How to Test Electronic Payments

After you have set up electronic banking and generated payment suggestions, you can test the payment journal lines for errors before posting them.

Some of the information that is validated includes:

Whether bank account numbers are valid.
Whether positive payment lines are present.
Whether domestic and international payments are made from only one bank account.
Whether only one bank account can be used for Interbanks Standards Association Belgium (Isabel).
Whether payment lines are in euro for Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
Whether a number series has been defined for SEPA.

You can view any errors on the Export Check Error Logs page.

You have to correct all errors before you can post the lines.

To test payment journal lines

Choose the icon, enter Payment Journals, and then choose the related link.
In the Batch Name field, select the required journal batch.
In the Export Protocol field, select the export protocol.
Enter the payment journal line information, and then choose the Check Payment Lines action to validate the payment journal lines. The validation that is performed on the journal lines depends on the type of check that is specified on the Export Protocols page.
