How to purge direct deposit interface files

Description

How often should you purge direct deposit files?

The frequency of purging data is at your discretion. Files can be purged after the bank has completed the direct deposit transaction because the information is not needed again. This file might only be needed if you regenerate the interface file.

NOTE: There are instances when the payroll journal cannot be updated due to a duplicate batch. Purging will correct this issue if you set a purge date that is early enough.

Resolution

[BCB:1:Backup warning:ECB]

Open Payroll, Direct Deposit, Direct Deposit Processing
Select Purge Direct Deposit Files and click Proceed
Enter the starting and ending transmission dates to purge transmitted batches, or select the All check box to include all dates and click Proceed

Note: The purge utility purges the transmitted direct deposit transaction files (located in the PR_03xxx.soa data file, xxx=company code), not the generated ACH files saved on your network.

Use Purge Direct Deposit Files to delete processed payroll data based on transmission dates.

If using Sage Direct Deposit Services, do the following:

Open Payroll, Direct Deposit, Direct Deposit Processing
Select all applicable batches you want to purge and click the Purge button
