Bank configuration for using EFT batch/ABA files

If you wish to pay your creditors or your staff wages via EFT batch/ABA files, you will first need to enter some configuration details against your bank account general ledger account.

1. Click System, then System Options.
   
   
   
2. In the Banking Details tab, ensure Enable EFT Batch Payments is ticked.
   
   
   
3. Under either the Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable tabs, click Account Maintenance.
   
   
   
4. Select your Bank Account and click Edit.
   
   
   
5. Navigate to the EFT Details tab.
6. Enter the Bank Code, EFT Remitter, EFT Username, and EFT User Number.
7. Tick the Self Balancing box if required.
   
   

The EFT Remitter and Username are usually the name of your business, however it is recommended to confirm this with your bank.

The EFT User Number is also known as an APCA number, which you will need to contact your bank to obtain. *NAB and ANZ often do not require this, and 000000 can be used in it's place.
