Understanding Automatic Debit Formats

You create records in the F03B57OW table to meet country-specific requirements of the bank. To do this, specify the bank-file format program on the Revise Auto Debit Controls form.

If a program is not available for the country-specific requirements, you must create a custom program for the bank's specifications.

You can format automatic debit information for the bank in one of these ways:

  • Enter the format program number (such as R03B575DD) into the processing option of the Process Auto Debits program (R03B571) prior to running it in final mode

  • Enter the program number on the Revise Auto Debit Controls form, and then run that program manually by choosing Format Bank File from the Row menu of the Work with Auto Debit Batches form.

When you complete this process, the system changes the value of the Status field of the F03B571 table from 3 (Bank File Formatted).

If you are using a custom program, ensure that it updates the Status field in the Auto Debit Batch Control table. You should use one of the supplied programs as a template if you are creating a custom program for this purpose.
