An AFT registry entry must be created for each GL Account and GL Entity combination for which you will be generating direct deposit AP checks. Your Vendors/Vendor’s banks will provide details on the necessary Vendor account and Bank EFT (routing) numbers. Click on Overview to see a summary of the procedures needed to implement this functionality.
This entry is designed for use with Canadian AP processing.
Id:
sys-aftap-glbankaccountid-glentity-branchid-userid
sys-aftap-glbankaccountid-glentity-securityid
sys-aftap-glbankaccountid-glentity
sys-aftap-glbankaccountid-
where glbankaccountid is replaced by the GL Account Id of the bank account your firm uses for payables. The GL Entity MUST be specified if you run payables by GL Account and Entity. If you generate aft checks for multiple GL Accounts/GL Entities, a registry entry MUST be created for each.
The first format enables you to specify parameters by branch id and (optionally) user. If this entry is specific to a user, the branch must be specified if a user belongs to a branch. If branches are not implemented, two dashes (not separated by a space) must precede the user id.
The second format enables you to specify parameters by security id.
The third format would apply to all users unless another registry entry was created for their security or branch/user id.
Note that in the fourth format (for all users if Entities are NOT used) the trailing hyphen must be retained.
Name: A descriptive name for this entry.
