The TWBS Electronic Funds Transfer application comes with several EFT formats to choose from or you can design your own.
If you are unsure of the format that is required for your banking institution, please contact them and request a document outlined their required EFT format.
An EFT format selection is required before the bank configuration can continue.
File paths entered must be reachable by client workstations that will be using the EFT add-on.
Even if the Pre-note Required field was not selected, a Pre-note File Path must be specified.
The TWBS Electronic Funds Transfer is not responsible for any data transmissions to your banking institution. It is only responsible for the generation of data from the SAP® Business One system in the specified EFT format. Transmission of the transaction data files is solely the responsibility of the end customer.
OUTDATED
This configuration process should be repeated for each SAP® Business One account that will be used in.
In order to process both Incoming (Customer payments) to you and Outgoing (Vendor payments to your vendors) EFT transactions, separate Incoming and Outgoing Bank Transfer Payment Methods will need to be created for each CountryBankAccount combination to be used for Electronic Funds Transferring.
If the Payment Type is Outgoing, this is the account from which the funds will be drawn for the transfer. If the Payment Type is Incoming, this is the account to which funds will be deposited.
Click the SAP menu option titled Business Partner Master Data under the Business Partners menu to load the Business Partner Master Data screen.
Note – Bank account data for business partners is entered and maintained on the Payment Terms tab of the Business Partner Master Data form.
Navigate to the Business Partner that you want to configure for EFT processing.
Click on the Payment Run tab.
Select Include next to the bank transfer payment method(s) you would like to use with this business partner.
Note – TWBS EFT does not control how Payment methods are assigned to invoices. Payment methods are assigned to invoices by the SAP Business One Payment Wizard.
Note – The House Bank field is an optional SAP® Business One field. If it is used in versions prior to SAP® Business One 2005 SP1, it will override any bank associated with a payment method. For versions SAP® Business One 2005 SP1 and after, the House Bank field will no longer override the payment method bank.
Click on the Payment Terms tab.
Click the Choose From List icon to the right of the Bank Country field. This will load the Business Partner Bank Accounts - Setup screen.
Select the business partner's bank.
Note – If the Business Partners bank is not listed, click the SAP menu option titled Banks under the Administration -Setup -Banking menus to load the Banks - Setup screen. Once the bank setup has been completed, you can return to this step.
Enter the Account number for the business partner's bank account. Click the Update button on the Business Partner Bank Accounts - Setup screen.
Click the Ok button on the Business Partner Bank Accounts - Setup screen to return to the Business Partner Master Data screen.
Enter the EFT DFI Transit Routing number and EFT Account Type into the fields on the Payment Terms tab.
If you wish to use a termination date, enter a valid date into the optional EFT Termination Date field.
If you are using a pre note, the EFT Activation Date field will be filled in when the pre note is created. If the bank associated with the Business Partner’s bank transfer payment method does not require a pre note, then the activation date will be ignored by the system.
Click the Add button for a new business partner or the Update button for an existing business partner.
Warning – Any changes made to EFT data (DFI Transit Routing number, Account Type, or bank Account) on the Payment Terms tab will cause the activation date to be set to null. If pre notes are required, this will result in the business partner becoming ineligible for EFT until they have once again been pre noted and the pre note grace period has passed.
