File Setup

The default File Setup is Fixed which will export the file name as FTZZZZZZZZZZZZ999999.IMP where ZZZZZZZZZZ is the Bank Code and 999999 is the Batch ID.

To customize the export file name click on the Name list and select Custom. You can choose up to 5 segments specifying the length and format for each one.

File Sequence Number

The File Sequence Number is a unique serial number for your transaction files and is updated each time an EFT batch is successfully posted or the Regenerate function is run.

It starts from 0 and increments with each new transaction file. However, when you restore a backup, this number may reset to 0. For specific formats it is reset when the session date changes.

Note: If your File Sequence Number resets after a backup restore, you'll need to contact your bank to obtain the last used File Sequence Number. If you ever need to manually change the File Sequence Number, Cashbook will provide a warning to alert you.
