    Addresses
    section of the
    Main
    tab.
    note
    You only need to complete
    State
    and
    ZIP
    if they apply to that country.
  4. Select the
    Direct Deposit
    tab.
  5. You can deposit vendor checks directly to one or more accounts. Choose whether to base the allocation percentage calculation on the

    or the

    .

    note
    The application calculates deposits in the order in which they appear in the grid.
  9. If the vendor is not a tax agent and will use International ACH Transactions (IAT), you'll need to do the following:
    1. Select the
      ellipsis
      button in the IAT column.
    2. Specify that this direct deposit allocation uses
      International format
      .

      information.
  10. For new information in the grid, set the
    Status
    to
    Prenote
    .
    note
    After the bank has prenoted the account, change the bank account status to
    Approved
    . This will enable Accounting CS to create direct deposit files. 
    The
    Status
    options are:
    • Approved
      : you've set everything up and this vendor's bank account is ready for direct deposit.
    • Needs authorization
      : you've set everything up, but this vendor needs authorization before you can process direct deposit.
    • Prenote
      : you've set everything up, but this vendor's bank account information will be prenoted before live processing.
    • Suspend
      : you've set everything up, but this vendor doesn't currently use direct deposit. This option saves the information for when the vendor uses direct deposit again.
    • Waiting
      : The bank account information has been prenoted. We are waiting for the prenote to be approved.
    While prenotes are supported with International ACH Transactions (IAT), the concept of prenotes is not supported in most countries. In most cases, if you use IAT, you'll not get a response to your prenote.
  11. If the vendor/agent is a paycard recipient, mark the
    Paycard recipient
    checkbox.
  12. If this vendor is an agent to whom you will make tax payments:
    1. Enter information in the
      Direct Deposit Tax Payment Additional Information
      section.
    2. If you need to change the
      State/local amount type code 1, 2, 3
      from its default
      T
      code, select the
      ellipsis
      button.
