Key points when using Electronic Bank Payments:

The NetSuite SuiteApps License Client SuiteApp (Bundle ID 116144) must be installed first before purchasing an active Electronic Bank Payments license. For more information, see NetSuite SuiteApps License Client Guide for Administrators.
Global payments support may result in additional charges. Contact your NetSuite account representative for more information about how to enable payments between banks across different countries using the Electronic Bank Payments license.

The Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp is a managed bundle and automatically updated whenever there are updates. These issue fixes and enhancements are available after the bundle is updated in your production account. If the SuiteApp is installed in your Sandbox account, you must manually update it to get the latest version. For information about installing bundles, see Installing a Bundle.

Note:

For new installations of the SuiteApp, after you install the bundle, you must initialize the Electronic Payments Preference. Go to Payments > Setup > Electronic Payments Preferences. On the Electronic Payments Preference page, click Edit and then set the email templates for vendor and customer payments. Click Save.

Setting Up Roles and Permissions

The Custom EFT role is added to your account after installing the Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp. You can assign this custom role to employees who are going to process payments using the SuiteApp.

For OneWorld accounts, you must provide access to subsidiaries to process their bill payments. On the custom role record, you can select both primary and secondary subsidiaries to allow access to their company bank details and other information that a custom role can use for Electronic Bank Payments transactions. If no subsidiary is selected, the role has access only to the primary subsidiary, by default. For more information, see Restricting Role Access to Subsidiaries (OneWorld Only).

The following table shows the default permissions assigned to the Custom EFT role. If you are an Administrator, you can configure these permissions and customize the role's level of access to the Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp. For more information, see Customizing or Creating NetSuite Roles.

Important:

You must perform the following actions before granting permissions to your custom role:

Make sure you do not change the preferences in the Bank Details custom record.
Ensure the list and level of permissions on the customized role are equal to or more than the minimum required permission level. For more information, refer to the following Permissions table.
