Hello cbot1
Welcome to the Community Forum.
Can you please clarify if this error is coming from the AccountRight software or if this is an error popping up from your banking portal?
If it is from your banking portal, I would suggest speaking to your bank's support as to why it will not accept the ABA file when it has worked previously.
The only additional support I would suggest before deleting and recreating the ABA file would be to try clearing the AccountRight Cache. This can be done by following the steps on the linked forum post.
thank you for your reply. The bank was unable to assist. I the broke up the batch payment, creating several batch payments with only a few invoices in each (very time consuming!) and it appeared to be one invoice creating the problem. I was unable to determine what it was about the payment of this particular invoice that was creating the issue and had to pay it directly.
When I opened the original ABA file containing the error, I could see that for the invoice that created the problem it was splitting across 2 lines rather than sitting on 1 line like all the other invoices.
