Bank Account Other Party Name; logic to make mandatory updated

When creating a Bank Export file, some Banks require that the Other Party Name is non-blank. If the Name has not been entered this means the file will fail to import into the Banking System. Therefore extra validation has been added to force the Name to be entered.

The Other Party Name is required for all Australian files and in New Zealand for "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Credit)" and "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Debit)".

Therefore, when entering a Bank Account, the Other Party Name will become mandatory under the following circumstances:

  • Country is Australia
  • Country is New Zealand and
    • Payment Method selected is exported using Export Service type "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Credit)" or "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Debit)".
    • For Client Banking Details, if any active Bank Account has an active Bank Export service of type "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Credit)" or "BNZ GIFTS (Direct Debit)".

Note, In Australia the Other Party Name is mandatory in Client Banking, but not in Account Payment Details. This is now mandatory in both places.
