Sending payment file to Bank for check payments

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My current client doesnt print checks in house instead they want to send payment instructions to their Bank. The Bank will then interpret the message and issue checks to the respective vendor.

We have to use PMW for this but the problem is I am not sure which PMW format to use. There is one standard format called "Check" but it creates a odf which is actually a payment advice. What I want is payment instructions file in .txt / .xml format.

Can we use formats like PAYMUL for this scenario

Your suggestions awaited.

Thanks and Regard,

Hi Ravish,

You can use the ACH Payment Medium format. This is relevant to US.

I believe you have done the relevant configuration in OBPM1. The file can be generated in .txt & .xml format based on the configuration done here.

See if it Helps.
