Banking: ABA file generation for Supplier payments

Hi,

I would like to submit an idea to have electronic payments occure through MYOB Essentials 

In the way that the Bookkeepper creates all the Purchase Orders --> then makes Payments -->

sends payment info to an Electronic Clearing account which is then paid for by the Bank Account Authoriser.

The way it was with M-Powered

Kind Regards

I would love the ability in Essentials to be able to record a Bill Payment and then have that payment file automatically uploaded into my bank for payment approval.

Would like to be able to pay a number of Bills at once and able to download a batch file direct to the bank with the suppliers bank account details and amount to pay

I have a client using AR, and when I took on a new client who uses Essentials I was shocked to find I couldn't create aba files for supplier payments. My client can't afford to upgrade to AR, but this is so big an issue we are looking at other software options. If it can be done for payroll, I see no reason it shouldn't be available for supplier payments.

i agree. I am new to Essentials and just assumed that I can upload an ABA file for paying bills and just discovered we can't. I have to go back to my client now and, embarrasingly, tell them that I can't do that after I told them it can easily be done with ABA files. 

I agree with all my heart.

We are on the verge of changing solutions if this is not implemented. As our business has grown so has the number of payments we need to make on a daily basis.  If this feature is not going to be made available we will seriously be moving away from MYOB essentials.

Please let us know if this is in the pipeline for implementation.

regards,

Mehmet

Agree, this should be implemented.

Question - MYOB are now charging for each transaction over a threshhold per month (not happy with this!). Creating an ABA file for supplier payments would reduce the number of transctions going through MYOB - does this also reduce MYOBs ability to make extra money on those excess transactions?

In my decision to migrate from AccountRight Plus to Essentials (for simplicity) I was surprised this feature wasn't included; especially in the face of the function existing (and very elegant!) for payroll.

I look forward to seeing this enhancement!  

Came across from AccountRight Plus to Essentials. Have been using ABA files for paying suppliers.

So  so easy. Makes it a very long process otherwise.

Hi,

As it is past a year on, is there any idea as to when this will be happening?

Thank you
