Hi all,

Sorry - couldn't think of a better title - what I am trying to do is start paying employees with the Online payment method (I am using Hosted) via creation of ABA files. All previous pay slips that have been created since 2019 have already had 'Online' selected, therefore, when I come in to the Online Banking Centre there are hundreds of Payees ready to be processed.

Can I simply select all and create an ABA file that I simply do not process?

Thank-you for your help!

Glynis

    That’s what I would try but I think you would have to do one at a time, let me know what happens

    I download the aba file and someone else lodges it, so don’t use the direct method, that’s why some people would do that

    Actually rethinking this you should be able to select all, I’ll be keen to hear

    Yes, you can select all of them and name the file as a clean-up file. Once you have done this, the names will disappear. There is no obligation to lodge the payment, you just do not do that step. I have done this a number of times in the past. In some cases where I have a single employee to pay, I use the online banking feature in order generate the online banking details which contain the bank account details.
