Accounts Receivable > Process Electronic Payments from Customers > Activate Customers for Electronic Payment

Prior to the application of electronic payment to AR invoices, you must activate the records of those customers for whom you want to process electronic payments. You must activate those customer records when you have received confirmation from the electronic funds transfer agency or the customer's bank that the prenotification is successful.

To activate customer records for electronic payment, perform the following procedures:

1.Assuming that you have properly set up the electronic payment parameters in the applicable customer records, access the Activate Customers for E-Payment function from the Bank group under the Maintenance menu of the Accounts Receivable module.

2.In the Activate Electronic Payment for Customers area, read the information on the prenotification and activation of electronic payment for those customers who have met the prenotification requirement.

3.Enter in the Last Prenote Date field the date when you generated prenotes for those customers for whom you want to activate direct deposit. The default value in this field is the system date. AccountMate will activate only those customers with a Require Prenotification status and whose last prenote date is equal to or earlier than the date that you enter in this field.

4.Click the Activate button to initiate activation of the customers for whom you want to process direct deposit; otherwise, click the Close button to exit this function.

5.If you clicked the Activate button, a pop-up message will display showing the number of customers who will be activated for electronic payment. Click Yes to confirm; otherwise, click No. If you click Yes, a confirmation message will appear showing the number of customers that have been activated for electronic payment. Click Ok to close the window.
