Defining a positive pay file

Positive Pay File Creation (CB170) produces a flat file containing bank required payment information. The positive pay file is then sent to the bank to confirm checks presented for payment were altered. Because there are no standard file layouts, you will need to use an external mapping tool to reformat the file into the specific bank format. Use this procedure to define a positive pay file.

  1. Access Positive Pay File Creation (CB170)
  2. Use these guidelines to specify the field values on the Main tab:
    Cash Code

    Specify or select the cash code that the report is run.

    Specify or select one of Cash Code, Cash Code Group, or Cash Code List.

    Cash Code Group

    Filename

    Specify a name for the positive pay file. If this field is left blank, then the report creates a file named CB170POSPAY.
