Run a process to create a payment file that contains banking details.

File Handles JPN Page

GPJP_FILE_HANDL

Assign a handle to each file that you want to export.

Create EFT Payment File JPN Page

Create EFT payment file. Run the EFT process, which prepares the EFT flat file that you transmit to the appropriate bank and launches the SQR program that prints the Banking report (GPJPBA01).

This diagram illustrates the payroll EFT process flow for Japan, which includes descriptions of each step from the finalization of payroll to the printing of reports or the creation of a flat output file:

The steps in this section correspond to the numbers in the preceding diagram:

  1. Process payroll in the Global Payroll core application.

  2. Run the Global Payroll for Japan banking process.

    This process populates the GP_PAYMENT output record.

    Note: Select the Finalize check box on the Banking Run Control page when you run the Banking process. If you do not, there won't be any data available for the next step.

  3. Run the Global Payroll for Japan EFT process (GPJP_BA01_AE).

    This process selects all rows in GP_PAYMENT that have a status of Finalized for the specified calendar group ID, run type name, and source bank ID.

    The process populates the following records, which form the header, transaction, and trailer of both the EFT file and the printed report:

    • GPJP_BA_HEADER: The data in this record comes from the run control parameters that you enter on the EFT page.

      It identifies the company and the source bank account information.

    • GPJP_BA_TRANS: The data in this record comes from GP_PAYMENT and from the source and transfer bank data that you set up previously.

      It details the employee information, the transfer bank account information, and the amount of the transfer.

    • GPJP_BA_TRAILER: This record stores totals, such as the number of records in the TRANS record and the total amount of money being transferred.

      The process changes the status of rows in GP_PAYMENT from Finalized to Transferred.

  4. The EFT process consolidates the data from the three records into one EFT file that you send to the source bank.

    It uses the file name and character set from the File Handles JPN page.

  5. The EFT process launches the SQR program (GPJPBA01 SQR).

  6. The SQR program prints the Banking report in the standard character set by using data from the same three records as the EFT file.

You must set up file handles on the File Handles JPN page before you can run the EFT process. The file handle looks up the file name and character set (single-byte Katakana) that is used to generate the file.

Use the Run Banking Process JPN page (GPJP_RC_BA02) to run a process to create a payment file that contains banking details.
