EFT CPA 005 Export Error for CA Version

Report

Posted on by CU16091823-0

Hi All,

I have configured the Data Exchange Definition as per the Canadian bank CPA 005 format and attempted to perform the bank export.

However, I am encountering an error indicating that check printing must be completed before the export can proceed. From a functional standpoint, there should not be any dependency between EFT processing and check printing.

Could you please advise why the system is triggering the check printing requirement during the EFT export? If there are any specific setup steps or configurations that might be causing this behavior, your guidance would be appreciated.

Error :

Check Exported must be equal to 'Yes' in Gen. Journal Line: Journal Template Name=PAYMENT, Journal Batch Name=EFT, Line No.=10000. Current value is 'No'.

Regards,

Vinoth

Hi,

This is by standard business central design, the error is bit misguiding. If the EFT file is not generated and user tries to post the Journal it gives error of Check Boolean, this is because Microsoft uses Check Boolean to stop user from posting in case of both EFT and Check payments.

No need to worry check the following steps to make sure you export file correctly.

1 - Follow and do all the setups as per this guide - https://erpsoftwareblog.com/2023/02/the-five-steps-to-setting-up-and-using-eft-ach-in-business-central/

You may need to adjust the setup according to CA localization. There is no major difference though.

2 - Once all your setup is correct and you create a payment journal, You need click on Bank -> Export. Run the report and system will generate Vendor remittance.

Now you may see multiple validation errors if any setup is incorrect. You need to solve it for processing further.

3 - Now you need to click on Actions -> Function -> Generate EFT File. On the next page enter the date of payment and click on Generate. System will generate EFT file.

4 - Come back to journal and post the payment. Upload the file in Bank and see if the bank processes the file correctly.

Hello Vinoth,

This error occurs because the payment journal line is being processed under computer check logic, not purely as an electronic EFT export, so Business Central expects the “Check Exported” flag to be set to Yes before allowing posting; this typically happens when the Bank Payment Type or Payment Method setup is configured in a way that triggers check processing instead of a Data Exchange–based Electronic Payment, meaning the system enforces check-export validation even though you’re doing CPA 005 EFT, so you need to review the Bank Account’s Bank Payment Type, the Payment Method configuration, and ensure the journal is using the proper Electronic Payment/Data Exchange workflow rather than Computer Checks, otherwise BC will continue requiring “Check Exported = Yes.”
