To submit a direct debit payment batch

The procedure to submit a direct debit payment batch is as follows:

1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Rents > Configuration > Direct Debit Payment Batch. The Direct Debit Payment Batch window is displayed.
2. Expand a BACS company heading from the alphabetical list and select an associated batch reference or type the reference directly into the Search DD Batch field. By default the list is filtered to show Created batches. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Submitted, Posted, Cancelled or All 1.
3. Click on Submit Batch. An output file is generated to the Payment batch output file path location, specified in the company BACS account configuration settings 2. The status of the batch is set to Submitted.

Note

1 The Search DD Batch field will match against any element of the batch reference.

2 The naming convention of the output file is the concatenated Batch Reference and Date / Time stamp assigned at the point of generation; the structure of the file conforms to the prescribed BACS format and is ready for processing by the BACS Bureau or intermediary software.
