Accounts Receivable > Process Electronic Payments from Customers

There are instances when you cannot locate the ACH file that you have generated or worse, the file gets accidentally deleted before you can send it to the bank for processing. Cases like these requires that you create the ACH file again. AccountMate Enterprise provides the ability to create again the same previously generated ACH file using the Recreate ACH File function. The ACH file that is created using this function contains the exact same information as that of the E-payment batch number you want to recreate.

To use the Recreate ACH File function, perform the following steps:

1.Access the Recreate ACH function from the Bank Transaction group in the Transactions menu of the Accounts Receivable module.

2.Enter in the Bank # field the bank code for which you want to recreate an ACH file. Alternatively, you may click the List box button to display a list of bank codes that are set up for electronic payments; then, click on a bank code to select.

Note: The Bank # field only accepts a bank code for which the electronic payment feature is activated. To set up a bank code record for electronic payment, go to the bank code's Bank Account Maintenance record and be sure to mark the Electronic Payment checkbox in the Information page. You must also define the electronic payment settings in the E-Payment Settings page. For more details, access the Bank Account Maintenance section.

3.In the E-Payment Batch # field, click the List box button to select from the list the e-payment batch # that you want to create again. Alternatively, you may manually enter in this field the number of the e-payment batch you want to recreate.

4.To proceed, click the Create button in the function toolbar to create the ACH file again; otherwise, click the Cancel button.

5.A message window will be displayed informing you that the ACH transmission file has been created. Click the Ok button to close the window.
