3 Setting Up Localizations for Austria

This chapter contains the following topics:

3.1 Setting Up Payment Formats for Austria

This section provides an overview of payment formats for Austria, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set processing options for:

  • Create A/P Bank Diskette - Austrian EFT (R04572A).

  • Create A/P Bank Diskette - Austrian V3 PAYMUL (R04572A3).

3.1.1 Understanding Payment Formats for Austria

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides these payment formats for Austria:

Format Description
R04572A Create A/P Bank Diskette - Austrian EFT.
R04572A3 Create A/P Bank Diskette - Austrian V3 PAYMUL.

3.1.1.1 V3 Payment Format for Austria

Austrian banks use the V3 payment format to implement the U.N. EDIFACT standard. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides the V3 payment format so that the banks can use this Austrian-specific version of the EDIFACT PAYMUL (MULtiple PAYments) message.

The V3 PAYMUL file that you create using the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Austrian V3 PAYMUL program can include two optional segments. Generally, you include these segments if your bank does not provide an alternative method of including the information in the segments.

You specify in the processing options whether the system includes the UNB (header) and UNZ (trailer) segments. When you specify that the system include these segments, the UNB segment becomes the first segment in the flat file and the UNZ segment becomes the last segment in the flat file.

The UNB segment includes fixed text (UNB+UNOC:3+) followed by the sender identifier, the recipient identifier, the date of preparation, the time of preparation, and an interchange control number. The sender and recipient identifiers are determined by agreement between the sender and recipient. You specify the sender identifier and the recipient identifier in processing options. The system generates the date, time, and interchange control number.

The UNZ segment includes fixed text (UNZ+) followed by the number of messages and the interchange control reference. The number of messages is always 1 because the system sends only one PAYMUL message per file. The interchange control reference is generated by the system.

The V3 version of the PAYMUL format enables these domestic payment options:

Option Description
Transfers to a Beneficiary Account Held by a Domestic Bank Use the European Monetary Union euro (EUR) denomination for transfer amounts. When you transfer a payment that is in a currency other than the transfer currency of the account, the amount of the payment is automatically converted into the account currency.

For example, if the payment is denominated in EUR and the recipient's account is denominated in JPY, the transfer is converted to JPY automatically.

Instructions for PostBar The beneficiary is paid in cash by the postal service.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software does not support PostBar payment.

Priority Payments Priority payments are credited to the beneficiary account as soon as possible and prioritized by the assigned bank using the multibank standard (MBS).

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software does not support priority payments.



Note:

In Austria, the PAYMUL might also direct the postal service to delivery payments directly to customers, a practice known as payment with allonge. To take advantage of allonge, an additional document must be automatically created and used to collect a signature at the time that the payment is delivered to the customer. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software does not support payment with allonge.

3.2 Setting Up Automatic Debit Formats for Austria

This section provides an overview of automatic debits for Austria and discusses how to set processing options for Austrian Bank Diskette Format and Statement (R03B575AD).

3.2.1 Understanding Automatic Debit Formats for Austria

In addition to the standard software setup and process, you must set processing options for the Austrian debit format.

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

  • R03B575AD (Austrian Bank Diskette Format and Statement).

  • R03B575AD1 (Austrian Format Diskette Cover Page Auto Debit).

These programs generate a bank table that adheres to the banking standards for automatic debits in Austria.


Note:

The Austrian Bank Diskette Format and Statement program calls the Austrian Format Diskette Cover Page Auto Debit program automatically.

3.2.2 Setting Processing Options for Austrian Bank Diskette Format and Statement (R03B575AD)

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

Statement Print

Specify whether the system prints invoices that are included in the automatic debits batch as customer statements. Values are:

Blank: Print customer statements only when the number of invoice detail lines exceeds the maximum number that is allowed by the format.
