Understanding Payment Formats for Germany

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software supports these country-specific automatic payment formats for Germany:

Format	Description
R04572G1	Bank tape format.
R04572G2	Diskette format.
R04572G3	Check format.
R04572G5	Z1 diskette format. This format supports IBAN; the output records contain the IBAN number and other related IBAN information if you set up IBAN information for your suppliers. The system uses IBAN information for the standard EU transfer type for foreign payments. Note: The R04572G5 format calls the R04573G application, which creates a paper attachment to accompany the electronic submission (form Z1).

If you print German checks, you must specify the German translation program (X00500D). To specify, access the processing options for the Print Automatic Payments - Check - Germany program (R04572G3). Enter X00500D in the Translation processing option.
