Toolbar and menu

Field Description
Beneficiary

Indicates the unique code for the beneficiary you want to pay from the Cash Book module, using the EFT payment system.

The beneficiary code can be either alphanumeric or numeric.

The EFT system differentiates between Cash Book beneficiaries and Accounts Payable beneficiaries (suppliers). It is therefore possible to allocate the same code to a cash book beneficiary and a supplier in the Accounts Payable module without causing duplications to occur.

Custom form for extra information

  • A custom form containing extra information can be created for each Cash Book beneficiary.

    If you select to create an XML file (Browse on Banks), then any information captured in a custom form is output to the XML file.

    A custom form may be used to capture additional information (relating to a batch of payments) required by a bank. It may also be used for internal information purposes.
