QSG - Setting up ACH Payments in xTuple

Quick Start Guide to setting up and processing ACH payments.

The steps to set up and use ACH payment processing in xTuple are:

1.  Set up your Encryption key under System > Setup > Encryption 

2.  Accounting > Setup > Accounts Payable tab > check the box for 'Enable EFT Payments' and fill in this screen accordingly.

3.  Accounting > Setup > Bank Accounts - We recommend creating a separate account for ACH Payments even if the bank account that is used already exists so that ACH payment runs can be done separately and, if desired, use a custom form/report that is not your formatted checks.  
     **Be sure to check the box for 'Print Checks/EFT Payments' and assign this separate form if you wish to have paper copies.  
Go to the Transmissions tab and Enable EFT Payments and fill out appropriately.

4.  Purchase > Vendor > In each of the vendors that you want to allow EFT Payments for: go to the Transmissions tab and select the radio button for Payments. Check 'Enable EFT Payments' and fill in all other fields appropriately.

Once this setup is done, you would create vouchers as usual and select to pay and prepare a payment run for the bank account you have established for EFT payments.
