Manage direct deposit files

Accounting CS integrates with Kotapay so you can send your clients' electronic payments directly to their employees' checking or savings account. You can also make child support payments and payments to non-taxed employees.
You can use
Manage Files
to do the following:
  • Preview selected files or transactions.
  • Reverse the transactions for a client or for individual employees.
  • Recreate the ACH files.
  • Preview or print the ACH Detail Report or the ACH Condensed Report.

    • Reverse Transaction
      isn't available for:
      • ACH transactions that have already been reversed.
      • ACH file entries that have an addenda record.
      • ACH files that have a method of Kotapay.
    • Reversing a direct deposit transaction has no effect on the original employee payroll check. To remove the amount from employee earnings, you'll need to edit the original payroll check. When you reverse, delete, or void checks, the application adjusts any related payroll liabilities with a negative amount.
    • If you are using International ACH Transactions (IAT), reversals are handled on a best-effort basis. The rules for reversing files and reversing entries vary by country and, in some countries, such transactions may be prohibited
