Posted on by Community Member

Out standard BACS export file works fine but I need to set up a different type of export file that can be imported by the banking software for Faster Payments. I have selected file format 'configurable layout file' from the list under 'file formats - set up button, but cannot see where to configure it?

I have the required template from the bank in CSV format, but don't know how to make AX generate the file in that layout? AX 2012 R3.

thanks

AXF

Hi AXF,

I am assuming that the export format (for ACH) has been validated with the bank and now it's just a matter of configuring the payments file in AX. If this understanding is true, then you will need to do the following:

1. Go to Accounts payable > Setup > Method of payment.

2. Select ACH.

3. In the File formats fast tab, click on "Setup".

4. Find the format you have created in the Available list and then move it to the Select column. [If you do not see the format in the available list, then you will need to contact your developer].

5. Close the table.

6. Go back to the method of payment - File formats fast tab and then select the export format from the drop down list.

7. You can now go ahead and generate payments from the system.

Hi AXF,

If the available file formats are different from the one your bank uses, then a developer has to create a new format for you. You can't configure this yourself in the AX client.

Best regards,

thanks Ludwig,

I was hoping to be able to locate something in the AOT that configured our existing set up. We have some development capability that might be able to help, but I think the answer lies clearly with more extensive development help.

thanks
