Working with Banks (WBNK)

Purpose: Use the Banks function to:

•         add or maintain bank codes and their descriptions

•         indicate the transit number associated with the bank

•         define the currency for the bank, if you process orders in multiple currencies

•         define the inbound and outbound reconciliation programs, if you send and receive refund check information to and from a bank

If using multiple currencies by offer: The bank code is key to your setup if you process orders in multiple currencies. The system determines that you intend to process orders in multiple currencies if the Multi Currency by Offer (E03) system control value is selected.

When processing orders in multiple currencies, you must create a separate bank for each currency you intend to use, including your local currency.
