When creating a new EFT file, there are two options:

If a vendor is not in EFT Vendors, do you want to:
a) Skip the vendor and continue the export
b) Display an error and abort the export.

We use a two batch method and have a cheque run batch and an EFT run batch. Normally, we have option b) chosen to prompt us when a vendor is in the wrong batch. Most of the time the option works except under option b) we only know about the first error that occurs on a batch run. In actual fact, there could be other errors with other vendors that we will not be advised of as we then have to change our export option to option a) in order to complete the batch file export. Without further manual assessment of the EFT file after the export, it is impossible to tell if other vendors were also skipped during process a). Batches can be rather large and this manual intervention is time consuming.

We would prefer another option such as c) Display an error and after confirmation, Skip the vendor to continue the export after prompt. The system should give back the vendor name that is causing the error and prompt us to continue after each error occurs. An export batch could then be created with the vendors that are causing the problem missing from the export.

if more than one vendor is in error we would be aware of it and fix all within each batch export.
