Hi All, i have just started processing accounts payable payment runs using ABA files exported from MYOB acumatica payables module. The payment batch balances in MYOB, however, when i try to process in CommBiz our own bank details are missing from the ABA file. The bank details of the suppliers we are paying are correct, its just our bank account details that are missing from the ABA file (thus it doesn’t balance and CommBiz won’t process it). We have managed to edit the batch in CommBiz but i would like to fix the issue before it gets to CommBiz. Thanks in advance.

Hi ​@FionaO12155 

You’ve mentioned that your own bank account details are missing from the file, are your bank details configured against the Cash Accounts > Remittance Settings for the relevant Payment Method?

That should be where the bank file draws your account details from.

Hello,

What Payment Method and Export Scenario is being used to create the ACH “ABA” file?

Acumatica, and I assume MYOB Acumatica, comes with both Balanced and Unbalanced formats:

Not Balanced ACH file is produced by ACH (omits Paying Compmany line)
Balanced file is produced by ACHBA

Please confirm the Payment Method and Export Scenario. Thank you.

Hi Lauren, i’m not sure about the payment methods, i will need to check what settings our other AP officer has as their batches are working okay at present. Thankyou for suggesting this though, i wasn’t aware of it. Cheers, Fiona
