EFT/ACHA 2 Questions

Posted on by Paul Bebelos 20

Does anyone know how to re-export an EFT/ACHA after you use the 'Generate EFT' files?  It appears from what i gather that this is not possible from the Credit Transfer Register.

Sencondly, When a user tries to use the 'Generate EFT' to export the ACHA file, Nav is throwing the below error.  Anyone have any guidance oin this?

    Paul,

    I have not found a way to regenerate the EFT file. If the file is grossly incorrect, I post the transaction and immediately Financially Void it to reinstate the Payable and prepare another file. If it needs a small change I sometimes modify the TXT file myself.  As for the message, on the Bank Account Card, their is the field called E-Pay Export File Path. Make sure this path is real, based on the entry you put there:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve-

    Thank you for such a quick reply.  

    On question 1 - i will work with the finance team to see if this process works.

    On question 2 - When the 'Generate ETF' button is selected, it opens a file dialog window for you to select a local path.  The user is selecting a local path on their machine.  This gives me the impression that the pathing on the bank card is not used.  From the docs the e-pay export path is supposed to map to a local drive on the server where Dynamics Service is running. Which we have done. Without getting off point, why the popup for a local path if the system is supposed to use the e-pay export path?

    Paul,

    Your 2nd question update leads me to ask what Dynamics Service is running? If I was sending EFT files via a Bank Service then I am wondering are you using AMC Banking? This will send the EFT file via their service to the linked Bank. If I am doing this all manually, then the process is:

    1. Payment Journal create list of EFT payments

    2. Export EFT File, which generates remittance advices to vendor

    3. Generate EFT File to then upload to your Bank. NOTE: In your version of NAV 2018, the Generate EFT File will open a Save As window which the user specifies the location to save the file too. NOTE: The User and NAV must be able to Save a file to that location. So if the NAV Server cannot save a file there, you will get the error. I would have IT map a drive to the location you are saving too.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
