How to set suppliers up for ABA payments
Hi All
I'm using Reckon Hosted and setup my supplier with bank details but cannot find a checkbox for EFT payment. I use ABA files for payroll so I'm used to using the online banking centre but I'm at a loss how to pay suppliers using an ABA file.

If you want to setup ABA file payments for your suppliers, you need to ensure that you have done the following:
- Setup a bank account with the full details (Account number, BSB APCA number, etc) and ticked for online banking
- Setup each suppliers bank details by opening the supplier record and selecting bank details just like the setting up of the bank account details ensure all information is filled.
- Enter a bill and create payment using Direct Deposit, thus the payment now becomes eligible for ABA file export
- Go to your Online Banking Centre, select the bank you used, choose the date and generate the ABA file.
- Upload the file to the bank and the payments should be made.
Let me know, how you go and if you require any assistance.

Thanks Lucas
That's an extra step I wasn't expecting!. However I found instead of using 'Direct Deposit' I've used 'Bank Online' then when in Online Banking Centre, payment appears ready to create ABA. Hope that's the correct process.

That should be fine using the Bank Online option when creating a bill.
Let me know, if you have any questions.

Yes, The Pay Method on any transaction needs to be set to Bank (Online) in order to generate an ABA file from it 😊
You can also create ABA files for stand-alone Write Cheques, again, as long as the payment method is set to Bank (Online) :
… Not yet available for BPAY unfortunately though, only EFT 😬
