How to: Submit DTA Payments
To submit DatenTrägerAustausch (DTA) payments to your bank for payment, you must do the following:
Generate a DTA file for electronic payment after printing the payment advice.
Print the DTA payment order.
Before you submit DTA payments, you must verify the list of vendors for DTA payment. For more information, see How to: Verify a List of Vendors for DTA Payments.
You can post the payment journal after the bank payments are complete. In the payment journal, you can have the DTA payments suggested based on posted invoices. The suggested payments contain vendor and external document number information, and can be modified. For more information, see How to: Suggest DTA Payment for Vendors.
