Consideration for Create A/P Bank Tape - Denmark UNIBANK - Foreign

Use the Create A/P Bank Tape - Denmark UNIBANK - Foreign payment format when making international payments through Nordea Bank. The system uses the payment instrument of the payment to determine which of these Unitel bank software formats to use:

  • Economy Transfer (UBT04800).

  • Ordinary Transfer (UBT04900).

  • Express Transfer (UBT05000).

  • Intercompany Transfer to Foreign Bank (UBT05100).

  • Intercompany Transfer to Nordea's International Units (UBT05200).

The file layout is the same for all of the international payment formats. When you run the Create A/P Bank Tape - Denmark UNIBANK - Foreign program, the system uses one of the formats and creates one record for each payment as shown in this table:
