Enter Company Identifiers in External Payment Parameters

Explanation

This activity is used to enter and modify the company identifiers in external payment parameters. You can define company identifiers in order to create separate external payments, e.g. in different companies, from one single external file. The company identifier also includes additional parameter which can be used in the file import for the connected company. The parameters of the company identifier will be used, if the specified company identifier is detected in the external file.

This activity is of use only for payment formats with a file template that is used to identify the company in the context of the external file. The company identifier is used for the payment format MT940DE only.

You can enter identifiers only for the companies to which you have access. The payment methods of the identifiers must refer to the same payment format, which is linked to the payment method displayed in the top of the window. If a company identifier is not defined, the external file will be imported in the current company, using the parameters entered in the dialog box for the file import.
