Does anyone bank with HSBC and upload their EFT file under the CPA standard 005 format?
We have been using the HSBC New format until now, but because we are uploading multiple bank account EFT files to HSBC they require us to use the new CPA standard 005 format as it supports this. Basically the ASCII format has the crediting account on the header while the CPA standard has this account on each line.
But in the process, HSBC is concerned that the EFT Direct Payroll program is populating Field 13 with a incrementing number while they want the field to contain only 0's. This field is not one I can modify in the EFT options setup.
Anyone have an idea how to accomodate HSBC without physically going into the file after it's generated and manually changing it myself?
Thanks.
