Does anyone use the aba file to pay invoices but not have the bank linked to reckon 2013?

I am wanting to set up the online banking part of reckon accounts premier 2013 to pay invoices using an ABA file.

For numerous reasons, we will not be linking the bank account directly through reckon.

When I set up the payments, to pay through bank online, the payments go through and an ABA file is created, however, when I look at the payment in the supplier section, the payment says "to send"

Is there a step missing at the end of creating the ABA file to inform Reckon the payment has successfully been uploaded and paid through the bank or can this only be done when the bank is linked directly through reckon?
