How to set suppliers up for ABA payments

Loretta Wisdom-Zagon

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.

Hi @Loretta Wisdom-Zagon,

If you want to setup ABA file payments for your suppliers, you need to ensure that you have done the following:

1. Setup a bank account with the full details (Account number, BSB APCA number, etc) and ticked for online banking
2. 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.
3. Enter a bill and create payment using Direct Deposit, thus the payment now becomes eligible for ABA file export
4. Go to your Online Banking Centre, select the bank you used, choose the date and generate the ABA file.
5. Upload the file to the bank and the payments should be made.

Let me know, how you go and if you require any assistance.
