Error Uploading ABA Payroll File to ANZ - Invalid Account Number for Item 39

Hello GasitAccounts15 

 

Can you confirm that the payroll information listed in the employee card does appear to be accurate? I would first check that the account number for this employee is showing properly on the .aba file by taking a copy of  that file ceated by AccountRight, and opening it in Notepad or a similar product. Compare the exact layout of Line 39 against all of the others lines which went through correctly. Even if the account number is numerically accurate, an unnecessary tab, space, hyphen or other character will be enough to render that line erroneous during an import.

 

AccountRight does use a generic file format for bank files (the .aba) which is standardised across the majority of Australian banks. However, some banks will update their required format thus making a standardised ABA file format invalid. It may be worth consulting with the ANZ Transactive Global File Format to ensure that Line 39 is following the current format for ANZ. We have seen some instances of ANZ clients experiencing this issue due to a change rolled out by ANZ in 2019 that included some slight changes to the .aba format. Ensure that you have selected the Self-Balancing transaction option, found in the Banking tab of your selected account. If this was unticked, please do tick it and try the upload again.
