To Add a Payment Method for the Canadian EFT Plug-In

You use the Payment Methods (CA204000) form to create a payment method to be used for electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments through the Canadian EFT plug-in.

Tip:
As an alternative to adding a payment method, you can use the predefined Direct Deposit payment method that is provided in an out-of-the-box instance of MYOB Acumatica.

Before You Proceed

Make sure that the Canadian Localization feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
