Hi team! All of our employees are on direct deposit for payroll and when the data for the scheduled payrun is entered, all employees are ticked and the ''Create Payment" button clicked to add the paycheques to an .ABA. Inexplicably, in today's run I have two employees missing from the .aba. Nothing has changed within their records, the paycheque details are all accurate and the cheques indicate they are 'sent' to online banking. Is there any way I can reverse the payrun so I can get back to the'Create Payment' screen again without voiding any paycheques?

    Hi Kelly

     

    You don’t need to re-do the Pay run.

    You should be able to edit/recreate the ABA File.

    TIP For future reference …. The Help options within RA are really good eg if you type “aba” into any Help Search box within the program, you’ll find the instructions on how to this but here’s a copy & paste of it:


    Re-create an online banking file (in ABA format)

    If you find an error in the ABA file (or the ABA file has been rejected by your financial institution) you can re-create the ABA file.

    Before re-creating the ABA file, check that you have completed the necessary setup procedures for online banking.

    Re-create an online banking file:

    1.     Go to the Online Banking Centre.

    Go to the Banking menu and click Online Banking Centre.

    2.     Select the financial institution from the drop-down list.

    3.     Scroll to the To Bank section.

    4.     Click ABA File History.

    The Select ABA File dialog opens.

    5.     Choose a date range to search for the ABA file you want to re-create.

    6.     Click the ABA file you want to re-create to highlight it. Click OK.

    The previously created ABA file opens.

    7.     Click Edit if this is the ABA file you want to re-create. Click Cancel to return to the Online Banking Centre.

    Reckon Accounts asks if you are certain that your bank has not processed the ABA file.

    8.     Click Yes to continue, or No to cancel and return to the Online Banking Centre.

    Reckon Accounts returns to the Online Banking Centre. Scroll to the To Bank [History] section.

    9.     Select payees from the list.

    Each payee must have a bank account defined for them under their employee or supplier record. This includes details for Bank Account Name, Number and Branch Code. In addition, employees must have an employee number.

    10.   Click Preview ABA File if you wish to review the ABA file before creating it.

    11.   Click Create ABA File.

    The standard Windows Save As dialog box with *.ABA entered in the file name opens.

    12.   Enter a name for the online banking file (leaving the .ABA) and choose a location to save it.

    Reckon Accounts provides a default folder within the installation directory called Export Files/ ABA Files. You may choose to save the ABA file in this directory, or in any other directory of your choice.

    13.   Click Save.

    Your re-created ABA file is now ready for upload to the relevant financial institution.

     

     

    If a particular Pay Chq is not listed there but has definitely been created, find/open the Pay Chq to confirm it is deducting from the correct bank account & that the applicable employee’s “Payment Method” preference is still set to “Online” in their Employee record.

     

    Alternatively, once you’ve checked/amended the above, you could always just pay these 2 particular employees independently this time (eg directly via your online banking) just for the sake of getting the payment made.

    Hi Shaz,

    Thanks for your reply.  I'm actually all good with how to edit/recreate an .aba from the history in the Online Banking Centre - that's not the issue though.  The problem is that two payees were actually missing from the .aba even though the cheque/payment transactions were created correctly and are visible against the employee record/s.  They indicate they have been "sent" to the .aba but aren't present.  What I'm trying to do is see if I can recreate the entire payrun in the hope it pushes out those two payees correctly, but the only advice I can see on how to do this is to void and recreate individual paycheques, which I don't want to do.   I will keep working on a solution!! Thank you again.

    Hi Kelly

     

    It’s frustrating but there will definitely be a reason behind it (usually related to the employee’s details)

     

    • Check the Pay Dates on the missing Paycheques haven’t inadvertently been set to the day before or after the other Pays
    • Check the applicable Employee’s (correct) Bank Details are still present in their record.

     

    If you ultimately do decide to re-do the pay run, delete the existing Pays, don’t “Void” them.

    In this particular scenario, voiding will serve no purpose other than to create additional, confusing entries which didn’t actually happen & may cause issues with STP upload/submission formatting!
