Processing Outbound Automatic Payments

Before you process outbound bank records, you must set up bank layouts and associate the layouts with outbound transactions for each payment instrument for each bank with which you work. You then run the Create A/P Electronic Bank Diskette - Dynamic Formatter batch program (R76B047SE) to write records to the F0457 and F04572OW tables.

You use the Bank Transaction Outbound Process program (P76B474O) to write records from the F40457 and F04572OW tables to the text file. When you create the text file, the system writes the file in the correct layout as determined by the transaction type, payment instrument, and bank code that you specified in the Bank Information for Dynamic Formatter program.
