EFT Error: EFT must not be No in General Journal Line, Journal Template Name = Payments; Journal Batch Name = EFT; Line No = 20,000

When we try to process our EFT payments as we’ve always done, now when we create the EFT text file we get the following error message:

EFT must not be No in General Journal Line, Journal Template Name = Payments; Journal Batch Name = EFT; Line No = 20,000.

Steps to produce the error:

  1. Financial - Payables - Payment Journals - [Change Batch: “default” to “EFT”] - Suggest Vendor Payments
  2. Functions - Create EFT Text file (File Path - select any file on your pc; Enter “1” for Document No. - Click OK and we get the above error message.

I’m new to Navision and this would be an enormous help. Thanks!

Hi, Justin, and welcome to forum!

Problem you described must be either Australian localization or modification for you…

My guess is, that you have this custom field “EFT”, which is Boolean (Yes/No), for some reasons there sits “No” in situation, when Navision expects it to be “Yes”.

Not knowing what is it all about, I can only suggest setting it to Yes where needed - can it be done manually or system sets it? Once again - its only guess after reading error message you provided…

BTW, what is EFT?

This is likely related to Chargelogic add-on, it is a credit card processing add-on. There will not be alot of users here that can answer your question, You are going to need to contact your solution center for this.

We use chargelogic, and have had a similar error from time to time, but it can be many things, something to look at, is the eft entry trying to reference an invoice that has already had the payments applied to it, thus it is not open any longer

line 20000 is the second line in the journal. look at it for clues as to what is wrong.

Hi,

@Modris - EFT - Electronic Funds Transfer

@Justin,

The GB version has BACS functionality which I assume is similar - it works by exporting the journal lines to a text file and marks the record. You must then post the line. Have a look at the second line and see if it’s on a previous EFT file.
