Common data > BP accounting tables > Economic reason codes 

Use this function to manage and create economic reason codes to use when generating payment balance declarations.

This allows you to meet country-specific requirements to prepare periodic statistical declarations on external payments and/or receivables or liabilities. You can apply an economic reason code to a group of BPs or an individual BP. See Economic reason/BP groups.

Depending on the country, these declarations are sent to the National Bank or a statistics office and include BP country, monetary amounts, and an economic reason code that identifies the type of payment, receivable, or liability.

The economic reason codes (declaration to the payment balance) are used during the payment creation and appear in the bank files.

The grid displays all the existing codes that you can edit or delete using the Edit icon and Actions icon menu on each line.
