Bank Account Numbers
You can use Customer Bank Number Excel Integration (27.20.1.8) and Supplier Bank Number Excel Integration (28.20.1.7) to load bank numbers and modify existing bank number records. You can also export the data to Excel for update or review.
Note: This same function is available for suppliers; the description here applies to both customers and suppliers.
You can use the Load Bank Numbers option in the right-click menu in the grid to load all existing customer bank numbers. You can then make mass updates to all the customer bank numbers; for example, changing the own bank number of a cross-section of customers. The Existing Record field in the grid lets you determine whether the bank number record you modified updates an existing record or creates a new bank number record.
For a description of how to import data from Excel, see Introduction to QAD Enterprise Applications User Guide.

Existing Record
This field lets you control how the system treats existing bank number records modified using Bank Number Excel Integration. When using Bank Number Excel Integration, the combination of customer code, bank number, own bank number, and payment format uniquely identifies a record.
If you modify an existing bank number record in the grid and leave the Existing Record field selected, the system tries to locate a unique bank number record to update that has the same key identifier values as the record you modified in the grid. If the system locates a single matching record, it saves your change as a modification to the existing record. If the system cannot find a matching record to update, an error message displays.
If you modify an existing bank number record in the grid and deselect the Existing Record field, the system saves your change as a new bank number record.
When you load existing bank number records from the database, the Existing Record field is automatically selected for bank numbers that have never been used in a payment and is deselected for bank numbers that have been used in payments. If a bank number is used in a payment, you can no longer update the bank number record.
Important: Before using combinations of own bank numbers and payment formats in Excel integration, you must define them first in Bank Payment Format Link.
Bank Account Format
Specify the code set up in Bank Account Format Create for validating this bank account number.
Last Modified Date/Time and User
These read-only fields display the ID of the user who last updated this record and the date and time of update.
