Banking Instructions Page

GP_SS_NPD_CNF_INST

Create instructions that you want employees to see on pages in the Personal Bank Accounts component. These instructions override any default messages in the Message Catalog.

The steps for setting up and entering personal account data are:

  1. Before employees can use the self-service pages to enter personal bank information, the payroll administrator must set up general bank and bank branch information by using the Bank Table and Branch Table pages in PeopleSoft HCM.

  2. If you want to replace default instructions that appear in the Personal Bank Accounts component (GP_SS_EE_BANK) with instructions that are specific to your company, define these instructions on the Banking Instructions page.

    The new instructions appear in place of default messages from the Message Catalog.

    Note: (GBR) If you are a United Kingdom user, specify additional instructions on the Banking Instructions page for employees that belong to building societies.

After general bank and bank branch information is set up, Global Payroll employees can enter personal bank information, such as bank locations and account types, bank and branch names, account names, account numbers, and currency codes. Employees enter this information by using the Personal Bank Accounts component.

Note: Any information that an employee enters in the Personal Bank Accounts component automatically updates the Maintain Bank Accounts page in the Global Payroll core application.

Use the Banking Instructions page (GP_SS_NPD_CNF_IN) to create instructions that you want employees to see on pages in the Personal Bank Accounts component. These instructions override any default messages in the Message Catalog.
