Setup Considerations

There are several setup considerations to be aware of:

Issue	Considerations
Setting up the Pre-Note Code field	When you set up a vendor in the address book, the default pre-note code for the vendor is P. When you transfer funds electronically, the system changes the code to blank. For the first payment, the system writes the payments for that vendor to the tape with a zero amount and prints a check with the correct amount. Subsequently, the system runs the electronic payment to tape with the correct amount. If you change the bank account code on Bank Account Cross Reference, the system resets the pre-note code to P. The next electronic transfer handles this vendor as a new vendor, unless you change the code to N or blank.
Setting up bank account information	The bank account that you are paying from must be set up on Bank Account Information. This is the source of the account numbers and the next document numbers.
Setting up the payee on the payment order	The payee on the payment order is determined by a processing option for pre-payment processing. If you enter 1 in this option, the system remits payments to any special payee that you have set up.
Defining the method of payment	The Description - 2 field on user-defined Codes (P0004A) for Payment Instrument (00/PY) lists the programs called to print the payment register and create the actual payments. You can define how the job should run by designating the payment instrument, such as a check, draft, or electronic funds transfer, when you create the bank tape table.
