“The bank code ‘N’ is not approved for electronic payment. You must setup this bank code for electronic payment in ACH Interface Maintenance or select another bank code.

Vendors can be setup to have ACH through one bank account and checks through another. The solution occurs during the invoice payment selection (See below).

AND

When you go intoCheck Printing and Electronic Payment to print the checks be sure to select “CHECKS” when asked how you want to pay. Don’t select “ACH” or “BOTH” or you’ll get the error message if the bank account is not approved for ACH.
