EFT payments Australia

Posted on by Maarten VS 45

Hi,

I am using the Australian localisation of BC and trying to set up EFT. Creating an EFT works fine, but when trying to post the payment journal line, I get an error that states that the "Exported to payment file" boolean is 0. This is indeed so, but I can not see a way to get this value to 1. Exporting the payment does not work, because then I get a whole array of errors related to the "Payment export format" that can not be 0. There are only 2 SEPA payment export formats pre-defined, but nothing specifically for Australia. It is also strange that "Payment export format" is required, because the EFT file has been already created. How can I resolve this issue, or find more info about EFT setup (microsoft docs is very limited in its documentation of this topic)?

Thanks!

    You don't need to setup any payment export format for EFT Payment in Australia. The format is fixed based on ABA.

    In payment journal , you need to use "Create EFT Payment FIe" under EFT Payment then you can go to EFT Register if you want to re-export or cancel the file

    Yes, indeed, thanks Aotto. The creation of the EFT file (aba format) works fine. But the problem is that I can not post the payment line in the journal. It requires to be "exported to file", and creating the EFT file does not trigger this flag to "True". Are you able to post the journal entry / payment?

    okay. There is a field Bank payment type in gen. journal line, can you make sure the value = blank.

    Exported payment file is not used by AU localisation. AU use EFT Register no.

    if cannot, you need to  "Cancel EFT Payment Export" and  recreate the journal. Just make sure the bank payment type = blank before you export the file

    Thank you so much, that worked!!

    Strange how this is implemented, just one of the this you have to know I guess

    Yes. It's because MS didn't disable the other "Payment File functionality" so it's a mixed up between AU and other country.
