EFTPAC 5.6 contains the following enhancements:
1. Eftpac 5.6 is compatible with Sage ACCPAC ERP version 5.6
2. From version 5.6 onwards, Modulo will not be updating Online help documents for our products. The 5.5 version of online help is included with the program package, but for the latest documentation please refer to the manual.
3. Eftpac now supports BPay payments for Westpac, Macquarie Bank, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Commonwealth Bank (CBA)
4. During EFT and BPay file creation, you can now select the Payment Date for the payment entries to be processed by the bank. Previously Eftpac would use the current computer system date.
5. AR Returns: Modulo had intended to include the ability to create EFT and BPay payments for Accounts Receivable Return batches in this release of Eftpac, but unfortunately release deadlines did not permit. Modulo intend to include this feature in the next service pack release of Eftpac 5.6.
6. The NAB International Funds Transfer format was modified to support a specification change. Additionally, the following changes were made for this format:
-
The Swift Code was removed from the Beneficiary Address 1 field
-
The Bank Name is now optional.
-
AUD payments will now put AUD into the Payment Method, otherwise BTC will appear there.
-
Two new fields have been added to the Maintain Bank Accounts screen – Routing Type and Routing Code. These can be entered, if required.
7. The Use Vendor Amount option has been added to the EFT Creation screen. The user can choose to either use the bank currency and amount or the vendor currency and amount when creating EFT or BPay payment files. This option is only applicable when using the MT100, MT101, Bank of America ACH and NAB International Funds Transfer formats.
8. The Maybank Bulk Payment format was added.
Please note the following with this format:
- When testing for the first time, in the first line of the text file, you will see an L at character 43. This indicates it is a live file and is to be validated and processed. You can change this to F for format and setup testing with the bank.
- It is assumed that all payments are being made to Malaysian residents.
- A hash total is not included with this file.
- The charges borne by field is set to use the default value – which is “customer – product level”
In the Eftpac Maintain Bank Account screen, if the IC checking indicator is set to Yes inside the bank software then one of these four fields must be entered: Business Registration Number, Beneficiary New IC, Beneficiary Old IC, Police/Army ID/ Passport No .
- In the EFTPAC Bank Setup screen:
Customer Product: this is the My-Product which is specified by the Bank or Corporate Admin
Bank User ID Number: This is the M2e Customer ID
Account: The account to debit
By order of: Ordering Party of the transaction.
9. The Westpac BPay format was added. Please note that with this format the file date must be set to at least the next business day.
10. The Macquarie BPay format was added.
11. The NAB BPay format was added. The Short Customer Name should be entered into the EFTPAC Bank Setup User Name field. The User Name field allows you to enter 26 characters, but on creation of the NAB BPay file it will be truncated to 20 characters.
12. The “Australian Bank - with Payer in Header Format” was added which is an ANZ variation of the standard aba format. This format is identical to the standard Australian Bank Format, except the Payer Account information (the debit BSB and Account details) are put into the header of the file. This may be required by ANZ customers.
