ABA files

I am just learning how the ABA files work so I can use it for paying approximately 15 employees for client. Do I need to have the Hosted connected to the internet and log in to bank from the online banking centre (assuming this is safe to do so) or can I log into bank separately? Although I'm thinking that logging in separate would make finding the file difficult as it would be in the Q drive.

Thanks,

Karen

    No you create the aba file when processing wages and download to your computer, then logon to your bank and import the file

    Hi, I'm still having difficulty with paying wages by creating ABA file. Reckon Hosted wants an APCA number which NAB doesn't seem to be very helpful with, does this stop it from working correctly?

    I do it with Westpac and I have no APCA number entered in settings

    Thanks, will have another try, also do you put anything in the 'Lodgement Ref', with the banking details for the employee?

    From memory that just shows on the employees’ statement whatever the payment is for - wages or your name

    I'm happy to say it seems to have worked all okay, so much easier when there are 20 employees to pay! Thank you all for your help, much appreciated.
