EFT Reason Codes Page (for Drafts)

EFT_BANK_REASON

Set up reason codes for draft processing.

See also the EFT Reason Codes Page (for Direct Debits) for direct debit processing.

To set up EFT reason codes, use the EFT Reason Codes component (EFT_BANK_REASON).

In some countries, the bank sends an EFT file after you submit your drafts to the bank confirming whether the payment was collected. The file contains a reason code for each payment record that indicates whether it was collected. If it is not collected the reason code indicates why it was not collected. You run the AR_DRAFT_BNK Application Engine process to process the bank EFT file and to update the status of the Draft Control record. When you run the Receivable Update process, it creates the appropriate accounting entries based on the change to the control record.

Use the EFT Reason Codes page (EFT_BANK_REASON) to set up reason codes for draft processing.
