Click on Select Suppliers to Be Paid and select the suppliers and invoices you want to pay.
Click Print Cash Required List for Marked Invoices Only, with Payment Types set to Bank Deposit.

📌Note: Do NOT answer Yes to Was the bank file created successfully? until you have:
Checked the file was actually saved.
Uploaded the file to your bank and confirmed that it has no errors, all suppliers are included, payment was successfully processed, etc.
Either leave this prompt on the screen until you have uploaded and paid your suppliers at your bank or answer No initially. Then come back and re-run the bank file creation process and answer Yes once you know the file has been successfully processed at the bank.
If you did answer Yes and now realise there is a problem, refer to this article: Can you regenerate an aba file for Suppliers?
