Rose Business Solutions Dynamics GP

Dynamics GP has included for a long time, the ability to easily create EFT payments in conjunction with the normal payables check writing process.  The setup is pretty straight forward, and actually creating the EFT file is easy.

These are the general setup steps:

• Setup the EFT file format:  Financial >> Cards >> EFT Setup
• Set up EFT for specific banks:  Financial >> Cards >> Checkbooks
• Set up EFT for Specific vendors:  Purchasing >> Cards >> Vendors

The biggest challenge here is defining the correct EFT file format.  Hopefully your bank will use one of the standard file formats that are available in Dynamics GP.  If not, you will have to request the specific format instructions from your bank and use the configurator functionality in EFT for Payables to create a customized file format.

These are the general steps for creating the EFT file:

• Create a check batch; being sure to select the ‘EFT’ option on the Payables Batch Entry screen
• Build your batch as you normally would
• Process the payments
• Print the remittance forms (select to send via e-mail if you wish)
• Post the batch
• Generate EFT file:  Purchasing >> Transactions >> Generate EFT File

Once you’ve done this you can send the EFT file to your bank in the manner prescribed by your bank.
