Data validation conditions do not catch all issues prior to generating the EFT/Electronic Payment File and/or posting the payment journal. Would be advantages to accommodate for the VOID of electronic payment records after the Generate of the file is completed and before the journal is posted. This way a user could correct the journal line and then create the file again and try posting.

Typical errors when trying to "Generate the EFT Files" and posting the payment journal are:
-Generating File, "Country must have a value in ACH RB details"; The Vendor/Customer address is missing the Country/Region Code.
-A dimension is required for the Vendor/Bank and or GL when posting the payment journal.

Our payment journal has more than 3000 lines. What if the file was corrupted and not able to re-generate the file? Should we void 3000 payments one by one ....

I agree, even if the file is OK but the user forgot something, it's a pain to fix.

Hi all

We're beginning to look into this area (EFT in general) and would like to create a small V-team with partners to make sure we're making the right changes. If interested, could you please send me an email at soalex@microsoft.com

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Couldn't agree more, there are a number of things that can go wrong. 1) there is an error in the journal that prevents the user from posting and the journal is "locked" from editing so the journal is stuck in limbo 2) incorrect vendor routing number which is not identified until uploading the file to the bank 3) forgot to include payments in the export file and need to create a new one. I'm sure there are more.

It seems dumb to create a file that cannot be re-created if the upload fails...
