Activating electronic AP payment remittance

If you are activating either the ION or Credit ACH options of electronic AP payment remittance, you must perform these steps. To send BOD-based BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) transactions, you must also perform these steps:

  1. Select System Administrator > Administration > Administrator Options > Vendors > Print Formats.
  2. In Print Format, select either 4 or 5.
  3. Select Allow AP Credit ACH. When selected, two additional values, Credit ACH and ION, are available in the Payments (EDI 820) field in Vendor Setup-eCommerce- Document Send Types.
  4. In Output Type, select either IDM Output Management or IDM Output Management and Third Party.
    The IDM Output Management and Third Party output type sends both the SXFileTransport BOD and the RemittanceAdvice BOD. The electronic AP remittance process creates one Sync.RemittanceAdvice BOD for each vendor, so if multiple vendors are paid in one run of Vendor Entry Check Print Report, multiple BODs will be created. If the vendor can process an XML file with the remittance data, sending the vendor the RemittanceAdvice BOD is recommended. The SXFileTransport BOD contains all vendors, and requires manual parsing.
  5. In IDM Document Type ID Electronic Remit, specify SX_Form_Templates. In conjunction with the IDM Template Name Electronic Remit field, this setting enables you to send formatted remittance advice automatically to the vendor.
  6. In IDM Template Name Electronic Remit, specify SXRemitElecTemplate. In conjunction with the IDM Document Type ID Electronic Remit field, this setting enables you to send formatted remittance advice automatically to the vendor.
  7. Click Save.
