POR Procedure (Switzerland) 

Use

The POC procedure is a payment in procedure offered by the Swiss Postal Service to firms based in Switzerland. POC subscribers are given a POC number in the vendor master record.

Activities

The batch input program RFESR000 is used to enter incoming customer payments that are delivered on a data medium by the post office (VESR) or bank (BESR) according to the Swiss POR procedure. The batch input session created by the program clears the open items.

This program supports both the POR procedure with nine-digit subscriber numbers as well as the old POR procedure with five-digit subscriber numbers.

To run the program, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Incomings ® Payments ® Returned Bills of Exchange ® POR Procedure (Switzerland).

    2. You reach the initial screen.

  2. In the initial screen, specify the path and file name of the input file.
  3. Specify the import options.
  4. Choose Program ® Execute.

Prerequisites

  1. The content of the data carrier must be transferred to a UNIX file. RFESR000 needs a cleaned-up version, containing records of 100 bytes in length.

    2. If the original file is delivered on MS-DOS diskettes (3 1/2" or 5 1/4"), you can use program RFESR100 to compile. For other data carrier formats, you need to adapt program RFESR100.

  2. In the Accounting configuration menu, you must, for each POC subscriber, maintain a document type, company code, incoming payment account, and payment clearing account, so that you can create batch input sessions.

In the Bank POC; you must also specify the customer ID number. You must not fill this field in the Post POC.
