Westpac ABA files: How to record UPS

Hi IsaLisa,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the UPS (User Preferred Specification) in the Westpac ABA files. It seems you are trying to add or modify the UPS field in the ABA file, but there's no direct option in MYOB to enter this information. The business name specified in the first line of the ABA file may not match the UPS required by Westpac.

Here are a few suggestions you could try:

Ensure that the business name in Setup > Company Information aligns with what is expected in the ABA file.

If the UPS needs to be customized, one approach could be to manually edit the ABA file in a text editor before uploading it to the bank. However, please be cautious and make a backup before making changes, as any incorrect modification could affect file integrity.

Regards,

Sai

Hi Sai, thanks for your help. I followed your instructions to change the business name and that didn't work, so I tried changing the bank account name in the COA, under the banking tab for that account, and this worked.
