Go to the Setups, Payroll, Payroll Options and check the Direct Bank Entry tick box is ticked.

Setup a Company Bank account.

Go to Payroll, Masterfiles, Employee Details, Maintain.

Enter the employee code for each employee, and on the Pay Details tab, ensure the Company Bank account code is selected.

Set up or edit an employee bank account.

Each Employee standard Pay should have a Bank line with the Employee Bank account selected. See also: Payroll Masterfiles help and user guides.

If a pay was created from a standard pay, then a bank line will need to exist as a pay line, so that it is paid by bank transfer, otherwise Attaché assumes Cash payment.

Go to Payroll, Reports, Pre-Process Pays, Bank Transfers.

In the Bank Process Date field, type the date you want the bank to process the transfers. Typically, the weekday that precedes the day you want employees to receive their pay.

Complete the Next Bank Transfer Number field or accept its current value.

Specify a Destination Path for the bank transfer file. For example: C:\Bank Transfers. Note: this physical folder must actually exist.

You can choose to create a bank transfer file based on Pay Frequencies or a range of Employees.

The Bank Transfers report and Bank Transfer File include only the checked pays that meet the criteria you specify.
Choose Print (F9). Attaché asks you to confirm that you wish to create a file in the specified directory. The specified directory folder must exist.

Choose Yes to continue. Attaché creates the file and asks you whether the update completed correctly.

If the bank transfer file was created successfully and the report contains the details expected, choose Yes to update the employees’ files with the pays processed on the bank transfer file. Otherwise, choose No and produce the report again as required.
