Field or Control

Description

From Amount

The From Amount and To Amount fields display the range of payment amounts. From Amount is a read-only field that increases the to amount value of the previous line by one. If, for example, the to amount in line 1 is 39,999, and the from amount in line 2 is 40,000 (39,999 + 1).

To Amount

Enter the highest payment amount that you want to include in this range. The system automatically enters the maximum value, if you leave this field blank.

Charge Amount

Enter the amount of the bank transfer charge to be deducted when the payment amount falls into the range between the from amount and the to amount.

Use the Bank Transfer Charge page (BCH_BANK_CHRG) to define the bank charge code according to the interbank or intrabank remittance.

Bank Transfer Charge page

The Bank Transfer Charge table contains a set of bank transfer charge codes whose exact amounts are defined by the destination of the remittance. Essentially, the bank transfer charge amount is defined by the relationship between the payer's bank account and the payee's bank account. When the remittance is made within the same bank, the charge is usually lower.

Field or Control

Description

Inter / Intra Code

Displays the relationship between the location of the payment bank account and the destination of the remittance. Options are:

Same bank and same branch: Payer's bank account and payee's bank account are both located in the same branch of the same bank.

Same bank and different branch: Payer's bank account and payee's bank account are both located in the same bank but in different branches.

Different bank: Payer's bank account and payee's bank account are located in different banks.

Note: There must be one bank charge code defined for each of these three values.

Bank Charge Code

Enter the code that is defined on the Bank Transfer Charge Code page to specify the bank transfer charge amount corresponding to the inter/intra code. You can reuse the same bank charge code.

Example: The bank transfer charge is 200 when the payment amount is between 0 and 39,999 (inclusive), and the bank transfer charge is 400 when the payment amount is 40,000, or more if the payment bank (defined on vouchers) and destination of remittance (supplier bank account) are different.
