Solution Sheet
Bank Details Not Approved - EFT Authorisations
When posting an EFT batch you receive an error that bank details have not been approved. From version 2026, EFT banking details must be approved in Miscellaneous Codes before a payment can be entered.
From version 2026, EFT Authorisations were introduced. For security reasons, EFT banking details can no longer be edited directly in Batch Entry or entered on the fly.
Version 2026 and later:
- EFT details must be set up and approved in C/B Setup | Miscellaneous Codes | EFT tab before a payment can be entered for a Vendor or Miscellaneous Code.
- A new Miscellaneous Code can be added from the zoom button in the Batch Entry EFT Tab if needed.
- Ensure the user has Approve Miscellaneous Batch Details checked in Security Groups | EFTXpress.
Prior to version 2026:
- In Batch Entry, zoom to the Miscellaneous Code Details | EFT Tab and check the Approved flag.
- If bank details are not populating from Miscellaneous Codes, drill down and re-enter or confirm the details.
- Check security rights — the user needs Approve Miscellaneous Batch Details in EFTXpress Security Groups.
