You can make electronic payments by preparing an electronic payment file (ABA file) for your bank to process. Electronic payment files contain the payment information for your bank to process, including your bank details, your payees’ bank details and the amounts you want to pay. Electronic payment files are prepared using the Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) file format.
Before you can prepare an electronic payment file, you need to complete the electronic payment setup tasks. For more information, see Set up electronic payments.
When you record a supplier payment in the Spend Money window, select the Group with Electronic Payments option to indicate that you want to pay the supplier electronically.
