To Create a BACS file

Use the Create BACS File command to create a BACS or Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) file for those payments authorised using the Authorise BACS command. The payments must then be transmitted to the bank using its banking software product.

1. Open the Purchase folder and then click Payments or click the Financials tab and then click Purchase - Payments on the Ribbon Bar.

2. Click Create BACS File.

3. In BACS Payment Software, select the BACS option you want to use (applies only if you have set up an additional BACS option from the Purchase Ledger - Utilities - Set Options form).

4. In Bank Account, select the bank account to be used for the payments.

5. Update the other available boxes under BACS or SEPA (this depends on the banking product you use).

6. Click OK.

A warning message is displayed if a BACS or SEPA file that was created earlier still exists in the folder. This may be because it was not transmitted to your bank using your banking software. You are asked whether you want the existing file to be renamed to allow the new file to be created. You must then make sure both files are transmitted to your bank.
