For BACS transactions:

You can send BACS data with a Sync.RemittanceAdvice BOD. In addition to the setups that are required for your choice of the ION or Credit ACH option, ensure you complete these BACS-related setups:

In CR Bank Setup-Account Information, in BACS Format, select BACSTEL or LloydsLink, as directed by your bank.
See Setting up a bank for BACS.
In Vendor Setup-General-Billing, in Pay Method, select Standard Process to process payments for this vendor with BOD-based electronic AP payment remittance.
See Setting up a vendor for ION.
In Vendor Setup-eCommerce-EDI Payment and Bank, complete the BACS-related fields: Account Type, BACS Reference, Bank Account Name, and Bank Sort Code.
See Setting up a vendor for ION.
In Vendor Entry Check Print Report, for ION transactions that use BOD-based electronic AP payment remittance, including BACS, the option, Print to EDI Where Appropriate?, must be set to Yes.
If you set up the vendor for ION, these options are not required: BACS Processing?, nor BACS ID Number. When the report is run, the payment request generates a Sync.RemittanceAdvice BOD, and ION sends the BACS payment to the bank.
