Electronic Payment issue

Hi All,   I created an electronic file but couldn't locate it when I went to upload it so thought I hadn't done it and processed it again.  I think I deleted the previous file and redid a new one. ...

    Hi srequip2020 

     

    Thanks for your post. Looking at that screenshot I'm assuming that you deleted the electronic payment and reversed the individual supplier payments. Then re-recorded the Pay Bills transactions, re-created the ABA file in the Prepare Electronic payments window, uploaded the file to the bank and processed the payment.

     

    If this is the case then you can click on Bank File, click OK and then when the Save As window opens click Cancel. This is because you don't need to save the file to be uploaded to the bank, you're just clearing those transactions out of the electronic clearing account. As there's a debit and credit for each transaction they clear each other back to zero so won't affect any other accounts.

     

    Going forward, you don't need to reverse or delete the Pay Bills transactions, that part of the process was correct and you're just creating more work for yourself. Simply delete the electronic payment transaction which will return those payments to the Prepare Electronic payments window. Then just create a new ABA file by clicking on Bank File.

     

    I used to have a folder on my desktop called ABA files and saved the bank files to that folder. It made them easy to find for uploading and to delete so that I didn't accidently upload the wrong file.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
