If you allow your members to pay into their account via paypoint, then Curtains offers an import function of these transactions. The type of file that can be used for the import is XBK. This is an extract from Co-op banks Financial Director software. By default, the entries will be posted to the default share account. However, if you require the payment to go to specific accounts, you can achieve this by creating a direct credit record named PAYPOINT.
Before posting can commence, you must validate the file. This ensures that a valid member record can be found for each entry in the file. If Curtains cannot validate the file an exception report will be produced to screen. NB You will not be able to post the file without having validated successfully. To select a file, type the path and name in the file name box or click the Ellipsis button to browse . You may also perouse the file prior to posting by clicking the button to the right of the file name.
You can enter a batch number if you require for the posting. The day's batch number will be suggested if used earlier. You may also wish to levy a fee for each transaction.
Once you have completed the relevant fields and successfully validated the file you are in a position to click to begin the automatic posting process.
Tip: If you find that the preview of the file or the validation reports some peculiar amendments, you may need to amend the external payroll record using external file maintenance. Record length will be 107 or 108 and member number position will be 65 or 66.
