ClosedFields

Send email notification of Direct Deposit to

Enter the vendor email address to be used for notification of a direct deposit.

The information to be sent in the email includes vendor Name, Account Number, Advice Number, Deposit Amount, as well as EntityCompany name, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, and Amount Paid for each advice; Total Amount Paid for the direct deposit is also included.

# of Prenotes

Enter the number of prenotes to process prior to actually transferring funds the first time. The default is 0. Your vendor may not request prenotes and they are not required. The prenote applies to all direct deposits for this vendor.

Prenotes are a test-run to see if the transfer of funds functions correctly. When a prenote is indicated, the system produces a negotiable check; however, the ACH file shows the amount as $0.00 with an indicator to the Bank that it is a prenote, not a deposit.

Suppress printing of advice when sending via email

Check this check box when you do not want a deposit advice to be printed with checks and instead have the deposit advice sent via email using the email address entered on this tab. The default is unchecked, and so the advice will print with checks.

Active

This option defaults as unchecked. Accept this default if the vendor does not accept direct deposit payments.

Check the check box if the vendor accepts direct deposit payments. When the box is checked then defaults appear in some of the fields.

Note

For your convenience, when the Active box is checked then these defaults are set on the first line: Prenotes = 0 (zero) , and 100% of the payment is deposited into a Checking account.

If you are setting up direct deposits to a single account
for this vendor, defaults are set to make it easy to set up the direct deposit; you may only have to edit the number of Prenotes and add a  Routing # and an Account #; however, please review all defaults and make any changes necessary.

If you are splitting a direct deposit across multiple accounts
for this vendor, then you will use multiple lines in the grid to indicate the accounts, amounts (and number of Prenotes) for the deposit. In this case, please review each line and make appropriate changes.

Bank Name

Enter the bank name, i.e., the name of the vendor's financial institution.

Routing #

Enter the routing number for the vendor's financial institution. Ask your vendor for this number.

Account #

Enter the account number into which the vendor wants the funds deposited. Ask your vendor for this number.

Account Type

Select an account type from the drop-down list: Checking or Savings. When the Active box is checked, then the default is Checking.

Amount Type

Select an amount type: Percentage, Amount, Remaining %. When the Active box is checked, then the default is Percentage.

Seq.

This field is automatically populated and incremented, starting with 1. The user may override the value assigned. If you are splitting a direct deposit across multiple accounts for this vendor, then you will have multiple lines in the grid to complete, and each line will have a sequence number that is associated with the Amount Type.

If multiple direct deposit accounts are defined, they are processed first by the Amount Type, with Amount being first, then Percentage and finally Remaining.

If multiple entries for a single Amount Type (Amount, Percentage, Remaining) are entered, then they are ordered by Seq. within that Amount Type.

Value

Enter a value for the portion of the direct deposit going into the account that you have specified on that line. Whether the value is a percentage or a dollar amount depends on the Amount Type selected. Note that the default Amount Type is Percentage, so any default Value shown is a percentage.
