To define EFT layouts, use the EFT File Layout component (EFT_LAYOUT_GBL).
To define ACH layouts, use the ACH Layout component (ACH_LAYOUT_GBL).
PeopleSoft provides several EFT layouts that you can use as delivered or modify. In addition, you must specify EFT payment format codes. These codes define the number of extra settlement days to consider when the system calculates payment schedules for EFTs.
In the event that you need to use an EFT file layout that PeopleSoft does not deliver with this release, you can add a new layout to the EFT processing package.
Note: The processes and procedures described here pertain to the FIN2025 electronic payment file formatting process used by Receivables and by the Pay Cycle Manager in PeopleSoft Payables. Cash Management provides enhanced EFT functionality through its Financial Gateway functionality. To set up payment file formatting for Financial Gateway, refer to the PeopleSoft Financial Gateway documentation.
Use the components described in this topic to:
Add a new layout to the EFT File Layouts page.
(Optional) Modify these existing layouts:
(GBR) BACS
(NLD) BTL91
(CAN) CPA005
(CHE) DTALSV
(DEU) DTAZV
(FRA) ETEBAC
(SGP) FEDI
Create the Structured Query Copybook (SQC) module that formats the payment details into your layout.
PeopleSoft delivers a template to help you do this.
Important! After you create the SQC module, you must tie it to the main EFT routing SQC to enable the EFT layout.
If you are adding additional EFT layouts, you should be familiar with coding in Structured Query Report-writer (SQR).
Delivered ACH and EFT Layouts
PeopleSoft delivers two types of file layouts: those intended for nongovernmental business use and those intended for U.S. Federal government payments.
The "+" suffix of a PPD or CCD file layout indicates the file includes an 80 character addendum section. Addenda records are used by the Originator (originating financial institution) to supply additional information about the detail records that are transferred from the ODFI (Originating Depository Financial Institution) through the ACH Operator to the RDFI (Receiving Depository Financial Institution). The addenda transactions serve as an "envelope" to contain ANSI x.812 EDI 820 transactions.
In PeopleSoft, the CCD+ layout has certain restrictions. The RMR (Remittance Advice Accounts Receivable Open Item Reference) segment is the only transaction (out of many ANSI x.812 EDI 820 transactions) that is supported by PeopleSoft. In addition, the implementation of RMR segment is limited to certain remittance information such as invoice number.
Note: Payment Grouping rules are supported only for payments made through the Financial Gateway and not for Pay cycle payments.
The following table lists the delivered ACH and EFT layout formats that are generally used for nongovernmental payments and their country of use. For file formats that are required by the U.S. Federal Government, see the section entitled U.S. Federal ACH and EFT Layouts.

EFT |
The United States Federal Government (through the U.S. Treasury) has certain requirements for check, ACH, and EFT payments. Setting up this information (that is, defining that the file layout is for employee suppliers, other suppliers, or both) enables edits that are associated with the voucher creation process to work correctly. The edits check that the bank account and the file layout for the supplier payment are correct as per U.S. Treasury specifications.
The edits verify these U.S. Treasury specifications:
Employee payments are on a PPD or PPD+ file format.
Vendor/supplier (non-employee vendor/supplier) payments are on a CCD, CCD+, or CTX file format.
Payments, including both employee and non-employee vendor/suppliers, are on the SF1166SCHK, SPSCHK, or SDPR file format.
Note: You must use the SF1166SCHK, SPSCHK, or SDPR file format for payments that are created for both employee and non-employee vendor/suppliers. These file formats are check requests to the U.S. Treasury, and designed to bypass the system edit for federal ACH or EFT payments.
These EFT and ACH layouts that are delivered by PeopleSoft are specific for use when conducting business with the U.S. Federal government:

You can also add file formats. You should refer to the Federal Management Service bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury web site (http://www.fms.treas.gov) regarding file payment requirements before creating and adding file payment formats.
(USF) IPAC Transactions
Another delivered federal EFT layout (that is listed in the table entitled Delivered ACH and EFT layouts) is the IPAC layout. The Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection (IPAC) System is an interagency funds transfer mechanism for U.S. Federal agencies. The IPAC EFT layout is used in conjunction with Payables to process three types of IPAC transactions: payments, adjustments, and zero-dollar transactions.
If you are processing IPAC transactions in Payables, the following two items must be defined in PeopleSoft banks functionality:
The delivered IPAC EFT layout is enabled for system use (select the pertinent options next to the EFT Layout Code field).
The bank accounts that process IPAC transactions are configured with the IPAC EFT layout on the External Accounts - Payment Methods page.
If you are setting up PeopleSoft EFT functionality to conduct business with United States Federal or government agencies, you must first complete the Enable Federal Payment region on the Installation Options - Payables page. Completing this region ensures that certain federal-specific fields display in this component.

If you do not use any of the delivered EFT layouts in your country, you can develop your own EFT layout. To do this, you must first add the new EFT layout and its options to the list of available EFT layouts using the EFT File Layouts page (EFT_LAYOUT). After you add a new EFT layout, you need to create an SQR module for the file layout that you added. The module that you create will be an SQR Copybook, which has a file extension of SQC.
The files that you require are provided on the system for modification. The FINEFTxx.SQC script, which is shipped with Payables, Receivables, Expenses, and Cash Management, is a template that you can configure to meet your current requirements. In addition, you also need to make changes to the FINEFT.SQC file. This file acts as a router that directs the Pay Cycle process to the appropriate SQC based on the current EFT file layout requirement.
The FINEFTxx.SQC template assumes that one output file is created for each bank account.
File Naming Conventions for EFT Files
The payment process uses these conventions to name the EFT output files: xxxxxnnn.ttt (for example BACS002.txt).
