Bank Code to Use for Pre-Note Entries

Enter the bank code to use for any pre-note entries that have not yet been processed, or click the Lookup button to list all bank codes. The unprocessed pre-note entries will be added to the ACH files to be submitted to the bank for approval.

This field defaults to the first approved bank code set up in ACH Interface Maintenance. Leave this field blank if you do not want to include any pre-note entries that have not yet been processed.

Click List ACH Files to view a list of ACH files that have been created and remain in the location defined in the ACH Electronic Payments Folder field in Accounts Payable Options.

 

File Code to Use this Run

Type a code to use as part of the file name when the ACH files are created. The ACH file name consists of the bank code, the file code entered in this field, and the sequence number, and has a .ach file extension. This field defaults to the current month and day, but it can be changed.

Operand

Select an operand to limit your selection to a particular value or range of values. When selecting a value using the Lookup button or entering a value directly into the Value field (and moving out of the field), the operand automatically changes to Equal to. Likewise, when selecting a value using the Lookup button for a range or entering values directly into both Value fields, the operand automatically changes to Range.

The following operands are available:

Operand

Operand Function

AllSelects all information for the Select Field.
Begins withSelects only the information for the Select Field that begins with the value entered in the Value field.
Ends withSelects only the information for the Select Field that ends with the value entered in the Value field.
ContainsSelects only the information for the Select Field that contains the value entered in the Value field.
Less thanSelects only the information for the Select Field that is less than, but not equal to, the value entered in the Value field.
Greater thanSelects only the information for the Select Field that is greater than or equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Range

When Range is selected, two Value fields are used. Information is selected that is greater than or equal to the first value entered and less than or equal to the second value entered in the Value fields.


Note Entries in the "From" Value field may change to the entry made in the "To" Value field, if the "From" Value contains a lowercase letter and the "To" Value contains an uppercase letter. This occurs because lowercase letters are greater than uppercase letters. For example, if 01a is entered in the "From" Value field and 01C is entered in the "To" Value field, the "From" Value field changes to 01C.

Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Not Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is not equal to the value entered in the Value field.

 

Additional operands are available for date Select fields. The system date is used to calculate the date ranges. When one of the date operands is selected, the Value fields automatically default to the appropriate dates.

You can use commas (,) to separate multiple values; however, if your selection values already contain commas, you must use alternate separators to separate them.

Note When alternate separators are used, the value list must end with the alternate separator character.

The alternate separators include the following:

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = [ ] \ ; " / _ + { } | : < > ?

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

If your company uses commas in item codes, use an alternate separator to select one or multiple item codes.

 

Value

Enter a value based on the operand entered, or click the Lookup or Calendar button to select a value from the list. Multiple values can be entered by using a comma or alternate separators to separate values.

You can enter single or multiple values as follows:

Operand

Value

AllSelects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Ends with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Contains

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Less thanOnly single values are allowed.
Greater thanOnly single values are allowed.
RangeBoth Value fields are used to define a range. Only single values are allowed at each Value field.
Equal toMultiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Not Equal to

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An AND condition is assumed.

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").
