Best report to create a positive pay file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

I'm using MS Dynamics SL 2018 CU2 - Pro, Version 10.02.30430.00.  Our unlocked modules are GL, AP, SI, CU and SY.

I'm trying to figure out the best report to export that requires the least amount of edits for our AP clerk to upload to our bank's Positive Pay when checks are cut.  Output needs to be in .csv format.

At this point the Check Register looks the best.  I can delete unneeded columns & sort the data to get it in the right layout.  The biggest issue is that when checks pay multiple invoices, the same check number is listed repeatedly for each invoice being paid.  There is a total for the vendor, so an option is to copy / paste the total to one of the vendor lines and delete the duplicate rows, but I'm worried the AP clerk will find this too challenging.

I've tried to edit the report, but haven't figured out how to group the lines to only show one line for each check number. 

I'm also curious if the columns can be edited to only show the ones we need for the upload file (check #, date, payee, amount).

If anyone has any suggestions, my AP clerk would be thrilled to save time and not have to manually enter all the positive pay info each time checks are cut.

Thanks!

    I have done Positive Pay file reports in the AP Check Register, but you cannot do it in the standard format (as you have identified, it creates one row per Voucher paid).  The way I deal with this is to create a new Check Register format with a new Crystal report, and build my own SQL view that shows one row per check.  The report is formatted in exactly the way that the bank wants to receive it, and it is exported as .csv

    Depending on the bank's required format, you may also be able to get by with a Quick Query export to Excel. Including the Docclass "C" will pick up computer checks, manual checks, and void checks. You won't get a header or footer record exported, so this option may not work directly with your bank, but if the edits are minor the AP clerk could add supplemental info in Excel before exporting to a CSV.

    I've had a couple of clients use this approach, which takes less time to setup than editing a Crystal report and adding the new report format to the menu. Most clients have a new Crystal report written to directly match their bank's requirements.
