Pay-from Bank Accounts

Before you can post to a Bank Account, you must configure Bank Acc. Posting Group. You can find details on how to set up bank accounts in the standard online help for Business Central.

To use a bank account as a pay-from bank account for EFT payments, you must have a Bank Branch No. and Bank Account No. configured with values that indicate which file format is to be used. If you have an Australian bank account in a New Zealand company, you must specify the AUD currency code against the bank account as well as have a correctly formatted bank account. If you are using a New Zealand bank account in a New Zealand company, the currency code must be left blank (to indicate it is using the local currency). Similarly in an Australian company an Australian bank will have a blank currency and a New Zealand bank account will have an NZD currency code.
