Separate electronic payment accounts

We would like to process our payroll electronic .aba file from a separate general ledger account to the bank account general ledger account.

We need to process bank .aba files from two separate general ledger accounts.  One for payables and one for payroll. This is for security purposes to keep all payroll transactions confidential.

Some staff require access to electronic payments in payables but should not have access to payroll information.  In the electronic payments general ledger they can see both.  Note we have excluded payroll from their user role.

 

Is it possible to have two electronic payment GL accounts?

    In theory, you could have two electronic clearing accounts and lists of transactions in the Prepare Electronic Payments window. I wouldn't recommend doing it but you could have it.

     

    The Prepare Electronic Payments window will look for unpaid transactions that have been marked as being paid electronically in the linked Bank Account for Electronic Payments --- Setup>>Linked Accounts>>Accounts & Banking. So, in theory, you can keep updating/reviewing that linked account prior to each individual payment and when you go into the Prepare Electronic Payments window to clear it out.

    However, in saying that, I don't think it will solve your problem. AccountRight's user access works on the principle that if you have access to a window you can see all transactions associated with that window. For example, if you have access to the Prepare Electronic Payments window you will have access to see all transactions processed through that window. There is no way to limit that to only certain transaction types.
