Your organization may benefit from setting up transactions in advance with parties with which you conduct regular, specific transactions. For example, using template transactions can streamline the process of distributing quarterly payouts to clients or monthly or annual payments to suppliers.
You set up the template, specifying whether it is for bank account transfers or EFTs. You can then further specify if the template is a repetitive transfer or drawdown transfer. Page values established at the template level for repetitive and drawdown transfers cannot be changed by a user at the transfer request level. In addition, you can specify security at the field level for the template.
Note: Pages and fields in the funds transfer template become available or unavailable for entry, depending on the selected transfer class.
To create a funds transfer template:
Select the Add a New Value tab on the Funds Transfer Templates search page.
