PeopleSoft provides several Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) layouts, which you can use as delivered or modify. In addition, you need to specify EFT payment format codes. These codes define the number of extra settlement days to consider when the system calculates payment schedules for EFTs.
In the event that you need to use an EFT file layout that we don't deliver with this release, you can add a new layout to your EFT processing package.
In this section, we discuss how to:
1. Add the new layout to the EFT File Layout page.
2. (Optional) Modify the following existing layouts:
BACS
BTL91
CPA005
DTALSV
DTAZV
ETBDD
ETBIPT
ETEBAC
FEDI
3. Create the SQC module that formats the payment details into your layout. A template is available to help do this.
Important! After you create the SQC module, you must tie it to the main EFT routing SQC to enable your EFT layout.
If you’re adding additional EFT layouts, you should be familiar with coding in SQR.
Common Elements Used in This Section
EFT Number Number associated with the SQC file name. For example, FINEFT02.SQC.
File Next file number that the system uses every time you create a new file of the specified layout.
File Ext User-defined file extension. For example, BACS002.txt.
To output the file to the Web, it must be .txt.
NNE National Remitter Number. This number is assigned by the National Bank in France for EFT file transmissions.
Output Filename User-defined output file name.

Creating an SQR Module for the EFT File Layout
After you add a new EFT layout, you need to create an SQR module for the file layout you added. The module that you create will be an SQR Copybook, which has a file extension of SQC.
The files you require are provided on the system for modification. The FINEFTxx.SQC script, which is shipped with PeopleSoft Payables, Receivables, Expenses, and Treasury, is a template that you can configure to meet your current requirements. In addition, you also need to make changes to the FINEFT.SQC file—this acts as a router directing the Pay Cycle process to the appropriate SQC based on the current EFT file layout requirement.
The FINEFTxx.SQC template assumes that one output file is created for each bank account.
File Naming Conventions for EFT Files
The payment process uses the following convention to name the EFT output files: xxxxxnnn.ttt.
For example BACS002.txt.
Value Define in this Field
xxxxx Output Filename
nnn File
ttt File Ext (file extension)
You define these values on the EFT File Layout page.
