An AFT registry entry must be created for each GL Account and GL Entity combination for which you will be generating direct deposit paychecks. Your bank will provide details on the necessary account and routing numbers, as well as sending the electronic file. Note that the registry entry provides critical file information for the funds transfer, and should always be pre-noted to verify its correctness.
Testing Your Registry Entries
The system does not verify the validity of registry entries. Be sure to test your registry entries after completing them to verify that they are functioning correctly.

The Setting Value is case-sensitive: be sure that you enter the value exactly as specified in the documentation. If the documentation specifies a value of true, do NOT enter True or TRUE.

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.
