It outlines the manual entries that may be required and details what will automatically print in the file.

Is this going to be updated in Sage 300 CRE?  As the reply below states, it is very inconvenient to have to manually alter each EFT file before it's sent to the bank.  There has to be a way to update this in Sage so it permanent.
