Electronic Funds Transfer - Connection Tab

Access this tab with Administrative user rights using Organization>Set Up Modules>Electronic Funds Transfer.

Use this tab to set up the connection portion of the module. You must activate the modem and enter the connection properties necessary to transmit the file to your financial institution. If you do not want to use the connection portion provided by the system, select the "Use Other Connection" check box on this tab.

Without the proper use of the connection piece provided by the system, it will not be able to verify that the bank accepted the file. If a file is rejected due to bad data, you will have to manually correct the *.txt file, or void and reprint the vouchers (Pay Selected A/P Invoices and Create/Send A/P Electronic Payments) and re-send the file. If the problem is just a connection error, you should be able to simply retransmit the existing file.

If you are using the connection piece provided by the system and the file was rejected, the system rolls back all the records in the file. Then the file is still available to be sent.

 

Use Other Connection: Select this check box if you are not using the connection portion shipped with the module. You need to use software supplied by your financial institution or by your operating system (for example, HyperTerminal).
