Creating bank .aba file - too many transactions

[BennyBella]

Hi,

As a long time user of MYOB I find this is a ridiculous restriction that so many are inconvienced because 'some' banks restrict the number of transactions, mine doesn't so why should I have to create 4 payroll .aba files every week?  What a waste of time!

This upgrade to AccountRight has not been a positive move.  It's slow, it's restricted, it's even incorrect (see my other post about YTD figures not showing on payslips).

Trying to find the positives!

Hello Benny,

Why do you have to create 4 .aba files for pays each week?

Are you using the option to Prepare Electronic Payments on the step 3 of the payroll?

if so do not use it from here and just select NEXT.

You can then use the Prepare Elec Payments in the Banking Command Centre when all the pays are done.

If you do 4 separate pay runs then just leave them all in the Electronic Clearing account and then prepare one for the lot.

Cheers

David

Hi David,

I have over 100 employees and I keep getting a message that too many are selected if I just click the tick box and yes I was using the prepare payments as I always have.  A phone call to MYOB support told me there was no way around this.

So after clicking next instead of prepare electronic payments what should I be doing please?

Appreciate the assistance.

Hello Benny, @BennyBella

After going NEXT and processing all your pays, go to the Banking Command Centre and select the Prepare Electronic Payments there. See if you can select and process them all.

Are you using the latest version 2016.2? if not then i suggest you upgrade.

the following posts may also assist although they are quite old.

It may be that you can ignore the message about too many transactions and the aba file will be ok anyway.
