EFT - FIN2800

Finance > Tables > Bank Codes > EFT

This tab is used to create the LEA's EFT record to be used when sending vendor EFT payments to their bank. This function is accomplished by creating an EFT file during a payment run. This file is then given to the local education agency's (LEA) bank to be transmitted to an automatic clearinghouse.

Enter the EFT data for the LEA's EFT bank account to be used for Finance checks. Reference the Payroll > Tables > Bank Codes > EFT tab if using the same EFT bank.

Set up an EFT code:

Field	Description
Immediate Destination	Type the nine-digit Federal Reserve routing number used to identify the receiving point. This number is provided by the individual bank. The field length is ten digits, since some banks require a leading space before the nine-digit routing number. If you type the nine-digit routing number and later need to add a space before the number, you must do the following: Change the field to a random number (e.g., 123456789). Click Save. Add a leading space with the appropriate nine-digit routing number following the space (e.g., [space]987654321). Click Save again. Only follows these steps when you need to add a space before a number that was previously saved.
Company ID Type 5	Type the ten-digit code used to identify the LEA. This is either the employer identification number with a 0 added on the end of the number or a leading 1, depending on the vendor's bank.
