International Payment Reporting for the US

You use the Make EFT Payments flow to generate electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments, including international payments, and to generate reports on them. Run this process after you have completed your payroll processing and are ready to issue the payments.

To run this flow:

1. From My Client Groups, click Payroll.

2. Click Submit a Flow.

3. Select your US legislative data group.

4. Search for and select Make EFT Payments.

You can select a payroll for which prepayments have been processed or select a range of dates to process multiple payrolls.

• If you select a payroll, the consolidation set is automatically selected.

• If you don't select a payroll:

  1. You can choose one of the listed consolidation sets. This selects all payrolls in that consolidation set.

  2. The flow runs on all payrolls within the Process Start Date and Process End Date range.

Prerequisites

Before you can create an international payment:

1. Create an international organization payment method (OPM).

   For further info, see Organization Payment Methods for the US in the Help Center.

2. Attach the OPM to a payroll.

3. Verify that there is a primary mailing foreign address for the employee.

4. Create an international personal payment method for the employee.

Report Output

The Make EFT Payments process generates both an electronic file and an audit report. To report international payments, employers submit the IAT electronic file to National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) and use the audit report for reconciliation. The report process generates the following files with separate report-job name numbers.

• IAT electronic file for international payments

• PPD electronic file for US payments

  PPD is the EFT template for US payments.

• Audit report for verification of details and totals

• Prenotification files
