This activity code is used to benefit the functionalities as well as the pre-parameterisation of the international bank transfers. In practice, the notion of an intermediary bank is often used in commercial relationships with non-western countries at the request of the business partners or issuing banks. This is the bank through which the funds transit between the issuing bank and that of the recipient. This activity code is therefore used to activate certain additional fields for the domiciliation of the intermediary bank at Business partner (BP) level:

Bank of the beneficiary:
  • Domiciliation addresses (3 and 4)
  • BIC code
  • IBAN code
Intermediary bank:
  • Domiciliations (1,2 and 3)
  • BIC code
  • Country of the intermediary bank

Functions concerned

The following functions are impacted by the activity code  :

  Common data > BPs > Customers

  Common data > BPs > BPs

  Common data > BPs > Carriers

Remarks

This management being infrequently used, these fields are entered and viewed at the level of the BP and in Record mode.
The VIRINTER bank file parameterization is adapted as a consequence (dedicated records 05 and 06).
Finally, once this activity code is activated, the payment transaction is used to view the intermediate bank information on payment entry (right click "Bank ID info" on the BP Bank ID).
