Question:

Can one view the payment file formats as templates in Dynamics AX? what is the file type and the field structure in CustIn Format1 payment format?

Answer:

the method of payment(mop) file formats are based on well defined national standards, hence the format to a great extent is fixed...what I mean to say is that because paym file formats are fixed, there is no reason why end users should be provided with a template/form to modify the format.. is there?

the file formats are 'very' hard coded...that doesnt mean that they are hard to modify... but only a developer can make those changes..

There is a class for each file format and it fits in to a very well defined class hierarchy... to give you an idea of the class hierarchy.. :

There is a class called CustVendPayFormatCtrl.. this is the root class ... there are 2 classes that extend this class and they define the module (cust, vend) the payment format is for... the classes are called CustPaymFormatCtrl and VendPaymFormatCtrl.

then there is another level of classes, when extend the above 2 classes.. the classes at this level define the purpose of the file format (import, export, return, etc), these classes are CustOutPaym, CustInPaym, etc....

The last level of classes is there the file format is actually defined.. for example CustInPaymBank1..

with regards to the question on CustIn Format 1..bas far as i can see the file needs to be a csv file.. and the fields are
