Understanding Inbound and Outbound Payments for Brazil

You use automatic payment processing to pay vouchers during your usual payment cycle. To process automatic payments, you assign formats to payment instruments. You then create payment groups. After you create payment groups, you process automatic payments in the group. When you select the Write function for your payment group, the system determines which payment formats to generate, based on the payment formatting programs that you assign to your payment instruments.

When you set up your system to use the Dynamic Formatter program (P76B474) for electronic payments, you write the outbound flat file in a layout that your bank wants to use, and you write the information that you receive in an inbound flat file in the layout that you want to use.

The outbound process for automatic payments sends records from the following tables to the specified bank:

• F0411 (Accounts Payable Ledger)

• F04571 (A/P Payment Control Group)

• F04572 (A/P Payment Header)

• F04573 (A/P Payment Detail)

The inbound process for automatic payments uploads incoming flat files to the File Upload for Bank Transaction Inbound Process table (F76B474I), and then to tables F04571, F04572, and F04573. You then continue processing the inbound records according to your usual procedures.

To use automatic banking for payment processing for Brazil:

• Create the layouts that your banks require for incoming data and assign the layouts to outbound transactions.

• Create the payment instruments that you need.

• Create the versions that you need for the Create A/P Electronic Bank Diskette - Dynamic Formatter program.
