Understanding the Setup for Automatic Payment Processing

Note: Country-specific setup for automatic payment processing exists for Argentina, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Norway, and Sweden.

Before processing automatic payments, you must set up:

Setup Feature	Description
UDCs.	(DEU) Set up the Replaced Character (04/RC) UDC. This UDC enables you to specify acceptable characters that the system uses to replace unacceptable characters in a text file.
Bank account information.	Set up each bank account that you use for payment processing. When you set up your company's bank accounts, you must provide information such as: Next payment number. Number of alignment forms. Number of detail lines per stub. See "Setting Up Bank Accounts" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Financial Management Fundamentals Implementation Guide.
Payee control.	Set up the system for payee control to prevent users from performing fraudulent payment activities.
Payment instruments.	Set up payment instruments and assign them to payment programs.
Print sequences.	Set up print sequences for payments to specify the order in which payments print.
Set up payment information by business unit.	Set up payment information by business unit if you produce payments by business unit.
Prevent your company name from printing on payments.	Prevent the system from printing your company name if your preprinted checks already contain your company name.

If you use deferred payment processing, EFT, or EDI payments, you must also perform additional setup tasks.
