INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to regenerate the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) file in Payables Management for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
RESOLUTION:
Since the EFT file name is unique and no longer overwrites the previous EFT file as it did in the past, there is no longer a way to simply regenerate the EFT file again in the production database. So if you have a failed EFT file or need to regenerate the same file again (and the trx are no longer in the CM20203/CM20202 tables, you can recreate it in a TEST company with either option:
Option 1 - Restore a backup of the company database (of before the checkrun was posted) to a TEST company. Then regenerate the checkrun with the same restrictions, same EFT numbers and post. Then generate the EFT file in the Test company and send this EFT file to the bank. If you do not have a Test Company, use this KB article to create one:
871973 --Set up a test company that has a copy of live company data by using SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/871973
Option 2 - If you do not have a backup, then make a new backup of the live database and restore it to a TEST company. Then void all the EFT payments, which will cause the applied invoices to move back to open status. Then regenerate the checkrun with the same restrictions, same EFT numbers, and post. Then regenerate the EFT file again and send this file to the bank. (Do this in a Test Company if possible and make sure the new checkrun is exactly the same as it was in the Live company.) Refer to the section below on how to void the payments if needed.
Option 3 - Manually manipulate a past EFT file. This is difficult to do if you have totals and counts in the footer lines. (This option is not supported or recommended as too risky for errors.)

~Information about the EFT file naming convention~
Microsoft Dynamics GP creates the EFT file name based on the following information:
-
The file name in the Payables Domestic Payments field and in the Payables Foreign Payments field in the Checkbook EFT Payables Options window. To the open Checkbook EFT Payables Options window, point to Financial on the Card menu, click Checkbook, click EFT Bank, and then click Payables Options.
-
The Checkbook ID.
-
The user date.
-
The index number for the next EFT file to be generated.
The EFT file name uses the following format:
[The file name in the Checkbook EFT Payables Options window] space [checkbook ID] space [user date] dash [index number for the next EFT file] Consider the following scenario. The file name in the Payables Domestic Payments field in the Checkbook EFT Payables Options window is PMT-Domestic. The checkbook ID is CHKBOOK, the user date is 04/15/2007, and the index number is 2. In this scenario, the EFT file name is as follows:
PMT-Domestic CHKBOOK 20170415-0002.txt
