Banking File - South Africa - First National Bank
This section contains some guidance about where to enter information in order for it to be included correctly in Banking File export files when they are produced using the South Africa - First National Bank Payment File Format, for domestic payments.
Configuration
- In the Company Info setting, enter your bank account number in the Bank Customer ID field.
- In the Banks setting:
- Enter a separate record for each Bank used by your Suppliers.
- Enter the Branch Code of the Bank in the Bank ID Code field. A Payment will not be exported if it contains a row whose Supplier does not have a Bank specified in its Account Operator field (step 3b below) or if the Bank ID Code field in the relevant Bank record is blank.
- In the Contact records for each Supplier:
- Enter the Supplier's bank account number in the Bank Account field. This will be copied to each Purchase Invoice. A Payment will not be exported if it contains a row in which the Purchase Invoice being paid does not have a Bank Account.
- Enter the Supplier's Bank in the Account Operator field using 'Paste Special'.
- Select the Require Supp. Inv. No. option in the Purchase Invoice Settings setting.
Payments
- Add a Reference to each Payment header. If a Payment does not have a Reference, the Payment No. will be exported instead (as the Own Reference).
- Add a Reference Number to each Payment row (flip I). If a Payment row does not have a Reference Number, the Supp. Inv. No. of the Purchase Invoice being paid will be exported instead (as the Recipient Reference). A Payment will not be exported if it contains a row in which there is no Reference Number or Supp. Inv. No.
Exporting
- The period that you specify in the 'Specify Banking File' window should be one day in length. If it is longer, only Payments from the first date in the period will be exported.
- If you select the Unexported Only option in the 'Specify Banking File' window, Payments in the range that have not been marked as Ordered and those that have been marked as Ordered will be exported. Payments that have been marked as OK will not be exported. After the export process, any unordered Payments in the range will be marked as Ordered automatically. If you need to export a Payment that has been marked as OK, select the All option in the 'Specify Banking File' window but be careful when specifying the range of Payments to be exported as any Payments in the range that have previously been exported will be exported again. Payments and individual Payment rows that have been invalidated will never be exported.
- The One Payment per Supplier option in the 'Specify Banking File' window is not used with the South Africa - First National Bank (selecting it will have no effect on the resulting file), while selecting the Foreign Country Payment option will result in an empty file.
