FNB Business Platinum Account. Bankserv (ACB) file format

SUGGESTED

We use Sage Premier:
Please assist with which ACB layout to select should we wish use to upload ACB file into an FNB Business Platinum Account.
FNB did provide the layout for a Bankserv (ACB) file format.
When using FNB Online Enterprise the error received is: Unable to identify and records on file.
We have tried all the available FNB options and none of them worked.3731.Payment_Bankserv_File_Format_SA_OB.pdf

    Good day, 

    Thank you for the post. 

    We currently cater for the following  ACB layouts in Sage Business Cloud Payroll:

     

    FNB Online Enterprise

    ABSA Barclays.Net

    Nedbank (Netbank)

    Standard Bank Business Online

    ABSA Business Integrator Online

    Capitec

    The ACB file created from the payroll is in the correct format as required by the banking platform specifications. 

    If you have created the ACB from Sage Business Cloud Payroll and you experience a problem when importing the file into the banking platform you will need to contact the bank to further advise and assist you with the error experienced with the import in the banking platform.  

    Kind regards

    Gerhard.

    Hi There

    We had to play around quite a bit but we eventually got ours to work. 

    When you export, the file extension must remain ".FIL"

    Interfaces> export data> ACB payroll data

    We found issues if the payment date we selected didnt match the date we were releasing it on the bank

    Then once you are in FNB, 

    Payments > batch payments> create and maintain > click on add > select "import" 

    give your batch a name

    import file type "bankserv.acb"

    tick "once off" 

    fill in the other info and click on continue

    Results file format "CSV"

    select your file and click continue

    Once your batches are in and the values are right against what you exported, click on submit

    Thank you Laura. And are you using online banking or enterprise banking on the FNB side? My client does not have "batch payments" as an option on her profile. Perhaps that is where the problem lies?
