How can I change the order of Addenda and Entry Detail records in an EFT file in Business Central?

I have been troubleshooting an EFT file formatting issue in Business Central and believe the problem is related to the order in which the Addenda and Entry Detail records are being generated.

In the EFT file generated from Business Central, the Addenda record is currently appearing before the Entry Detail record. For example, in the latest EFT file:

  • 3rd line = Addenda record (contains the External Document No.)
  • 4th line = Entry Detail record

However, the required format is:

  • Entry Detail record
  • Addenda record

This order should be followed for every payment.

Could anyone please advise how this can be configured in Business Central's EFT/Data Exchange Definition so that the Entry Detail is generated first, followed immediately by its corresponding Addenda record?

Is this something that can be configured through the Data Exchange Definition, or would it require a developer customization?

    Is the adenda record set as a Footer or Header?

    Data exchange definitions print in order of the Code field in the following order: Headers > Details > Footers. In the case of my screenshot above it would be Header A > Header B > Detail > Footer A > Footer B.

     

    You can change the code or the Line Type to change the order.
