You must set up account bank account cross-references for suppliers to whom you transfer funds electronically. These cross-references supply bank account information for your suppliers. You can also add this information on Supplier Master Information, Bank Accounts by Address. Although accessed differently, the program (P0030) is the same.
Bank account cross-references link supplier addresses in the Address Book Master table (F0101) to their bank account information in the Bank Transit Number Master table (F0030). Both the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable systems maintain this information.

P – Pre-note status. Set up electronic funds transfer information for this supplier with the bank. At this stage, the system writes a check to the supplier and makes a pre-note entry to the bank tape. No funds will be transferred until the pre-note cycle is complete. N – Pre-note cycle complete. The bank has received and verified the supplier's account information. The system will process future payment to this supplier through electronic funds transfer. If you leave this field blank, the system uses N. Note: The system sets the pre-note status to P for a supplier when you first add bank account information to a supplier's address record and any time you change bank account information. The date is recorded when the pre-note status changes. |
Secondary Business Unit | A business unit may be assigned to bank accounts so that Business Unit Security may be set up to prevent unauthorized users from accessing or changing bank account information.
The Business Unit must be set up in the Business Unit Master (F0006) |
From Accounts Payable (G04), enter 29
From Accounts Payable Setup (G0441), choose Automatic Payment Setup
From Automatic Payment Setup (G04411), choose an option under Exception Reports
After you set up bank account cross-references, run two exception reports to verify the information before you produce your first batch of automatic payments.
Verifying cross-references consists of:
Printing the Bank Account Exception Report
Printing the Address Book Exception Report
These DREAM Writer reports compare information in the Address Book Master table (F0101) and the Bank Transit Number Master table (F0030).
This exception report edits all the addresses for each cross-reference on Bank Account Cross Reference. The report lists any record that does not exist in the Address Book Master table and bypasses bank account records that have a blank address number.
This report does not update any information. You must either enter missing address records in the address book master or remove them from Bank Account Cross References.
Figure 79-3 Bank Account/Address Book Exception report
This report lists any suppliers and customers in the Address Book Master table that do not have a corresponding bank account record on Bank Account Cross References. The system only edits customers and suppliers with a method of payment that requires a bank account record. For example, A/P bank tape processing requires bank account records.
This report does not update any information. You must either enter missing bank account records in the Bank Transit Number Master table (F0030) or change the payment instrument code for the address in the supplier master or the customer master.
