CREATE PAYROLL DIRECT DEPOSIT FILE#

Processing Information#

If your organization creates direct deposits, an interface file needs to be created and then sent to the bank. You may generate this file through the Create Payroll Direct Deposit File (UPDTB) form.

The UPDTB will create the bank deposit file according to the layout specified on the IDIF form.

The latest issue date of the deposits that will qualify for this EFT.
Interface CodeMandatory, LOV Available
The report definition selected will determine the format of the output file (if any),
as well as the columnar content of the report.
Interface DirectoryMandatory, Text
Must be a directory on the server for which the current user (as signed onto the
client’s network) has write capability. For example the entry ‘C:\TEMP’ accesses the
‘TEMP’ directory on the server, not the local directory for the computer terminal
being used.
File NameMandatory, Text
Enter the name of the file that will be created in the interface directory specified.
Write or AppendMandatory, LOV Available
Append or overwrite any existing file.
Custom Header RecordOptional, Text
This exact text will be written as a separate record at the beginning of the file.
Custom Trailer RecordOptional, Text
This exact text will be written as a separate record at the end of the file.
Output Headers/TrailerOptional, Toggle
If this toggle is ON, these records will be marked as ‘/H’ at the beginning and ‘/T’ at
the end.
Test RunOptional, Toggle (Only used for the Royal Bank)
This is a function for Canadian installations. This field ensures that in the Royal
Bank format, Record ‘1’, Field ‘6’ will have a value of TEST. This indicates that this
is a test file and not an actual file that the bank will load. The file will still be created
normally.
ACH BlockingOptional, Toggle
This is a function for US installations only.
Some clearing houses require blocking as described in the ‘ACH Rules’. Normally
these are ones who still use ‘reel to reel’ tape drives.
ACH records must be written in groups (blocks) of 10 records. After the file control
record is written onto the file, the remaining unused records of the last physical
block is completed with all 9's. If the total number records (headers + details +
control records) is a number evenly divisible by ten then there are no records written
with 9's.
TrialOptional, Toggle
If ‘ON’ then the update is not committed and UPDTB may be run again.
Exception LevelMandatory, LOV Available
Users may increase the level of logging done from exception to user, legislation,
usercalc, program or utility levels.
