Sage Payroll ACB Export for Standard Bank

SOLVED

Good morning,

It's the first month we're using the ACB Export functionality, please assist with the following query.

I've loaded the Export settings as follows:

The file was exported as .txt - is this the file that needs to be imported online in Standard Bank or the .PDF?  I downloaded both.

The action date is set at the 24th, does that mean that the employees will receive their pay at midnight tonight or as soon as the ACB transaction has been authorised?

I've also selected 'Live Run'

It appears that all employee information was imported successfully - they're all set to ACB and I didn't get any errors when I exported the .txt and .PDF files.

I will have to ask the client to import the file into her Standard Bank Profile but I'm unable to find the steps for her, there is an error on this page: http://help.accounting.sageone.co.za/find_by_tag?language=en&locale=za&service=payroll&tag=za_pay_acb_export, could you please assist me with the steps?

Thank you!

    Good day Yolande. 

    Thank you for your post. 

    The ACB setup is applied per company, and may be defined in any cycle within that company.
    Select your ACB Layout type and complete the layout setup as required.
    Click on the Save button once you have completed the required field
    Once the export has been completed, you will be taken to the ACB Payment Run Details view where a summary of the exported information is shown.
    To print a report containing the exported employees and amounts, click on the Export to PDF button.This report is to double check that all employees paid via ACB is included in the import file before you download the bank import file.
    If you are satisfied that the correct amounts have been exported, you can click on the Download button. The ACB file will be downloaded into your default Downloads folder on your computer.
    Use this file to upload to your bank for payment.

    The ACB export must be done per cycle. It is not possible to export for multiple cycles. Switch to the cycle you want to do the export for.
    If you require assistance with the file import into your banking platform please contact your bank to further assist. 
    Kind regards

    The client spoke to Standard Bank and they are saying Sage Payroll should create a link that takes her to the payment in online banking?  Is there anyone on this group that is able to assist with a Standard Bank Import please?

    Good day Yolande. 

    ACB enables the user to export a bank payroll file that can be imported into your company banking to pay your employees’ salaries / wages directly. The net pay amount will be exported; there is no option to export a ‘selected’ amount.

     

    We currently cater for the following  ACB layouts in Payroll:

     

    FNB Online Enterprise

    ABSA Barclays.Net

    Nedbank (Netbank)

    Standard Bank Business Online

    ABSA Business Integrator Online

    Capitec

    The payroll system only creates the import file to import into the banking platform and it does not create a link automatically to the banking platform. 

    The payroll file must be imported into the banking platform. 

    If you require assistance to import the payroll file into your banking platform please contact your bank to further assist. 

    Kind regards
