Generate the AFT File and print the register.This function is designed to generate the AFT (Automated File Transfer) file that will be transmitted for direct deposits. It will also create a printed AFT Register report for your records.
An entry must be in place for each GL Account/GL Entity combination for which you intend to create direct deposit files. In addition, the Employee’s Deductions tab must be filled in with his or her direct deposit information.
The Report AFT Payroll function should be run after the Print Payroll Checks function has been completed. After printing the register, you will be asked to confirm that an electronic file should be created.
See Registry Report AFT for the required registry entry for this report.
