Understanding Bank Layouts

A bank layout is a set of specifications comprising attributes. You create bank layouts by using the Dynamic Formatter Layout Setup program (P76B471). You use the bank layouts for processing electronic files for inbound and outbound payments and receipts. After you create a bank layout, you define the record types that the layout uses for inbound and outbound processes, and then you define the attributes and the position of the attributes for each inbound and outbound record type.

Banks in Brazil often use different layouts for different payment instruments. You should create a bank layout for each payment instrument for each bank with which you work.

After you create bank layouts, you must set up bank information for electronic banking. To set up bank information, perform these actions:

1. Define the bank layouts that you want to use for automatic payments and automatic receipts.

2. Specify the payment instrument for each transaction type.

3. Create a cross-reference for attributes that relates the value which the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system uses for an attribute to the value that the bank uses.

4. Set up next numbers that the system uses when you generate the flat file.
