Control Methods for Configuration of Bank Accounts (Sweden)

Overview

The purpose of the control method is to validate values automatically when a bank account is registered or changed in 'Bank Account. Open' (CRS692). This automated validation includes these actions:

Performing a check digit control of BankGiro and PlusGiro numbers
Verifying field contents
Verifying the relation between values entered
Checking whether a field is mandatory or optional
Verifying that required additional bank account fields exist
Retrieving recipient numbers required for suppliers without a BankGiro or PlusGiro number.

Control Methods for Sweden

Control methods are available for these scenarios:


Check Digit Mtd	Description	AR/AP	Bank Account Type
31	Remittance – BankGiro	AP, AR	01 (Company)
32	Remittance – PlusGiro	AP, AR	01 (Company)
34	Domestic payments – BankGiro	AP	03 (Supplier)
35	Foreign payments – BankGiro	AP	03 (Supplier)
36	Domestic payments – PlusGiro	AP	03 (Supplier)
37	Foreign payments – PlusGiro	AP	03 (Supplier)
38	AutoGiro consent – BankGiro	AR	02 (Customer)
39	AutoGiro consent – PlusGiro	AR	02 (Customer)

The Elements of the Control Method

Each control method consists of a combination of some or all of these elements:

Company-defined bank account fields in the bank account indicator (all methods)
Check digit method selected for the bank account indicator (all methods)
Additional bank account fields (some methods)
Number series for recipient numbers (some methods).

Company-Defined Bank Accounts

Each bank account indicator, created in 'Bank Account Indicator. Open' (CRS072), consists of up to five company-defined bank account fields and a check digit method. Each field definition consists of a field heading, the length of each field and a definition of whether it is numeric and left-adjusted. The company-defined fields in the bank account indicator are displayed when you register a bank account in 'Bank Account. Open' (CRS692) that is connected to the bank account indicator in question.

Each scenario listed above requires a bank account indicator that is unique.

Check Digit Method

The check digit method selected for the bank account indicator has a dual function in the control methods described in this document:

To perform a check digit control of BankGiro and PlusGiro numbers
To define the automated validation of values unique to each control method.

Additional Bank Account Fields

For Swedish payments, the standard bank account fields in 'Bank Account. Open' (CRS692) are not sufficient. You need to generate these additional fields by pressing F14 in 'Bank Account Field. Create Additional' (CRS083):


Field	Description	Properties	Checked?*
301	Organization number	10 pos., alphanumeric	Yes
302	Customer's payer number** (BankGiro)	16 pos., numeric	Yes
303	Customer's payer number** (PlusGiro)	18 pos., alphanumeric	Yes
304	Accounting unit number – send (PlusGiro)	10 pos., alphanumeric	No
305	Accounting unit number – receive (PlusGiro)	10 pos., alphanumeric	No
306	Total IN-ID (PlusGiro)	12 pos., alphanumeric	No

* That is, whether the content in the respective field is validated by a control method.

** The customer's payer number can be a bank account, personal ID number or similar.

You then connect one or more of these additional fields to a bank account by selecting option 11='Add bank account fields' in (CRS692/B) to display 'Bank Account. Connect Additional Field' (CRS693).

Recipient Number

Recipient Number A recipient number is required for supplier payments when the supplier does not have a BankGiro or PlusGiro number. The number is used in the electronic bank file to connect all records in the file to that specific payee/supplier. The recipient is only stored in company-defined field 5 in 'Bank Account. Open' (CRS692) in M3. The number is retrieved automatically when you register a bank account, depending on the check digit method used.

You must create these number series on company level in 'Number Series. Open' (CRS165):

67/1: Recipient number (BankGiro) (5 positions)
67/2: Recipient number (PlusGiro) (10 positions)

Remittance – BankGiro (31)
