    The bank wants us to submit a file that can include ACH, Checks and C-Card payments. The file can be either processed immediately or the various parts manipulated in their CEO module. AP161 has some of the information but not all and would require major re-working. Which I can do. But I don't have a test system to play with so I am going to have to test on prod...or build a new productline to test with. Neither of which are appealing.

    I am considering running the payments through like an alternate ACH and then creating the bank file outside of Lawson. Right now our ACH's go directly to the bank from AP160 via a printer script. I am sure that is what our users will want but the C-card file is more complicated.

    I guess what I would like to know is if anyone has done this for Wells Fargo. WF say they have customers using Lawson and doing this but cannot give me references.

      We are using Wells Fargo. And we just upload our AP161 report file to them.
      Seems that it took us a while to get everything mapped to the correct spot, but all of the work was done on the WF side.
      We just upload the raw AP161 file.

        It (AP161 job) creates a work file in $LAWDIR/lprod/work/AP161ELECTPMT and that is what we upload to the bank.

          Do you know which system you use with Wells Fargo? We're looking at changing to them and they have shown us both their SPS solution as well as AP control. They looked to have different data needs so I'm curious which you're able to cover using the AP161.

            ACH, CCR, and P-Cards -- I'm pretty sure that's our terms for them and not WF's. The AP161 is the CCR item.
