The window below will appear
It contains the following fields:
User ID Number - enter your user identification number as supplied by your Bank or Financial Institution. This is how the bank identifies you, the employer, as one of their clients. It consists of up to 6 digits and each of those digits are numbers. No letters are allowed. When corresponding with the bank, if they seem confused at what a "User ID" is, then dont use the term "User ID". Just explain to them that it is a (maximum) 6 digit number, where every digit is a numeral (not a letter) and it is used to identify who (which company ie client of the bank's) the file is coming from. If you still find no luck on getting advise from your bank, just fill this field up with zeroes.
In the case of Westpac the User ID Number is always 087534 which identifies the file as coming from a Westpac client.
Lodgement Reference Number - this is an optional field and is used primarily to indicate what the moeny in the file pertains to. If your bank does not supply you with a number then you may leave this field blank or enter 53, because the FAST-Bank™ file is classified as a Type 53 - Wages & Salaries.
Balancing File - your bank should inform you if they require a self-balancing file or a balancing contra debit entry file. If they dont, then leave it on 'No'.
Hard Disk / Floppy Disk - select the drive that your FAST-Bank™ file is to be saved to when created eg. Floppy Drive A or B, or Hard Disk.
Path to FAST-Bank™ Folder - this field is automatically set up to save the banking file into the e-PayDay® data path that you are currently using. You can change the path of where you would like this file to be saved. If you wish to save this banking file directly into the Online Banking folder, change the path to that of the Online Banking program/data folder.
'Browse' button - to help you find the path of where you would like your FAST-Bank™ (.aba) file to be sent.
NOTE: If you send the file to a path other than the default data path or to a floppy drive, the program will still take a copy of this file and place it into the corresponding data folder.
NOTE: If you type in a path name without browsing and this path does not exist, you will get the following message when producing the FAST-Bank™ file:
FAST-Bank™ File Identification - your bank will need to know the name of your Bank File and its location on the Hard Disk.
Name of FAST-Bank™ file
