Create the Positive Pay Extract
You can create the Positive Pay extract in General Ledger Reports.
On the General tab, you can enter a range of check dates to include in the extract. When the extract is complete, it lists the check information included in the extract. We recommend that you print the extract report so that you have a record of the check information that you sent to the bank.
When you create the Positive Pay extract the first time, you should save the extract report. By saving the report settings, you do not have to set up the file layout again, unless the bank changes the layout. After the first extract, you only need to enter the date range. This is helpful if you use different banks for checking purposes. You can name the extract report for the bank account so you know the correct extract to use for the bank account.
If this is your first time creating the extract, see Setting up the Positive Pay Extract.
