Generating payment files
You can generate payment files using the following steps:
- After you have finalised a pay run, click the Download payment file > Download payment file button from the pay run 'Actions' tab (If you only have one file set up, your payment file will download automatically):
- If you have multiple payment file settings you will need to select the file you would like to use. To do this click on Download payment file > Payment file settings > select the required payment file details to use > save:
- Click on Download payment file > Download payment file button and your file will download automatically.
- The system will remember which settings you last used to generate your payment file and will automatically select it for next time.
