Prior to processing electronic payments, you should review your security settings to prevent unauthorized access to vendor account information. See Security. You should also contact your bank to learn what documentation they require for electronic payments and to verify that they support the electronic file method you want to use. Electronic payment format options include:

• Not defined
• United States (ACH)

  Note: The Electronic Payment tab is disabled if a credit card account is selected in the Account Code File Maintenance screen.
