How to create ABA files for batch payments

Once you have made payments marked as EFT Batch you will need to create the ABA file to upload to the bank.

1. In the Accounts Payable tab, click Batch Payment.
   
   
   
2. In this screen you will see the unlinked transactions total at the top, and all the batch payments down the bottom. If you want to exclude certain payments from the batch, untick the transactions in the bottom half.
   
   
   
3. Right Click on the Unlinked Transactions, then click Create New.
   
   
   
4. Click Yes.
   
   
   
5. A pop up will appear confirming that the batch was created.
   
   
   
6. Right Click on the Batch, then click Export as ABA File.
   
   
   
7. You will then be prompted to save the file to your PC.
8. A pop up will appear confirming that the ABA file has been exported. You can now upload this file to your bank account.
   
   
   
9. Once the file has been accepted, Right Click on the Batch, then click Roll Up Batch. This will ensure that only the total figure of the batch will display on the bank reconciliation instead of the multiple payment transactions.
   
   
   
10. Click Yes.
