Validity Checks for Supplier Payments via BankGiro and PlusGiro (Sweden)

This document describes the error messages that can be displayed online or in a printed error report when you use payment proposals that include payments via the Swedish BankGiro or PlusGiro.

Introduction

Swedish supplier payments can be sent electronically to two different payment institutes: BankGiro and PlusGiro. M3 applies a number of automated validity checks already when the proposal is created to ensure that only invoices matching the requirements of BankGiro and PlusGiro are included in the payment proposal.

Any invoices that do not match the requirements are excluded and printed on an error report (APS136PF) together with an error status.

M3 also performs similar validity checks when the user:

Changes the supplier bank account for an invoice in 'Supplier Payment Proposal. Update Details' (APS137)
Changes the company bank account.

Bank Formats

Each institute accepts two bank formats, one for domestic payments and one for foreign payments.

BankGiro, domestic payments (SE-BGL)
BankGiro, foreign payments (SE-BGF)
PlusGiro, domestic payments (SE-PGL)
PlusGiro, foreign payments (SE-PGF).

The formats are generated by pressing F14 in 'Bank Format. Open' (CRS695). The files are then created via the M3 e-Collaborator based on these bank formats.

The payment method, to which a bank format is connected, is the link between the bank format and the supplier invoice.

Valid Currencies

Each bank format can have one valid local currency and/or up to three valid foreign currencies. In Sweden, only the local currency (SEK) and euro (EUR) are permitted as currencies for the bank format for domestic BankGiro and PlusGiro payments. For BankGiro payments to a PlusGiro account, only the local currency (SEK) is permitted.

When a supplier payment proposal is created in (APS130), an automated check is performed to ensure that each invoice is in the currency of the respective bank format. The check is based on the invoice's payment method, to which the bank format is connected in (CRS071). Any invoices with a different currency are excluded and printed on an error list (APS136PF) instead.

Check Digit Method

In most controls, M3 verifies that the check digit method selected for the bank account indicator that is connected to the bank account is correct. Some check digit methods are only valid for certain types of payments. See Control Methods for Configuration of Bank Accounts (Sweden).

Error Messages

The error report (APS136PF) can include the following error statuses that apply to Swedish BankGiro and PlusGiro payments only. (For a description of general error statuses, see Using Payment Proposals to Create Supplier Payments.
