Defining cash payment formats

You select formatting options for each type of cash payment you are using. Formatting options are information about the actual payment, such as the starting document number and whether the remittance should be attached or separate. This procedure outlines the process for defining cash payment formats.

Define a cash payment format

  1. Access Cash Payment Formats (CB00.5).
  2. Select the cash code and transaction code you want to define a format for. Complete the rest of the form, considering these fields.
    Format

    Select a format for the cash payment from the list of values. Cash payments can be produced in several formats.

    Note: If you are using AP161, set the format to Electronic File. If you are using AP160, set the format to ACH Tape.
    Starting Document Number

    If you are defining a printed document and you want the checks to start with a number other than 1, specify the starting document number you would prefer.

    Remittance

    Select the format for a remittance. Your options include:

    • always attaching the remittance to the payment, with overflow lines printing on voided payment forms

    • always attaching the remittance to the payment, with overflow lines printing on a separate remittance form

    • printing the remittance on a separate form than the payment

    Attached Detail Lines

    If printing remittance forms, specify the number of lines to print on the attached or original remittance form. If left blank, 14 defaults.

    Overflow Detail Lines

    If you selected Overflow in the Remittance Option field, specify the number of detail lines to print on the overflow remittance form. If left blank, 58 defaults.

    Language

    Select the language in which you want to print payment documents and remittance forms.

    Rejection Code

    If you selected ACH Tape, Electronic File, SWIFT File, or ETEBAC File in the Format field, select a valid bank transaction code that will create a bank transaction adjustment when the bank rejects the payment tape or file record.
