Trust Accounting Q&A: Automate Positive Pay

September 2021    Tags: Accounts Payable, Positive Pay, Trust Accounting

We run the Positive Pay export process in Trust on a daily basis. Is there a way to automate this utility?

A startup option can be created for Trust to automatically export Positive Pay. The startup option is “/POSITIVEPAY #”, where # is the bank account that you want exported.

To add POSITIVEPAY as a startup option

1. Right-click the Trust desktop icon and select Properties.
2. In the Target field, add a space after the path and then enter “/POSITIVEPAY #” (e.g., “C:\Program Files\Tabs3\TAS.EXE” /POSITIVEPAY 1).

The export file is overwritten each time the export is run. If you want to retain a copy of the export, copy or move the export file before performing the export again.

Note: Trust will close once the export has been completed. Because of this, you may want to create a separate desktop shortcut to use this startup option.
