AP payment custom build program

Question

I have a requirement to create an AP payment file format specific to a Bank (Oracle 11i). The bank accepts payment file in 2 different formats.
Format X: to make payment in its own country (Netherlands). i.e. payment for invoices where supplier bank is in Netherlands.
Format Y: to make payment in all other counties (except Netherlands).
Standard Oracle Payment SELECT/BUILD program selects Invoices for all countries (for the param given: pay batch, currency..)
If I create two payment FORMAT programs; one to pick up the Invoices for payment in Netherlands and another to pickup invoices for payment in all other counties; will it be fine ?
OR
I have to create a custom BUILD program to build a payment batch considering counties of supplier (and payment FORMAT program to create the flat file)
Help Appreciated !!
Thanks

Answer 1

Define 2 concurrent program to format batch records and create payment file
(or a single program with technical handling of batch type)
Define 2 automatic payment format program

NL Foreign Payments Program
NL Domestic Payments Program
