Understanding Payment Formats for the United Kingdom

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides these payment formats for the United Kingdom:

Format	Description
P04572B	Electronic funds transfer (EFT) in the Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS) format (tape or diskette)
P04572U1	Checks in the Association for Payment Clearing Services (APACS) format.

Note: All dates for the BACS table are written in a BYYDDD format, according to the standards required by BACS. In this required format, B represents one blank space, YY is the last two digits of the year, and DDD is the Julian date (the number of days that have passed since noon on January 1) in the year. For example, December 31, 2005, is written to the table as 05365 because December 31 is the 365thday of the year.
