How to: Export Electronic Payments

  • Article

You can use the Export Electronic Payments report to export payment journal entries to a file based on the Automated Clearing House (ACH) standard file format or the International ACH Transaction (IAT) file format. The file can then be used to transmit electronic payments to a bank. For more information, see How to: Transmit Electronic Payments.

To export electronic payments

  1. In the Search box, enter Payment Journals, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the Navigate FastTab, choose Electronic Payments, and then choose Export.

  3. In the Export Electronic Payments window, on the Options FastTab, fill in the fields as described in the following table.

    Field Description

    Bank Account No.

    Enter the bank account from which these payments will be taken.

    Settle Date

    Enter the settle date that will be transmitted to the bank. This date will become the posting date for the exported payment journal entries. Transmission should occur two or three banking days before the settle date. Ask your bank for the exact number of days.

    If Posting Date does not match Settle Date:

    Select what will occur if the posting date does not match the settle date. The options are to change the posting date to match the entered settle date, or to skip any payment journal lines where the entered posting date does not match the settle date.

    Number of Copies

    Enter the number of additional copies of the remittance advice that will be printed by this process. One document is always printed to mail to the payee, but additional copies can be printed if they are needed.

    Print Company Address

    Select if you want the company address printed on the remittance advice. If not selected, the remittance advice already has the company address preprinted on it.

  4. On the Gen. Journal Line FastTab, select the appropriate filters.
