Click the Create File button.
This will create the ACH File in the file path as specified on the Bank Account Master’s ACH Settings.
When processing has completed, a confirmation will appear:
The Vendor’s setting of Pre-Note Sent flag will be automatically checked.
The screen will be automatically refreshed, showing no Pre-Notes are pending.The file can now be located and transmitted to the Bank.
