positive pay
Positive Pay - Template Edit Capability. In past softwares I've dealt with, we've had the ability to create bank groups which tie to a specific bank's positive pay file requirements because each bank has to have their own unique template. The bank group templates are then linked to the bank ledger account so, as you issue checks, the system knows which format to file for the positive pay export. Currently, the only option we have is to download the export and tweak it manually to meet the bank's needs. It would be preferable to have the system be able to produce the file in the format needed rather than having to manually touch it each week.

I like the suggestions above. If not possible, an easy solution would be to make the vendor name field available in custom reports so we could build our own positive pay report that matched our bank's required format.

I agree - also, adding the ability to export as a .csv as our bank doesn't support .txt. We have to export as .txt, convert to a .csv, then manipulate columns and the date fields in order for our bank to accept. By the time it takes to do all that, we can probably just enter the information by hand. I'd really rather let the CSuite system do the work instead of me! :)

We have just implemented Positive Pay thinking it would be an easy export. But our bank needs fewer fields in a different order and in a csv format. At this point it is easier for me to make the file manually than try to edit the current export and make sure I get it right. At a minimum, please consider a template so we can make it work for our bank and the ability to make a csv.
A 2nd level upgrade would be to add a field so the system would know which records have been exported, so we wouldnt have to enter a date. If we could just hit export new records that would be great!
