Here is what I got to work.
1. In the EFT file format, mark the Generate Auto-Settlement for Each Detail checkbox to populate the Settlement line with the default settings.
2. Save the EFT file format.
3. Then reopen the EFT file format and unmark the Generate Auto-Settlement for Each Detail, and click Save when prompted "Settlement details exist for this format. Do you want to save or delete the details?".
Then click OK on the next message. This will retain the mapping for the Settlement line and result in one settlement line for the whole file, that would include a sum total for the whole file. Then follow the steps
in the Resolution section to change the Settlement line from a Data Field to a Calculation so it totals correctly.
4 On the Cards menu, point to Financial and click on EFT File Format.
5. Enter the EFT Format ID that needs to be modified.
6. First, click on the Import/Export button, and save a copy of the existing format to a location of your choice in case you would need to refer back the original setup for any reason.
7. In the EFT File Format Maintenance window, select the Line Type of Settlement.
8. For the payment amount line, select Calculation in the Maps To column.
9. Then click the Show Details button to expand the line.
10. Set the Calculation Type to Total Debit Amount.
11. If required, click the checkbox for Remove Decimal Places.
12. Enter 2 for the Decimal Places.
13. Click Save.
14. Test the file to make sure the total is correct. (The Settlement line typically starts with '627' in the EFT file.)
NOTE: When the file is correct, click Import/Export again and overwrite the old copy of the file with the new file. It is recommended to keep a copy of the correct file in case you would need to import it back in again for any reason.
Dave, in between steps 3 and 4 and I get a prompt about saving or deleting lines. What is the proper answer? I just tried Saving and generated the EFT file and I do not see the settlement line. Should I try Delete?
Richard, These steps are for 10.0, but should work with GP 2010 as well.

ABSTRACT
Explains how to create one total auto-settlement line for the entire EFT file instead of an auto settlement line for each vendor.
INTRODUCTION
This article explains how to create one total auto-settlement line for the EFT file instead of an auto settlement line for each vendor.
MORE INFORMATION
There is an option in EFT to have an auto settlement line for each vendor in the EFT file. However, in some cases banks require one total auto settlement line for all vendors on the EFT file. If this is required, the following steps can be used to set this up in EFT:
1. Click Cards, point to Financial, and then select EFT File Format. Select the desired EFT Format ID or create a new ID in the EFT File Format Maintenance window. (Click Cards, point to Financial, select EFT File Format)
2. If setting up a new EFT Format ID, you will also need to enter a Description, select the Format Type as well as the Format Class for the bank.
3. Mark the Generate Auto-Settlement for Each Detail checkbox – (This will populate the Settlement line from the Line Type Drop down)
4. Unmark the Generate Auto-Settlement for Each Detail checkbox – (This will tell the system that you only want one Auto-Settlement line for the file)
5. Select the Line Type: Settlement
6. Select the Payment Amount Field
7. Change the Maps To value for the line to Calculation
8. Click the Hide/Show button to expand the line
9. Select Total Debit Amount from the Calculation Type dropdown
10. Mark the Checkbox to Remove Decimal Places
11. Enter the Number of Decimal Places – this will be the number of decimal places that you are using.
12. Click Save.
13. Next, click Transactions, point to Purchasing, and then select Generate EFT Files and generate an EFT file. Once the file is generated, you will see one line for a total of all vendors that were included in that EFT file.
Thanks Frank, I finally make it after years of hard work. It is not looking good for me and Convergence this year. I have major upgrades converging in March and I would feel quilty going off to party while there is work to be done.
Hey Richard, are you an MVP now? Congrats! Will you be at Convergence? if so, let's meet up for a bite or a drink.
