Issue with aba file format for Commbiz

One of our companies is having an issue with the aba files for the Commbiz account but the same company can make payments using aba files on a Westpac account

 

I followed the step by step process on the Myob webpage but can't get it to work and all our other companies with Commbiz accounts work fine.

 

Attached  is the message we get in Commbiz

    I'm fairly sure it's a universal format for most banks.

    Hi Mike

     

    Thanks so much for sending through :)

     

    Do you have this for CBA as well?

     

    Regards

    Hi FinanceHH​ , I suggest you open the ABA file in Notepad and compare the content of each line type with the attached specification. Check the field positioning and content. For the multiple type 1 lines, check one line then scan the account detail columns to see if there are any that look different.

    Hi Mike

     

    Thanks for your reply

    I checked the bank account details and they are correct and the bank feed is working already on that account so can't be that.

    Paying to the same supplier using Westpac is fine so can't be the supplier

     Hi FinanceHH​ , check the banking details in the accounts list for this bank account. Make sure the BSB and account number are correct, and the account number has no spaces after it. 

    Has this only started happening recently? The error on Record 1 suggests a supplier payment line has an incorrect number.
