Set up positive pay files by using Electronic reporting

This article explains how to set up positive pay and generate positive pay files by using Electronic reporting.

Note

Before using the Generate bank positive pay file function, you will need to refresh the entity list first. Go to Data management > Import / Export > Framework parameters Entity settings FastTab, select Refresh entity list.

Set up positive pay to generate an electronic list of checks that is provided to the bank. When a check is presented to the bank, the bank compares it with the list of checks. If the check matches a check in the list, the bank clears it. If the check doesn't match a check in the list, the bank holds it for review.

Security for positive pay files

Positive pay files can contain sensitive information about payees and check amounts. Therefore, make sure that you use appropriate security measures from the time that the files are generated until they are received by the bank. Positive pay files are downloaded to the location that is specified by your web browser. Because positive pay files can contain sensitive information, it's important that only authorized users have access to generate and view this information in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. Use the following table to help you determine the privileges that are required.
