Two configuration-related updates are available for payment files:

1. Control where a payment file is saved to

  • A default location for payment files to be saved to can be set-up (by Reapit Support)

  • A separate location can be set for each payment type, plus one/more can be set up as required

  • Payment types are: BACS/ABA, International, Faster, Next Day, CHAPS

  • When a default location has been set-up, it is locked down and cannot be changed by the user

2. Prevent payment file from being viewed

  • After a payment file is generated, it cannot be viewed

Both options are explained further below

1. Control where a payment file is saved (where configured)

From BACS/ABA and Cheque Run:
