Bank Transfer Process

The payroll process manager uses the preliminary data medium exchange (pre-DME) program to evaluate the payroll results to create payment data. Creating payment data is the first step in the process of wage and salary payment.

The bank transfer process is a three-step process:

  1. Create pre-DME file - the payroll process manager generates the preliminary data medium exchange (shortened DME) files.
  2. Create DME file - a DME file is a data exchange file, containing all bank transactions and having the same format as the file used by the bank for your country. The final DME files will be created based on the previously created pre-DME files.
  3. The DME file is used to send to the bank payment data formatted according to the banking rules of a country. The step of sending a data medium exchange file to the bank for processing is purely a customer-defined process. This could either be a manual activity to download the DME file from the application server and send it to the bank or an automated one in which the DME files are transferred to the relevant bank.
