CREATE PAYROLL DIRECT DEPOSIT #

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.

as well as the columnar content of the report.
Interface DirectoryMandatory, Text
Must be a directory on the data base 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

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.

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

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.
