DEFT Billing
FilePro can integrate with Macquarie Bank to automatically capture client payments. In order to use this feature, an active DEFT facility for billers account is required with Macquarie Bank.
More information regarding DEFT can be obtained from www.deft.com.au.
Once a DEFT account has been setup with Macquarie, FilePro-Macquarie integration can be setup.
DEFT Setup
To setup the integration, the first step is to create a payment type called DEFT.
Once the above is done, DEFT needs to be activated in System Control as shown below -
DEFT Billing
Once DEFT has been activated, it will force a generation of DEFT Reference numbers the first time you print or view an invoice for a file. Each reference is unique to that file.
FilePro Support team member will then assist you to put the DEFT Reference in the Debtor Invoice report layout. Here is a sample of what the bottom part of your layout might look like.
Once this is complete, a sample of the print out must be approved by Macquarie Bank before any invoices can be sent off to the client.
Processing DEFT Payments
Once clients start making payments through the DEFT portal, payment files can be downloaded from DEFT. These files come with a .txn extension. They can contain the payment for more than one bank account if applicable.
To import the file, go to Impoft DEFT screen found under the General tab.
