D3FO BACS (UK) Payments Config Missing Something - What?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by howalker 1,212

I am trying to configure BACS payments for a client's UK operations.  Microsoft documentation is simply absent.  I can configure a method of payment for BACS, but when I go to File Formats and click set up, there are several options.  BACS is not an option.  Shouldn't there be a BACS file format there?  I see Checks, I see NACHA, I see several others, but nothing for BACS.   The method of payment payment type is set to electronic payment.  Under file formats, the Generic electronic export format is set to generic, and then nothing under export format.  Then the next box export format configuration, BACS(UK) is chosen.  When I try to generate payments, I can select the method of payment BACS, but then under export format, I only have check available.  If I try to blank that field out, 365 then tells me "An export format or a method of payment with an export format must be specified."   When I go in to the Electronic REporting repository, BACS is there.  What am I missing?   I am going in circles.  Googling this turned up nothing.

    On AP method of payment, File Formats tab:

    1. Generic electronic file format = Yes

    2. Export Format Configuration = BACS (UK) (the Export format field is OK to be empty, it is only relevant when you using the "old style" export formats).

    On AP payment journal:

    1. "Generate Payment" button

    2. Select "Method of Payment" (not: "Export format" - that's "old style" export)

    you need to download the format from the ER workspace and then attached to the MOP

    That's my whole point.  The BACS file **is** in Electronic Reporting.  I took that step before posting this.  BACS is **not** available to select in the file format setup in the method of payment.

    you do say "Then the next box export format configuration, BACS(UK) is chosen."

    so it is hard to reconcile your statement about selecting it and not being able to select it.

    It is working on my instance, so maybe could you post a screenshot of your set up, and the error message that you get when you try to "generate payment"

    I submitted a ticket to Microsoft.  They diagnosed a problem in Electronic Reporting fixed by KB 4076998 for the latest BACS payment and KB 4077360 to load a cumulative update 7 Correction to Electronic reporting framework.

    Sounds like you didn't activate the configuration provider, I found the export formats configurations are not available in the method of payments if you don't do this.

    Go to Organisation Admin > Electronic reporting > Workspaces.

    Click on the tile of configuration provider you are using and set as active.

    Also the section you describe on your question on method of payment isn't drop down electronic reporting,  

    Sounds like you are on "File formats for methods of payment" form.

    Hi all,

    yesterday I thought I have same issue in 10.0.8 but it was my own mistake - when you don't see the imported GER configurations in method of payment - please check if you are in the right module - i.e. a credit transfer configuration will only be shown in methods of payment in Accounts Payable, not in Accounts Receivable module.

    Kind regards

    Evelyn
