Setting Up Banking

Setting up banking involves entering three categories of information on up to 11 pages. The setup involves:

  • Identifying banks, branches, and accounts for your company and payees.

  • Identifying source banks and defining the level of funding.

  • Identifying transfer banks and scheduling disbursements.

    Employees can specify percentage or amount disbursements to any number of bank accounts for each payment type (salary or bonus).

Banking setup steps are documented fully in the "Understanding Banking" topic of the core PeopleSoft Global Payroll. However, there are some details about following these steps that are important for banking in Japan.
