Writing Payment Groups for Z1 Payments

To combine two or more payment groups into one payment file to be sent to the bank, you need to perform the following steps when writing the group:

  • Set the Payment Control Group Output processing option on the Print tab of the Work With Payment Groups program to 1.

    This processing option enables you to write several groups into one file while separating the groups by the bank account number.

  • Because the system writes all of the groups simultaneously, select all of the groups in the detail area and then select Write from the Row menu.

    Note: If groups are written simultaneously, take special care to ensure that the groups are not reset or undone separately. It is recommended that immediately after writing groups, you review and then update the groups together to ensure that no vouchers are paid twice.

After you update, verify, or correct all of the details, you write the payment groups that create the Z1 file. The Z1 file is created only if the Create A/P Bank Diskette - Germany program (P04572G2) is specified as the payment instrument.
