Export Paychecks to a Text File

If your enterprise uses a third-party application to process paychecks, you can export checks created in Vantagepoint to a text file, and then import the data into your third-party software. You must perform the export step for each bank code that you are processing.

Prerequisite: You must print and assign check numbers before you export payroll checks to a text file. For more information, see:

• Print Payroll Checks
• Assign a Check Number to a Single Check
• Assign check Numbers to a Group of Sequential checks

To export checks to a text file:

1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
2. In the Payment run search on the Payroll Payments form, select a payment run with a status of Printing, Printed, or Assigned.
   This form also displays immediately after checks are processed.
3. In the Banks grid, select the bank for which you want to export paychecks to a text file.
4. On the toolbar of the <Bank> Payments grid, click Export to Text.
5. On the Download Payments to Text File dialog box, click Create File.
6. On the File Download dialog box, open the file or save it to a location on your computer or network.

Next Step: You can use the exported text file for upload to your third-party software to complete check processing.
