Re: JBA ML - Accounts Payable Checks - EDI

Art,
Further to Steve's comments - Steve who????

Another gem of info.  The trick is in the Payment Method.  If you set the
payment method to be Electronic, the payment Run will attempt to write to a
file and use programs that arent there.  This is because the file and
associated programs are for the UK BACS format, and not shipped outside the
UK.  Each Bank has its own standard.

We developed (also in a previous life) an electronic interface that replaced
the BACS programs and collected all the payment details.  These details were
then imported into on-line backing software.  EDI or anything else is also a
possibility.

Once collected, you can do whatever you want with it.

As Steve said the payback period is very short.

If you want to contact me offline, I can pass on the details of a GEAC
person (if they are still there) who may supply some more info.

I am not totally bitter and twisted.

Regards

Michael
