How do I send the Payments to the National Australia Bank?
Open National Online and log onto the software.
From the menu bar, click on Funds Transfer, then Direct Payments, Import, File Import. (see screen below)
Locate the EFT01.XML file that System Five generated, by clicking on the drop down arrow and locating the directory that has the file. Once located, click on the EFT01.XML file and click "open"
If there were errors on the file, you may get a printable error report. (below)
In this example the errors reported did not fail the import & National Online has corrected as much as it can. Take a note of any errors as they will need to be corrected in System Five so you won't get this message again next time. Also note any error references to BSB / account numbers as National Online is not able to validate actual numbers.
If the file has fatal errors the import will fail & the report will advise. The most common reason for a file to fail, is your UserID, has not been set up in System Five, or the Account you want to make the payment from does not match with what is registered in the Online Software. Make the corrections in System Five & import again.
When imported the screen will look like picture below. Note the Amount of the file, Value Date (day file is to be credited to your account), & supplier accounts that will be debited.
Click on Save
Click on Authorize
Key in your password - click ok
An authorization confirmation screen will appear noting that message has been fully authorized. - click close
Click on Connect
Online will then dial the bank & transmit the file. When connection is completed, you can view the register to see the status of the file.
To view the register:
Click on Funds Transfer > Direct Payments > Register
The Status column shows at what state the file or message is at. After connection to the bank the status should show "Sent". A message with any other status has NOT been transmitted to the bank. A file can only be sent to the bank when it has been authorized and you have successfully dialed the bank.
If you then wait for about 30 minutes and connect to the bank again, the status should then be updated to show a confirmation of "Bank Received".
The Msg# column above contains the Reference Number that you need to type into the dialog box waiting in System Five.
