The steps below detail how to re-create a Bank Transfer file (ABA) for 2 scenarios:
In a current pay run.
After a pay run has been processed.
If the pay run has not yet been processed (current)
In this instance, to re-create the Bank File after it has already been created previously, un-check and then re-check the current pay run.
To un-check your current pay run, go to Payroll, Transactions, Check Payroll, Uncheck Pays
To re-check your current pay run, go to Payroll, Transactions, Check Payroll, Check Pays
Once done, you can then re-run the Bank Transfer file.
Note: As part of the re-creation of the bank file, you will also be able to (and should) re-create the Bank Transfer report that shows any updated changes.
If the pay run has already been processed
If a pay run has been processed, and a bank transfer (ABA) file from that pay run needs to be recreated, you will need to restore data from the backup prior to processing.
Depending on whether the bank file got created at all at the point the pay run was live, you may have to uncheck and re-check the pays to recreate the Bank Transfer file.
📌 Note: if you want to retain the current payroll data state, you could choose to create a dummy Payroll company and restore your data into that company to be able to recreate the bank transfer file.
