Electronic Clearing account

Is there a way to make a bank file payment without going through the electronic clearing account?

  • Hi aussiepg 


    Within AccountRight to generate a bank file the payments do need to go through the Prepare Electronic Payments window to generate the bank file.


    You can update the linked account used to store those electronic payments (Setup>>Linked Accounts>>Accounts & Banking>>Bank Account for Electronic Payments).  However, please don't set it to a bank account that you commonly use to record payments against. What happens is that the electronic clearing account acts like a holding account where it puts the transactions into that holding account and then you clear that holding account with that electronic payment. Having that set to be a commonly used bank account causes the electronic payment account not to clear and will cause issues in the reconciliations for that account.
