Bank Locations are all of the banking institutions that the organization deals with directly or indirectly. This section explains the Define Bank screen and its associated fields.

The Define Bank Locations (IPBL) form provides information about the financial institution branches where the organization’s banking is transacted and where the employee’s pay may be deposited.

The information entered in this form will be used to set up the employer’s banking information in the Bank Accounts ([IPBA]) form and the employee’s banking information in the Payment Method ([IPPM]) form.
