EFT Payements

Hi everyboy,

Some of our vendors don't want to be payed by checks anymore, so I made all the setups nedeed to use EFT payements allowed by Syteline.

I can generate now EFT files of type CPA, that's the format used by our bank, I verified the structure and the informations in the file and it seems to be correct.

But for some reason the EFT file is rejected by our bank platform and returns errors. If any one of you is already using this type of payement, Could you please give examples of EFT Files of type CPA that works correctly so I can compare them with mine.

Thank you.

Hello,

Is this for Canadian EFT Payment? If yes did you checked with Bank what is the Bank Account Number and ID Number they would like to use for EFT payment? Normally Canadian banks issue two different numbers one is for Checks and Other one to be used for EFT due to security concerns.

Also please send the error message and rejection reason that it shows by bank.

Thank you

Thanks for your answer,

here is the error message I get from the bank(it's in French)

apparently you have a blank space somewhere which isn't allowed in this transaction

The error message says that there are several invalid white spaces in each transaction line, and that other fields are invalid (availability date is invalid, recipient's account number is empty/null, and other unlisted errors).

Maybe if you start by trimming each field so that white spaces are omitted, the other errors will disappear?

Also check that the recipient account number is filled properly, and verify the fund availability dates.

I have not yet used EFT in SyteLine so I cannot help much more here.

It seems you have carriage returns on the file and the format is not 1464 bytes hence it is rejecting. Open the file into TextPad or Notepad++ or Ultra Edit and you will able to find the carriage returns which is causing the issue.

I verified my file, the structure looks good
