When bank accounts are set up in the Bank Accounts tab in Payroll Setup > Bank Accounts, the Parameters section is only displayed for bank accounts that operate in specific countries:
- For banks operating in Ireland, the Parameters section is used to add additional parameters to generate a SEPA file for your financial institution. When the parameter fields are added, you can click Export to generate and send the file to your bank.
- For banks operating in Singapore, the section allows you to add additional banking information to support bank office processes.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Path Name |
Select the path name for the additional field. Dayforce provides some common path names for you to use. Selecting a path name here automatically completes the rest of the fields for the parameter. For example, selecting Originator address causes Dayforce to complete the rest of the fields as follows:
|
| Path |
For SEPA files, select the path of the additional field. Format is Section/Subsection/Field. For example, GrpHdr-IntgPty-Nm (Group Header-Initiating Party-Name). For Singapore banks, this field is completed automatically when you select a path name. Paths that apply to Singapore banks include a "BA-" prefix. |
| Value Name | Select the name of the value, if needed. In all cases, this field is completed automatically when you select a path name. For example, if you selected Name of the originator in the Path Name drop-down list, Dayforce automatically selects Legal Entity Name in the Value Name field. |
| Value | Enter a value for the field, if appropriate. In some cases, you won't add a specific value because it would overwrite all other values (for example, if you added the Beneficiary Address field). But, if you are adding a single value field, such as the Name of the originator field, you can enter the value here. Continuing the example from earlier in this table, Dayforce automatically adds LegalEntityName in the Value field when you select Name of the originator in the Path Name drop-down list, but you can enter the specific value if you want. |
| Insert After |
When you add a user-defined field (that is, you select *User Defined in the Path Name drop-down list), you can use the Insert After field to specify where in the SEPA file you want the field to appear. By default, Dayforce adds user-defined fields after the last line at the end of the file. If you want the field to appear in a specific location, enter the token that it should be added after in the Insert After field. This field isn’t used for Singapore banking information. |
The Requested Execution Date Parameter
The Requested Execution Date parameter lets you offset the requested execution date in SEPA files by one, two, or three days before the scheduled pay date. The following values are accepted when you create a Requested Execution Date parameter:
- 1: Offset the execution date by one day.
- 2: Offset the execution date by two days.
- 3: Offset the execution date by three days.
If the Requested Execution Date parameter isn’t added, the application uses the pay date set in the pay calendar for the pay group as the execution date, as expected.
If the adjusted execution date falls on a weekend, bank holiday, or other non-processing day, the application adjusts the date to the nearest eligible processing day when the pay run is validated. For example, if a scheduled payment date lands on a Monday, and the Requested Execution Date parameter is set to 1, the application automatically sets the pay date to Friday, skipping the non-processing days (Sunday and Saturday).
Parameters for Singapore Bank Accounts
For banks operating in Singapore, Dayforce provides the following parameters that you can use to add additional information to the generated bank files for payroll disbursements.
- Bank file format (SG)
- Note: If this parameter isn’t configured for the bank account, Dayforce generates the bank file as a text file by default.
- Bulk Customer Reference. This parameter's value allows you to add a bulk customer reference number in the bank file generated for your organization's UOB account. This field supports up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
- Client Id. This parameter's value allows you to enter the client identifier in the bank file generated for your organization's JP Morgan Chase account.
- Citi Bank File Version. This parameter's value allows you to choose between version 16.4 or 16.6 of the Citibank file import specification. When this parameter is configured, Dayforce generates a bank file that is compliant with the selected version. Version 16.6 adds the SWIFT code in the bank file.
- Connect customer ID
- File authorization mode
- Net customer ID
- Payment code
- Payment reference
- Purpose code
