Electronic Payment File Creation (AP161)

Run Electronic Payment File Creation (AP161) to create an electronic payment transfer file to pay scheduled invoices for vendors defined to be paid by electronic payment. The form creates a flat file that contains payment data and remittance information. Map the flat file data to the electronic payment standard you use.

• For the Electronic, SWIFT, and ETEBAC file formats, you can map the flat file data to the electronic payment standard you use.
• For country-specific formats (for example, Germany's DTAUS and DTAZV formats), the flat file is created in the applicable format.

Select a process group if you want to process payments concurrently. This allows you to balance the load. You can run the form multiple times. Enter a different file name on the File Name tab to avoid overwriting the first file.

Run AP161 for each cash code processed by Cash Requirements (AP150).
