How to Run an EFT Batch Online

Location: Disbursements/Pensioner Payroll Process/Create EFT File

Use the following steps as a guide to run an EFT batch online.

  1. From the Disbursements/Pensioner Payroll process, click to select the Create EFT File event. The system displays the EFTs batch wizard.

  2. Using the arrows provided, move the Create Buffer, Create Export File, and Mark as Issued tasks from the Available Tasks list to the Selected Tasks list.

  1. Click Next to advance to the Select Parameters screen.

  1. Using the option buttons provided, click New to enable the selection of new parameters. (Note: Clicking Last Run sets the parameters to those chosen from the previous run. Clicking Previous Run enables the drop-down list where you can specify a run to use.)

  2. Click Next to advance to the Set Batch Parameters screen.

  3. Using the calendar provided, select the Date From and Date To.

  4. Enter an optional EFT Number.

  5. From the drop-down list, select a File Format. (Options include Delimited, SDF, and XML.) In this case, select SDF.

  1. Click Next to advance to the Summary screen. Notice that the Summary displays the tasks selected to be run. The Create Buffer task identifies EFTs for the specified parameters. The Create Export File task creates the EFT file in the specified format. The Mark as Issued task flags each identified EFT so that it won't be included next time.

  1. If the Summary is correct, click Finish. The system displays the Running Batches browser, however, often the batch has been completed so quickly (and is no longer running), so that the browser appears empty.

  2. From the toolbar, click the supporting view EFTs Preview to view a list of the EFTs that have been included in the file.

  1. From the toolbar, click the supporting view EFTs Export to view a record of the export file created.

  1. Click the View link to open and view the SDF export file.
