You can generate third-party payments for Australian payees in the Australia Third Party Payments tab in Payroll > Post Commit Management.
Role feature access: Payroll > Post Commit Management > Australia Third Party Payments.
In this tab, you can review payment schedules and generate and download payment ABA files according to the schedules and settings configured for each payee. In third-party payment processing, Dayforce generates ABA files separately for each legal entity, payee, and payment period.
To pay third-party payees using bank payment files, you must set a default bank account in the Legal Entity > Customer Funding Identifiers screen. Without a default bank account for the legal entity, you can't generate third-party payment files.
When you select Australia in the Country drop-down list, the Australia Third Party Payments tab shows only the Australian payees that use the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payment method and have payment amounts for Australian pay groups.
