Help..

I have been using GP Dynamics for YEARs, and I am lost on tyring to Generate EFT Files for the first time. I have to missing something pretty simple, especially since I have followed the instruction manual online.

 So far.....I have created a checkbook and set it up with the EFT Bank information and set the Payables Options File Format to the format that I set up in the EFT File Format that my bank needs. 

Then....I have entered 5 payables transactions that I have also set up EFT Bank information on and posted them.  I then went and Selected Payable Checks in a new batch and  set the batch up as an EFT batch in the Payable Batch Entry along with the Checkbook ID of the account I set up for my EFT Bank checkbook.  I then selected all 5 of the posted transactions and they are now setting in a Payables Batch that is selected for Payment Method of EFT and has the correct batch total.

So...My next step would be to do to Transactions, Purchasing, Generate EFT Files and my EFT Batch SHOULD pop up under the batch ID so I would be able to select it and Generate EFT File....  But nothing is appearing at all. 

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you

    Did you prenote the vendors?  GP will not generate EFT transactions if you don't run Prenotes after setting up your EFT vendors.  Tools>Setup>Purchasing>EFT Payables Setup>EFT Prenotes.

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I ran prenotes, I even did it again just to be sure I didn't miss anything.  I still do not have my EFT batch appear in Batch ID when I try to Generate my EFT Files.  Anyone else have any ideas?

    Hi, which localisation of GP are you using - ie US, UK & Ireland etc.?

    Are you sure you are registered for EFT for Payables?

    US.... Version 10

    Yep...we are registered.

    Frustrating...huh!?!?!

    Sure is, but as you say it has to be something simple. I'll test here and see what I can come up with.

    Ok...does this have something to do with it.  In the printable manual it says "only pending EFT batches will appear in the Generate EFT Files window.  Is this where I am doing something wrong?  Other than "select payables checks" which lets me pick who I want to pay and entering an EFT Batch for these selctions, how does it get into the "pending" mode??? After this series of creating, I have always printed my checks, then posted.

    ok...I figured it out. I had no idea you had to process and post before you could Generate the file.  Duh!  I knew it was something stupid.

    Now I just have to figure out how to change the date format in my file to satisfy my bank!

    Well done!...Just out of interest, which file format are you using - a standard GP one? - or did you have to create a new file format for your bank?

    Best regards,

    Well...I am trying to use the US - NACHA-PPD.  I wouldn't know how to create one for them. But Lord knows, I am sure I would eventually figure it out, (but I don't want too!)

    I have a similar situation and can't see to find what I am missing.  have setup EFT for payables, I ran prenotes, selected the Payment batch with EFT type, run the checks and posted.  When I try to generate my EFT file I select the pending batches and i print the report to verity the information is correct.  all appears to be fine.  When I generate the EFT file I receive the message that the file has been created with 0 transactions.

    What am I missing to receive this message?  The EFT file is not generating.  I reviewed all mysetups, verified the checkbook and the vendor fields are matched for Currency ID

    I even setup an entirely new vendor record for testing and I receive the same results

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks
