September 2020    Tags: Accounts Payable, Positive Pay, Version 2020

Our bank just started offering a Positive Pay service and we want to take part. Does APS have an option for Positive Pay?

Both Tabs3 Accounts Payable and Tabs3 Trust Accounting provide a Positive Pay Export utility!

To set up Positive Pay for the first time

1. From the Checks menu, select Positive Pay Export.
2. In the First Time Configuration window, select the Bank Account you want to export and then click Next.
3. Select which Additional Columns you want to include, and whether or not you want to include Voids and how they should be denoted in the export file, and then click Next.
4. In the Checks dated fields, select a date range for your first export, and then click Next.
5. In the Export file field, specify a name and location for the export file and then click Export.

The file that has been exported can now be submitted to your bank.

1. From the Checks menu, select Positive Pay Export.
2. Select the Bank Account.
3. In the Include section, select the desired option.
4. Click Export.
