices with ESR payment slips to customers using the postal service.
Customers forward the ESR payment slips to Postfinance Bank.
Postfinance withdraws the appropriate amount from the customer's account and deposits it into the company's account.
Postfinance creates electronic media that contains the payment information and sends it to you.
You upload the ESR payment information from the electronic media into the F007101 and F007111 tables by using the Text File Processor program.
You run the Upload ESR Payments program from the Text File Processor program to upload payment information from the F007101 and F007111 tables to the F03B13Z1 table.
You review and revise as necessary the information in the F03B13Z1 table by using the Work With Electronic Receipts Input program (P03B121).
You use the Known Invoice Match with Amount program (R03B50D) or the Known Invoice Match Without Amount program (R03B50E) to process accounts receivables.

You must use one of these programs because the outbound ESR process creates one payment slip per invoice and you must use a program that applies one receipt to one invoice.

Understanding Automatic Payments for Switzerland

To conform to standard business practices in Switzerland, set these processing options on the Create Payment Control Groups program (R04570) as indicated:

On the Process By tab, set the Payee processing option to 1.
On the Summarize tab, set the Summarized Pay Item processing option to 1.
On the Summarize tab, set the Summary Description processing option to 1.

To retrieve sender information from the DTA file format, you must enter your address book number in the Company Address Number field on the Company Setup form.

Understanding VAT for Switzerland

Value-added tax (VAT) is a noncumulative tax that is imposed at each stage of the production and distribution cycle.

Businesses in Switzerland are required to submit an official quarterly tax declaration, along with the payment for taxes due, within 60 days of the end of each quarter. In addition to this tax declaration, businesses are required to submit reports that list transactions involving VAT.

See (CHE) Reports for Switzerland.

Uploading ESR Payment Information for Switzerland to the F03B13Z1 Table

This section provides an overview of the Upload ESR Payments program, list prerequisites, and discusses how to set processing options for Upload ESR Payments (R03B803).

Understanding the Upload ESR Payments Program

After you import the text file that Postfinance Bank sends to you to confirm ESR payments into the Text File Processor program (P007101), you can run the Upload ESR Payments program (R03B803) to upload the ESR payment information to the F03B13Z1 table. When you run the Upload ESR Payments program, the system unformats the ESR reference number in the Text Processor Header table (F007101) and the Text Processor Detail table (F007111); and parses it into the Document Number (DOC), Document Company (KCO), and Document Type (DCT fields) in the F03B13Z1 table. You can then use the Work With Electronic Receipts Input program (P03B121) to review and revise the information in the F03B13Z1 table.

Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

Import the electronic media that Postfinance Bank sends to you into the text file processor tables.

See Working with the Text File Processor.
Add the Upload ESR Payment program (R03B803) as a value in the Upload Text Program UDC table (03B/UP).

See JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools 8.98 Foundation Guide.

Setting Processing Options for Upload ESR Payments (R03B803)

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

Defaults

1. Receipt Currency Code	Specify the transaction currency code for the Upload ESR Payments program (R03B803). The system stores currency codes in the Currency Codes table (F0013). If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the default value CHF.
2. G/L Bank Account	Specify the G/L bank account for the electronic receipts.
3. G/L Date	Specify the G/L date for each electronic receipt. Values are: Blank: Use the date entered in the Override G/L Date processing option. 1: Use the payment date from the ESR payment record. 2: Use the processing date from the ESR payment record. 3: Use the credit date from the ESR payment record.
4. Override G/L Date	Specify the G/L date for the electronic receipts. The system uses the date that you specify here only if the G/L Date processing option is blank. If you leave this processing option blank as well, the system uses the current date.
5. Receipt Date	Specify the receipt date for the electronic receipts. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the current date.
6. Receipt Remark	Use this processing option to enter a receipt remark that appears on the electronic receipts that are created by the Upload ESR Payments program (R03B803). You can enter up to 30 characters.

Working With Automatic Debits for Switzerland

This section provides an overview of automatic debits for Switzerland and discusses how to set processing options for Create Swiss Bank Diskette Format (R03B575SD).

Understanding Automatic Debits for Switzerland

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system provides these Swiss automatic debit formats:

R03B575SD (Create Swiss Bank Diskette Format).

This program saves information to the F03B57OW table.
R03B575SD1 (Swiss Bank Cover Sheet).

This program generates a bank table that adheres to the banking standards for automatic debits (LSV) in Switzerland.

Note. The Create Swiss Bank Diskette program automatically calls the Swiss Bank Cover Sheet program.

Setting Processing Options for Create Swiss Bank Diskette Format (R03B575SD)

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

2. Tape Density

Specify the tape density.

Identification

3. Bank Identification Information
