Using Dynamics GP 2010. In Checkbook File Maintenance, using Cards>Financial>Checkbook. Selecting the checkbook associated with paying payroll and direct deposits. Hit the Direct Deposit Button. There are three areas for data:

Bank Account
Bank Name
Account Type

According to the Help for this Window, the account name and bank account information is used by the ACH File.

My question is how and where is this information used? When I create an ACH file in Fabrickam, nothing related to the Checkbook Maintenance Window appears in the ACH File. How is this information used if it does not appear in the ACH File?

Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: ACH

I have the Direct Deposit setup complete and I've tied the correct Checkbook to the Payroll setup. How can I generate a "test" NACHA file to send to the bank? I have Payroll runs in the Generate ACH File window, but they are fro past Payrolls and do not reflect the new information just setup for Direct Deposit.

Re: ACH

Michael,

I looked around some and I am inclined to conclude that the information is not used in the ACH. Payables is getting all of its information from the EFT information as near as I can tell. As for the help file, it's possible that the information is outdated. It would not be the first time. The EFT modules were purchased from a third party vendor and later merged into the dynamics.dic.

As Warren suggested, it may be used for a different format, but all of that information is included on the EFT screen.

So, in the end, I don't know. That's my best bet.

Kind regards,

Leslie

Re: ACH

My comment is based on using EFT - Payables and using a standard NACHA file.

The routing number, account number, etc. is not used in the standard NACHA files we have used. That is NOT to say that one of the several formats that come with GP out of the box does not use it. The main thing that you are doing on the setting up the relationship for the check book and the file format to use. From the Checkbook EFT Maint. window, hit the Payables Options button and you will see where the Format is specified. So that creates the link for when you do the AP process and then do the EFT file creation, it knows what format to use for this checkbook.

Warren.

Re: ACH

Thank you or your response. However, my question is how and where is the information used that was put in through the Checkbook maintenance? The ACH information in Payroll is not in question, It does appear in the ACH File. My question is where does the Checkbook Maintenance info come in; because when I do an ACH, there is nothing in the ACH file that relates to the information entered in the Checkbook Maintenance window. This is in direct opposition to the window help information for the Checkbook Maintenance Wondow.

Re: ACH

I forgot about Payables. When setting up direct deposit for payables, select the EFT button at the bottom of the checkbook maintenance window and then select United Sates on the Checkbook EFT Bank Maintenance window. Notice the Bank Name field, etc. on that window. When you select United States, that will also cause the [Payables Options] and [Receivables Options] buttons to come alive. Select the [Payables Options] and then fill out the window.
