JAPAN_011 - Define Branch Group for Merged Banks (Japan)

Use

In this IMG activity, you define which branches of the merged bank belong to the same branch group. When banks merge, their individual branches can choose to join a common branch group or to remain independent. Branches in the same branch group do not charge each other for services, so it costs less to transfer funds to banks in the same branch group. You can specify which branches participate in such an agreement by defining the branch groups here. The Payment Medium Japan - Domestic DME (and Bank Charges) report can then calculate the bank charge for all banks in a defined bank and branch group.

Activities

You define the branch group for the merged bank and branch keys for each paying company. The branches of the merged bank defined under the same branch group are regarded as being the same branch of the merged bank when a bank charge is calculated. So, although the sending and receiving branches of banks are different, the system considers two branches of the merged banks defined under the same branch group as being one and the same. This means that the bank type is 1 in the IMG activity Define Bank Charges for Japan. If the branches of the merged banks are not defined under the same branch group, but are still in the same bank group, the bank type is 2. If the branches are not in the same branch group or the same bank group, the bank type is 3.

Example

For an example of how the report calculates the charges for branches belong to the same group, see the IMG activity Define Bank Charges for Japan.
