Japan

Bank Transfer

It is common in Japan for customers to pay suppliers by transferring funds from the customer's bank to the supplier's bank. The customer's bank charges a fee to complete the transfer, and the customer and supplier negotiate who will bear the fee.

If the customer bears the bank charge, the full invoice amount is requested for transfer. For example, for a 100 dollar invoice and a 5 dollar bank transfer fee, the customer transfers 100 dollars to the supplier's bank, and pays 5 dollars to the customer's bank for the bank transfer fee. The total cost to the customer is 105 dollars.

If the supplier bears the bank charge, the invoice amount less the bank charge is requested for transfer. For example, for a 100 dollar invoice and a 5 dollar bank transfer fee, the customer transfers 95 dollars to the supplier's bank and pays 5 dollars to the customer's bank for the bank transfer fee. The total cost to the customer is 100 dollars.

The bank charge is based on several factors, such as:

This form of electronic fund transfer is accomplished with a Zengin file, an electronic or paper file submitted by the customer that instructs the customer's bank to transfer funds to the supplier's bank.

Determining Who Pays Bank Charges

The Bank Transfer feature lets you record if the customer or supplier bears the bank charge along with the bank charge rate type. There are three bank charge values:

How Bank Charges are Calculated

The Oracle Payables Bank Transfer feature lets you handle bank charges borne by the supplier when the customer requests to transfer the full invoice amount less the bank charge.

Bank charges for transfer to suppliers flagged as supplier/standard or supplier/negotiated are automatically calculated during the build payments program with bank charges stored in the Bank Charges window. Bank charges, standard or negotiated, are deducted from the check amount.

Charges are automatically calculated during the Build Payment based on:

Accounting Entries

The Bank Transfer feature lets you make additional accounting entries that you need for bank charges. Two reports were created to support these accounting entries.

If the customer agrees to bear the bank charge, the customer requests to transfer the full invoice amount plus the negotiated bank charge. This is an Internal rate type.

For example, for a 100 dollar invoice, 5 dollar standard bank charge, and 3 dollar negotiated bank charge, the customer transfers 100 dollars, the full invoice amount. The supplier receives 100 dollars as payment and the customer pays a 3 dollar negotiated bank charge.

If the customer requests to transfer the invoice amount less the standard bank charge, but bears the negotiated bank charge instead, the customer receives the discount merit. This is a Supplier/Standard rate type.

For example, for a 100 dollar invoice, 5 dollar standard bank charge, and 3 dollar negotiated bank charge, the supplier expects to receive 95 dollars. The bank, however, gives the customer a negotiated rate instead; the customer pays 95 dollars for the invoice, 3 dollars for the bank transfer fee, and receives a 2 dollar discount merit.

Because the supplier does not know the bank's negotiated transfer rate, the business custom in Japan is to transfer the invoice less the standard bank charge and account the difference between the standard and negotiated bank charge as miscellaneous income.

If the supplier agrees to bear the bank charge and the customer requests to transfer the full invoice amount less a negotiated bank charge, the result is that the supplier receives a discount merit, the difference between the negotiated bank charge and the standard bank charge. This is a Supplier/Negotiated rate type.

For example, for a 100 dollar invoice, 5 dollar standard bank charge, and 3 dollar negotiated bank charge, the customer transfers the invoice amount less the negotiated bank charge, which is 97 dollars. The supplier bears the negotiated bank charge of 3 dollars, but had expected to bear the standard charge of 5 dollars; the supplier received 97 dollars instead of 95 dollars. The supplier receives a 2 dollar discount merit.

Reports

The Bank Transfer feature provides two reports that support additional accounting entries needed for bank charges, including miscellaneous income accounting and consumption tax on the bank charge.

Bank Charges

Bank Charges Overview

Use the Bank Charges window to specify the fee charged by the customer's bank to transfer money to the supplier's bank. Use the Bank Charges region to specify the transferring from and receiving to banks and branches. Use the Bank Charges Lines region to specify the charge amounts. You can define charges from:

Prerequisites

Refer to these sections in your Payables manual for prerequisite information:

Setting up Bank Charges

Bank Charges uses an established hierarchy to search for a match in the bank charges table. This hierarchy is illustrated in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table. When you create a bank transfer, Payables first searches for an exact match on bank and branch for both the transferring and the receiving bank. If no match is found, the system moves down to the next row in the table, and so on until a match is found.

Payables also takes transfer priority (express, normal, any) into account when it searches. At each level in the hierarchy, the system searches in this order:

If no match is found, the system goes on to the next level and repeats the process.

Bank Charges Hierarchy

Understanding the search process will help you set up bank charges in the most efficient way possible. For example, although all combinations in this table are valid, Japanese users only set up bank charges with lines 1, 7, 9, and 12.

If you take advantage of the search hierarchy, you can avoid creating a bank charge record for every bank and branch combination. This table shows the bank charges search hierarchy.

Bank Charges Search Hierarchy

Search Order Transferring Transferring Receiving Receiving
1 Bank Branch Bank Branch
2 Bank Branch Bank Other Branches
3 Bank Branch Bank All Branches
4 Bank Branch Other Banks All Branches
5 Bank Branch All Banks All Branches
6 Bank All Branches Bank Branch
7 Bank All Branches Bank All Branches
8 Bank All Branches Other Banks All Branches
9 Bank All Branches All Banks All Branches
10 All Banks All Branches Bank Branch
11 All Banks All Branches Bank All Branches
12 All Banks All Branches All Banks All Branches

For example, you need to set up bank charges for the following situations:

  1. A transfer within the same bank and branch: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch.

  2. A transfer within the same bank, but between different branches: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Tokyo Bank, Shinjuku branch.

  3. A transfer between different banks: from Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch to Kyoto Bank, Roppongi branch.

  4. Another transfer between different banks: from Osaka Bank, Yokohama branch to Tokyo Bank, Ginza branch.

The most efficient way to set up these charges is to create records in the Bank Charges window as illustrated in this table. Note that the last row in this table creates a default setting that is used any time the system cannot find a match (it corresponds to line 12, or the last row, in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table).

Bank Charge Setup Example

Search Order Transferring Transferring Receiving Receiving For Situation
1 Bank Branch Bank Branch 1. Tokyo/Ginza to Tokyo/Ginza
2 Bank All Branches Bank All Branches 2. Tokyo/Ginza to Tokyo/Shinjuku
3 Bank All Branches All banks All Branches 3. Tokyo/Ginza to Kyoto/Roppongi
4 All Banks All Branches All banks All Branches 4. Osaka/Yokohama to Tokyo/Ginza

The four rows in this table correspond to rows 1, 7, 9, and 12 in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table.

When trying to match each of these situations, the system first looks for an exact match on transferring and receiving bank and branch. In the case of situation 1, it finds such a match and quits searching. In the case of situations 2, 3, and 4, the system cannot find an exact match on transferring and receiving bank and branch, so it continues searching in the order illustrated in the Bank Charges Search Hierarchy table until it finds a match.

Defining Bank Charges

To define bank charges:

  1. Navigate to the Bank Charges window.

  2. Select the transferring bank, as described in this table:

    To specify... Do this....
    A single bank Select Bank from the pull-down list.
    Enter the bank number or name.
    A particular bank branch Select Branch from the pull-down list.
    Enter the branch number or name.
    Charges that apply to all branches of the bank Select All Branches.
    Charges that apply to all banks Select All Banks.
  3. Select the receiving bank, as described in this table:

    To specify... Do this....
    Charges to a single bank Select Bank from the pull-down list.
    Enter the bank number or name.
    Charges specific to a particular bank branch Select Branch from the pull-down list.
    Enter the branch number or name.
    Charges that apply to all branches except the transferring branch Select Other Branches.
    Charges that apply to all branches of the banks Select All Branches.
    Charges that apply to all banks Select All Banks.
    Charges that apply to all banks except the transferring bank Select Other Banks. This option is not available when the transferring bank is All Banks.
  4. Select a transfer priority. There are three choices:

    • Express

    • Normal

    • Any

      Note: To define default bank charges used when charges are not defined, select All Banks for both the transferring and receiving bank. See Setting up Bank Charges for additional information about how Bank Charges searches for matches in the bank charges table.

  5. Enter the currency in the Currency field.

  6. Enter transfer amount ranges and charges that apply to each range.

    Note: The way that the Bank Charge Bearer is defined determines whether your company or the supplier pays the charges and if the standard or negotiated rate is used. See Setting up Bank Transfer for more information.

  7. Enter from and to amounts to indicate the transaction amount range. Note that:

    • The first range must start from zero; enter 0 in the first transaction amount from field.

    • The last range must be open ended; do not enter information in the last transaction amount to field.

    • The to amount from one range is the from amount for the next range. The system defaults this value for you automatically. Each range goes up to, but does not include, the to amount. For example, if the first range is 0 to 500, and the second range is 500 to 1,000, the charge for the first range is applied to amounts up to 499.99. The charge for the second range will be applied to amounts from 500 to 999.99.

  8. Enter the standard bank charge for the range.

  9. Enter the negotiated bank charge for the range (optional).

  10. Enter a from date in the Effective Dates - From field to indicate the first day this charge is applied. Leave the Effective Dates - To field blank to indicate that the charge is in effect indefinitely. Enter a to date when a charge is in effect for a specific period of time or when you want to inactivate a charge.

Lockbox

Using AutoLockbox

If you are importing bank data in Zengin format, receipts must be manually confirmed before you can post them by submitting Post QuickCash. Therefore, when you import Zengin receipts, AutoLockbox can be either a three or four step process:

  1. Import data into the AutoLockbox Tables.

  2. Match customers with receipts or confirm automatic matching.

  3. Submit the validation program.

  4. Submit Post QuickCash to update your customer's balances (you can submit the validation and Post QuickCash steps simultaneously).

    See Importing Zengin Format Data Using AutoLockbox for more information.

How AutoLockbox Identifies Customers for a Receipt, Oracle Receivables User Guide

Alternate Name (Zengin Receipts)

AutoLockbox accommodates bank transfers that use the Zengin file format, the standard format for bank transfers in Japan. Usually, Receivables uses the customer number or invoice number to identify the customer who remitted the payment. However, the Zengin bank file format does not include this information. Therefore, AutoLockbox identifies customers by their alternate names, which is usually the customer's phonetic name spelled with Kana characters (or a shortened form of the full Kana name). You can enter an alternate customer name in the Alternate Name field of the Customers window.

Receivables stores the relationship between a customer and their alternate name in the Alternate Names table (AR_CUSTOMER_ALT_NAMES) so Zengin receipt data can be matched with the correct customer data. Specifically, the Alternate Names table contains the alternate name, the customer ID, the customer's site use ID (bill to location), and payment terms. Before receipts can be validated and posted as identified receipts, they must be matched with a customer from the Alternate Names table or from the Customers table (RA_CUSTOMERS).

Note: To use the Alternate Names table, the profile option AR: Alternate Name Search must be set to Yes. If it is set to No, Receivables does not display the Alternate Name Search field in the Lockbox Processing window.

During the import process, you can choose to use the Alternate Names table to automatically match receipts with customers or you can import the data and then match the receipts manually in the Maintain Transmission Data window. When submitting the import step of AutoLockbox, enter one of the following options in the Alternate Name Search field:

See Importing Zengin Format Data Using AutoLockbox for more information.

AutoLockbox Validation

Receivables validates the data you receive from the bank to ensure that the entire file was received, that there are no duplicate receipts within a batch, and that customers and invoices are valid.

Related Topics

AutoLockbox Validation, Oracle Receivables User Guide

Lockbox Tables and Column Descriptions

When you submit the Import, Validation, and Post Batch steps of AutoLockbox, Receivables stores receipt information in temporary application tables until it is approved for the next step. For example, the Validation step checks data in the AutoLockbox tables for compatibility with Receivables before passing the information into the Receipt and QuickCash tables.

When you run the Import step of AutoLockbox, Receivables stores receipt data from your bank file in the Lockbox Interface table AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE. Each column in AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE has important, detailed information which you need to successfully run Lockbox.

This table shows the values stored in the STATUS and DEPOSIT_DATE columns of the AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE table.

Column Name Value
STATUS There are five possible status values for data converted from the Zengin file format:
  • AR_PLB_ALT_MATCH_MANUAL - The user selected manual processing.

  • AR_PLB_ALT_MATCH_NONE - Lockbox could not find a match for this receipt in the Alternate Names table.

  • AR_PLB_ALT_MATCH_MULTIPLE - Lockbox found more than one match for this receipt in the Alternate Names table.

  • AR_PLB_ALT_MATCH_VERIFY - Lockbox found a single, exact match for this receipt in the Alternate Names table.

  • AR_PLB_ALT_MATCH_CONFIRMED - The receipt was either matched manually in the Lockbox Transmission Data window or it was matched automatically and then confirmed in the Lockbox Transmission Data window.

DEPOSIT_DATE Enter the date on which this transmission was actually deposited into your bank account. The Japanese file conversion program automatically converts Heisei imperial era dates to Oracle date format.

Assigning Values to Lockbox Header or Trailer Records

If your record type is either a Lockbox Header or a Lockbox Trailer, enter this column with the value described in this table.

Column Name Value
ORIGINATION Enter the sending bank's transit routing number. The restriction that the origination value must be the same as that included in a Transmission Header or Trailer does not apply to Zengin file format.

Assigning Values to Receipt Records

If your record type is a Payment, you can enter these columns with the values described in this table.

Column Name Value
LOCKBOX_NUMBER For the Zengin file format, the lockbox number is system-generated.
ITEM_NUMBER For the Zengin file format, the item number is system-generated.
CHECK_NUMBER For the Zengin file format, the check number is system-generated.
CUSTOMER_NUMBER For Zengin file formats, the system looks up the customer number in the Alternate Names table.
CUSTOMER_NAME_ALT The customer's alternate name from the Zengin bank file.
STATUS Oracle Receivables assigns one of the following values:
  • Manual - The user selected manual processing.

  • None - Lockbox could not find a match for this receipt in the Alternate Names table.

  • Multiple - Lockbox found more than one match for this receipt in the Alternate Names table.

  • Verify - Lockbox found a single, exact match in the Alternate Names table.

Running AutoLockbox

You can import, validate, and run AutoLockbox all in one step, or perform the steps separately using the same window, except when importing Zengin data. If you are using AutoLockbox to import bank files in the Zengin format, you must perform the steps separately.

Running AutoLockbox, Oracle Receivables User Guide

Importing Zengin Format Data Using AutoLockbox

Use the Submit Lockbox Processing window to import bank files that are in Zengin format. Unlike some file formats, you cannot select, import, validate, and post bank files in Zengin format in a single step. You must import the data, match and confirm receipts with customers, then return to the Submit Lockbox Processing window to validate and post the records.

Although you must submit the import step separately from the validate and post steps when transferring Zengin format files, you can submit the validate and post steps either separately or at the same time.

For more information about matching receipts with customers when importing Zengin format bank files, see Alternate Name (Zengin Receipts).

The Lockbox Processing window only displays the Alternate Name Search field and lets you import Zengin bank files if the profile option AR: Alternate Name Search is set to Yes and the profile option AR: Zengin Character Set is defined.

Prerequisites

Before importing Zengin format data using AutoLockbox, you must:

To import Zengin format data using AutoLockbox:

  1. Navigate to the Submit Lockbox Processing window.

  2. If you are importing a new bank file, check the New Transmission check box, then enter a Transmission Name. If you are resubmitting an existing lockbox transmission, you can select the name from the list of values.

  3. To import a new bank file into Receivables, check the Submit Import check box, then enter your bank file's Data File, Control File, and Transmission Format information. If you are re-importing data, the default is the transmission format you specified in the initial import step; you can either accept the default value or override it. When you run the import step, Receivables generates the import section of the Lockbox Execution report.

  4. Choose the matching method to use in the Alternate Name Search field. Choose one of these options:

    • Automatic - AutoLockbox imports the data and attempts to match customers with receipts. If AutoLockbox cannot match some receipts, you must match them manually. If you choose the Automatic method, your lockbox must have the Require Billing Location option set to No.

    • Manual - AutoLockbox only imports the data; you must manually match receipts with customers.

    • None - Choosing the None option is the same as setting the profile option AR: Alternate Name Search to No (Receivables does not search the Alternate Names table to match customers with receipts).

To match receipts in this transmission with customers and change each receipt's status to Confirmed, see Maintaining Zengin Lockbox Transmission Data.

To see which customers and receipts were successfully imported, see Alternate Customer Name Receipt Matching Report.

Use the Lockbox Transmission Data window to match your Zengin receipts with their respective customers and update the status of these receipts to Confirmed. Receipts must have a status of Confirmed to be included in a Post QuickCash submission.

The Lockbox Transmission Data window only displays the fields you need to identify customers for your Zengin receipts if the profile option AR: Alternate Name Search is set to Yes.

Receipt Status

When you import Zengin data into Receivables, AutoLockbox assigns a status to each receipt. This status indicates whether AutoLockbox was able to match the receipt with a customer. These are valid receipt statuses:

Prerequisites

Import Zengin format data into Receivables tables using AutoLockbox. See Importing Zengin Format Data Using AutoLockbox for more information.

To maintain lockbox transmission data in Zengin format:

  1. Navigate to the Lockbox Transmission Data window.

  2. If you entered a matching method of Automatic, confirm the matching for receipts whose status is Verify. Select the receipts to be confirmed, then choose Confirm Match(es) from the Tools menu. AutoLockbox changes the status of the selected receipts to Confirmed.

  3. If you entered a matching method of Manual (or if you need to match receipts that AutoLockbox was unable to match automatically), identify the customer for each receipt. Unmatched receipts have no customer name or bill to location and a status of Manual, None, or Multiple.

    To match the receipt from the Alternate Names table, select a customer using the list of values. Receivables enters the customer's bill to location (if one is defined).

    If the customer is not in the Alternate Names table, select All Customers from the Tools menu to display information from the Customers table (RA_CUSTOMERS). Locate the customer name and select it from the list.

    To define a bill to location for this customer, choose Receipt, then define the bill to location in the Lockbox Receipt window.

    When you select the customer from either the Alternate Names or the Customers table, Receivables changes the status of the receipt to Confirmed. Receivables updates the Alternate Names table with any new data you selected from the Customers table so it can match receipts for those customers the next time you run AutoLockbox.

  4. To validate and post receipts in this transmission, navigate to the Submit Lockbox Processing window, then perform steps 4-6 in Running AutoLockbox in Oracle Receivables User Guide.

    See Alternate Customer Name Receipt Matching Report and Deleting Records from the Alternate Names Table for more information.

Deleting Records from the Alternate Names Table

When you match Zengin receipts with customer information in the Lockbox Transmission Data window, Receivables updates the Alternate Names table so it can automatically match receipts for these customers the next time you run AutoLockbox. The Alternate Name Receipt Matches window lets you remove this information from the Alternate Names table if, for example, this information is no longer valid.

Deleting information in the Alternate Name Matches window only removes the record from the Alternate Names table; it does not delete the customer's name, number, or any other information from Receivables.

Note: The records in the Alternate Names table are not the same as the Alternate Name you can assign to a customer using the Customers window. The records in the Alternate Names table originate from the bank file you imported using AutoLockbox, and are simply alternative customer names often used by Japanese businesses.

Prerequisites

To delete records from the Alternate Names table:

  1. Navigate to the Alternate Name Receipt Matches window.

  2. Enter selection criteria. For example, enter the Alternate Name, Customer Name, Customer Number, Bill To Location, or Payment Term associated with the Alternate Name to view. Leave a field blank if you do not want to limit your query to information matching that criteria.

  3. Choose Find.

  4. Select the record to delete, then choose Delete.

  5. Choose OK to delete the record from the Alternate Names table.

    Note: If the profile option AR: Alternate Name Search is set to Yes, Receivables deletes this record from the Alternate Names table if you perform any of the following operations:

    • Modify or delete a customer address that includes a bill to business purpose

    • Inactivate a customer or their billing location

    • Merge two different customers (Receivables deletes the From customer from the Alternate Names table if a bill to location was defined; otherwise, the record is not affected.)

    • Records in the Alternate Names table that do not have a bill to location are not affected by these operations.

      Note: If you assign a new payment term to a customer or modify the customer's name or alternate name, Receivables automatically updates this information in the Alternate Names table (it does not delete the record).

See Alternate Customer Name Receipt Matching Report for more information.

Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax Reports

Use the Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax reports to print summary and detail asset information in the required format once a year to your tax authorities. Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax Reports is a program that controls these reports:

The Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax Summary report summarizes asset information by location as of January 1 for the selected calendar year. The report also calculates the evaluated and theoretical net book value for each asset type, as well as the decision cost, which is the larger of the two net book values.

The Japanese Detail by Asset Type (All Assets) report prints detail information for all assets by location as of January 1 of the selected calendar year. This report prints the residual rate, which the tax authorities require, based on the asset's useful life. The Japanese Detail by Asset Type (Addition Assets) report includes asset increases between January 2 of the prior year and January 1 of the selected calendar year. You can print these two reports in the 132 or 180 characters wide format.

The Japanese Detail by Asset Type (Decrease Assets) report displays asset decreases between January 2 of the prior year and January 1 of the selected calendar year.

All four reports print asset information based on the transaction or effective date, no matter what the book's open period is. After January 1 of a given year, if you enter a transaction with a transaction date prior to January 1, you need to reprint the reports for this year because the results may differ from what was printed before you entered the new transaction.

The Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax Reports displays Japanese era names and years. The Japanese era names are:

When you submit the Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax Reports program, the reports that you select automatically run. Use the Standard Request Submission windows to submit the Japanese Depreciable Assets Tax program and reports.

The report is printed using XML Publisher with the information that you enter in the Company Information and Tax Authority windows along with the financial data in the format mandated by your tax authorities.
