Note on Addresses and Effective Dating

The effective date of an address entered on the Supplier Information - Address page can have an impact on its availability for input on the Supplier Information - Payables Options page. Here are the factors that determine the availability or validity of an address:

  • The currently active row for a supplier location must have a currently active address.

    The effective date of the address row need not be prior to the effective date of the supplier location, but it must be prior or equal to the system date.

  • If the supplier location row is future-dated, the address must be effective-dated such that it is active as of the effective date of the supplier location row.

  • If the supplier location row is a history (past-dated) row, the address must be effective-dated such that it is active at the effective date of the supplier location row.

  • The addressees in the address field prompt list on this page are not necessarily valid for the location, nor are they necessarily the only addresses valid for the location.

    The prompt lists only currently active addresses. Therefore, if you are selecting addresses for history (past-dated) or future-dated rows, the valid address may not appear in the prompt and invalid addresses may appear. You can still enter the valid address even if it does not appear in the prompt.

    Also, if you enter an address on the Supplier Information - Address page and do not save the Supplier Information component before proceeding to the Payables Options page, that address does not appear in the address prompt. If that address meets the criteria listed above, however, you can still enter it on the Payables Options page and successfully save the supplier.

You see an error message if you do enter an invalid address for a supplier location for current and future-dated rows. History rows with an invalid address generate a warning, but you can save the supplier

Bank Charge source

Select from these options:

Table: The system looks for the amount of charge defined in the table based on the payment condition, and deducts that amount from the payment. The system also creates an accounting entry for this charge at the time of payment posting.

User: The system deducts the amount entered in the Amount field.

Warning! When the bank charge source is User, the bank transfer charge setting is not mandatory because the payment process does not look at the Bank Transfer Charge table. It does, however, use the table to output the difference between the assumable charge calculated from the table and the actual deducted amount at the payment. Thus, for reporting purposes, the Bank Transfer Charge table must exist even though the bank charge source is User; otherwise, the assumable charge amount appears as 0.

Click the View IBAN button to start a function that calculates and validates the IBAN check digit entry by using processes and functions that conform to ISO 13616, 3166, and 7064. If the check digit is validated, the system concatenates the IBAN check digit and the existing basic bank account number, to create the IBAN.

BIC (bank identifier code)

Enter the bank identifier code for this supplier's bank account. This code is based on the ISO standard (9362), which is the universal method used to identify the financial institutions that enable automated processing of payments.

A BIC is used to route cross-border and some domestic payments to a bank branch or payments center. SEPA requires the use of BIC and IBAN codes to uniquely identify the banks and bank accounts of the creditor and debtor in all Euro cross-border payments. It is imperative that the IBAN and BIC codes are correct to avoid repair fees that the bank charges due to processing errors, and to avoid delays in processing payments and collections due to the time-consuming correction of these errors.

After you enter a BIC code, the system validates the length and layout of the characters, and validates the BIC country code against the country code set up for the bank branch.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payables Options page - HIPAA Information section. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Payables Options page - HIPAA Information section

Note: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a set of regulations from the United States Department of Health and Human Services. One of HIPAA's primary concerns is to restrict the use of individually identifiable health information to protect the privacy of healthcare consumers. In addition to the privacy rules, HIPAA includes regulations that establish national standards for the format and structure of electronic communications between covered entities.

The system generates HIPAA payments for only two transaction handling codes: Payment Only and Payment + Advice.

HIPAA entails communication protocol and standards for several business documents. PeopleSoft Payables supports EDI Format 820 (OUTBOUND), specifically designed for HIPAA required fields and values. In order to fully employ HIPAA functionality, you must use a third-party supplier to process the PeopleSoft generated file and transform it to the HIPAA 820 EDI format.

The HIPAA information you define at the supplier location level appears by default on vouchers for the supplier location. You can override this information for a voucher on the HIPAA page in the Voucher component. The system performs validation during online voucher entry and as part of the Voucher Build process which checks for HIPAA payment designation and marks such vouchers as Payment Separate.

Note: Sales and use tax applicability defaults from the supplier location are used only for PeopleSoft Purchasing transactions. Sales and use tax applicability for vouchers defaults from the ship to location. You will, however, see a warning message if a voucher's ship to location and supplier default tax applicability are in conflict.

Ship To Location

If you want this field's value to be passed from a higher level in the control hierarchy, select the Default option. If you want the transaction to inherit these options from the supplier location, select Specify, and enter a ship to location.

Each ship to location has an associated sales tax code and rate. You set up ship to locations on the Ship To Locations page.

Ultimate Use Code

Enter an ultimate use code for the supplier location. The ultimate use code defines a special tax rate that applies when a taxable item is used in a particular way.

You define ultimate use codes on the Ultimate Use Codes page.

Tax Destination

The tax destination is the code that actually affects voucher processing, because it is used for the default tax code lookup. When you select a specific ship to location, the Tax Destination field is automatically populated with the same value. You can override the value by selecting a different ship to location as your tax destination.

Each ship to location has an associated sales tax code and rate. Selecting a different tax destination enables you to process the tax on goods that you receive in one location but ship to another location.

Note: The ultimate use code is not used with the tax destination code.

Sales Tax Tolerance

These fields enable you to designate tolerances for the difference between the sales tax that is entered on a voucher header and that which is calculated by the system. To define the tolerance at the supplier location level, enter values in this group box.

You can describe the tolerance as a fixed amount or as a percentage of gross. You must specify a currency for the tolerance amount and a rate type, so that the tolerance amount can be converted to the voucher transaction currency.
