Generate ABA Files for Payments to Third-Party Payees of Custom Categories

Payroll administrators can generate ABA files for payments to Australian third-party payees of custom categories. Even though the steps to generate ABA for third party payments is the same for Australian categories, there are configurations required. This configuration must be in place before the first pay run where deductions (payments to payees) can be taken from employees’ salary or wages.

To configure custom categories for third-party payees:

1. Create a custom category in Payroll Setup > Third Party Payees, in the Payee Categories tab.
1. Create an Australian payee in the Payees tab and select the Country drop-down list as Australia.
2. In the Assign To drop-down list, select Deduction.
3. Select the Active checkbox.
2. Link a designated deduction code with the third-party payee.
   1. Navigate to Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions.
   2. In the Deductions tab, search and select the deduction code.
   3. In the General tab, ensure the Allow Payee checkbox is selected.
   4. In the Payees tab, ensure the Payee Category field is provided with the custom payee category.
   5. Add an effective date record and in the Payee column, select the desired payee, and provide other relevant information.
