This section provides an overview of the payment format for Singapore and discusses how to set up processing options for Print Singapore CTS Cheque (R04572SG).
The Association of Banks in Singapore established a standardized cheque format so that it could implement a Cheque Truncation System (CTS). You use the Print Singapore CTS Cheque program (R04572SG) to generate cheques in the standardized format.
Before you use the Print Singapore CTS Cheque program (R04572SG), consider this information:
The cheques contain a numerical representation of the amount as well as an English-language representation of the amount in words. For example, the system writes the amount 123.45 USD as one hundred twenty-three dollars and forty-five cents. When you set the Literal Amount Lines processing option for the Print Singapore CTS Cheque program to use three lines, the system prints up to 150 characters. When you set the Literal Amount Lines processing option to use two lines, the system prints up to 100 characters. If the amount in words exceeds the allowed character count, the system prints the amount in its numerical representation.
You must customize the placement of remittance information to suit the fields on your cheque stock.
Street address information is not included on the printed cheque; the address is printed on the remittance advice.
The system prints a maximum of 14 characters for the numerical value (999,999,999.99), and includes leading fill characters (*) if the value is less than 14 characters. For example, the system writes 1,234,567.00 as **1,234,567.00.
The Professional Title (ATTL) field in the Address Book - Who's Who table (F0111) is not controlled by the Payee Control function.
This table describes how the system prints the payee name, based on the type code of the record in the Address Book Who's Who table, the type code that you specify in the Type Code processing option, and the value that you specify for the Format Payee Name processing option:
| Format Payee Name Processing Option | Type Code Processing Option | How the Payee Name is printed |
|---|---|---|
| Enter 1 or leave the option blank. | Enter a valid value from the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table. | The system prints one line of text that consists of a concatenation of a Mailing Name (MLNM) and Professional Title (ATTL) for the type code that you specified. The system prints the first 60 characters of the concatenated value. |
| Enter 1 or leave the option blank. | Leave the option blank or enter a value that does not exist in the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table. | The system prints one line of text that consists of the Mailing Name (MLNM) for record 0 in table F0111. |
| Enter 2. | Enter a valid value from the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table. | The system prints two lines of text that consist of a Mailing Name (MLNM) on one line and a Professional Title (ATTL) on the second line for the type code that you specified. The system prints up to 40 characters for each line. |
| Enter 2. | Leave the option blank or enter a value that does not exist in the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table. | The system prints one line of text that consists of the Mailing Name (MLNM) for record 0 in table F0111. |
Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.
Specify whether the system prints the payee name on one or two lines of the cheque. Values are:
Blank or 1: If you complete the Type Code processing option with a valid value from the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table, the system prints one line of text that consists of a concatenation of a mailing name (data item MLNM) and professional title (data item ATTL) for the type code that you specified. The system prints the first 60 characters of the concatenated value. If you leave the Type Code processing option blank or enter a value that does not exist in the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table, the system prints one line of text that consists of the first 60 characters of the mailing name for record 0 in the Address Book - Who's Who table (F0111).
2: If you complete the Type Code processing option with a valid value from the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table, the system prints two lines of text that consist of a mailing name on one line and a professional title on the second line for the type code that you specified. The system prints up to 40 characters for each line. If you leave the Type Code processing option blank or enter a value that does not exist in the Type Code (01/W0) UDC table, the system prints one line of text that consists of the first 60 characters of the mailing name for record 0 in the Address Book - Who's Who table (F0111).
Specify whether the system uses the default value for the mailing name or uses a mailing name that consists of a combination of the mailing name and professional title that is based on the type code of the record. If more than one record for the payee exists in the Address Book - Who's Who table (F0111), the system uses the type code from the record with the lowest value in the Line Number (LNID) field. If no type code exists for the payee, the system uses the mailing name for record 0 in table (F0111). You must enter a value other than Blank to make the system merge the mailing name and professional title fields. Values are hard-coded.
Specify whether the system prints the literal amount on two or three lines, if needed. The literal amount is an English-language representation of the payment amount in words. When you set this processing option to use three lines, the system prints up to 150 characters. When you set this processing option to use two lines, the system prints up to 100 characters. If the amount in words exceeds the allowed character count, the system prints the amount in its numerical representation. Values are:
Blank or a value other than 3: The system prints the literal amount on two lines.
3: The system prints the literal amount on three lines.
