LDC (Bank Interfaces)

The payment of benefit payments, fund expenses and investments via electronic fund transfer (EFT), using ABSA’s Linked Direct Control (LDC) Bank Interface service.

Account holder validation file extract

The bank account numbers for EFT payments made via the LDC Bank Interface service must be validated prior to the EFT file being processed.

The following batch job will be run several times a day to extract the bank account details for validation:

Batch Job 93

Account Holder Validation

JU2AT_AHV\Bju2ato0.bat

All bank account records with a status of NOT VALIDATED will be read and the following details will be extracted:

- Account Number

- Branch Code

- Name

An account holder validation (AHV) file will be created and placed in a folder with the name OUTGOING.

The AHV via LDC only validates account numbers for ABSA, First National Bank (FNB) and Standard Bank (SBSA).

Separate files will be created, one for the ABSA bank accounts and one for all other bank accounts.

Once the file has been extracted and processed, it will be moved to a folder with the name ARCHIVE.

When the EFT records are extracted in the EFT batch jobs, the system will read the value for Description on the Global Parameter with a Parameter Type of EFT CUT-OFF. If the current time is greater than the value found and the Date Effective on the EFT Instruction is less than or equal to current date, the value for Action Date on the EFT file will be set to the next working day.

Note:

Although these transactions might be authorised before the cut-off time, the EFT batch jobs may only be run after the cut-off time.

Currently the LDC batch job is scheduled to run in the batch schedule prior to 15h00 and therefore the transactions created before the cut-off should always be processed prior to the cut-off. However, this is only applicable to the LDC file and if for any reason the batch job does not complete prior to the cut-off or the batch job is run at a later time, the transactions will be rejected. .

Contra record

A contra record will be created for each standard transaction record via the following batch job:

Batch Job 80

LDC File Extract

JU2AQ_LDC\Bju2aqo0.bat

Note:

Usually, a contra record is created for the sum of all of the transactions with the same user branch (USBR 130). This presents a problem for the bank reconciliation as the contra record is the transaction that appears on the user bank account, i.e. the scheme bank account, and therefore the entry that will be included in the ReconFocus bank statement file. The transaction created in the scheme's ledger is the individual EFT and therefore it will not be possible to reconcile the total transaction on the bank statement with the individual transactions in the scheme's ledger.

Unpaid EFT and rejections file

The following batch job will produce a file containing unpaid and rejected EFT’s:

Batch Job 94

Unpaid EFT and Rejections

JU2AU_UNPEFT\Bju2auo0.bat

The file containing the unpaid EFT’s and redirected EFT’s will be placed in a folder with the name INCOMING. The file will have the name ZR02388.OUTPUT.datetimestamp. The format of the datetimestamp will be MMDDHHMMSS.

If there are errors in the file, the file will be placed in a folder with the name ERROR.

Once the file has been processed successfully it will be moved to a folder with the name COMPLETED.

Note:

To re-process payments, the Replace EFT Payment sub-menu selection on the JU4BN Benefit Details screen can be used to re-process benefit payments for which the EFT payment has been rejected. This process creates a new disposal instruction and enables a new payment to be authorized for the payment that was rejected.

For all other payments the following Accounting Activity must be used to process the replacement payment:

Process	Acc Activity	S/holder	Dr Account	Cr Account
MANUAL INITIATE	UNPAIDEFTREP	FUND	UNPAID EFT	BANK

The format of the file is contained in the table below.
