Generate the EFT File. By default, the ACH file will be placed in the same directory as SAM Pro executable unless otherwise specified via registry.This function is designed to generate the electronic file that will be transmitted to the Automated Clearing House for direct deposit. It will also produce a printed EFT Register report for your records.
A Registry entry must be in place for each GL Account/GL Entity combination you intend to create direct deposit files for. In addition, the Employee's DDEP tab must be filled in with his or her direct deposit information.
The Generate EFT Register (Report EFT) 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.
