Request for Payments

To create and upload a Real-Time Payments Request for Payment (RfP) file into your business bank dashboard and then download and upload it into QuickBooks Online (QBO), follow these steps:

1. Create a Real-Time Payments (RfP) File

You’ll first need to create the RfP file in the appropriate format that your bank accepts. Common formats are CSV, XML, or ISO 20022 (PAIN.013).

Example (CSV Format):

plaintext

RequestID,CreditorName,CreditorAccountNumber,DebtorName,DebtorAccountNumber,Amount,Currency,DueDate,Reference

RFP-12345,Acme Corp,123456789,John Doe,987654321,1500.00,USD,2024-09-14,Invoice-98765

Example (ISO 20022 XML Format):

xml

<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.013.001.06">

  <RfpMsg>

    <GrpHdr>

      <MsgId>RF123456789</MsgId>

      <CreDtTm>2024-09-14T08:30:00Z</CreDtTm>

You can generate this file manually or by using a tool such as SecureQBPlugin to integrate with QuickBooks and generate RfP files automatically.

2. Upload the RfP File to Your Business Bank Dashboard

Follow these steps to upload the RfP file into your bank’s payment portal:

  1. Log into your business bank’s online platform.
  2. Navigate to the payment section that allows you to upload payment files. This might be under "Upload Payments," "Batch Upload," or a similar category.
  3. Select the option to upload an RfP file and choose the format your bank supports (e.g., CSV, XML, or ISO 20022).
  4. Upload the file by selecting it from your computer and submitting it.
  5. Validate the file to ensure all details are correct (some banks offer real-time validation).
  6. Submit the request for payment processing.

The bank will process the payment in real-time, and you should be able to monitor the status through your dashboard (e.g., pending, completed, or failed).

3. Download the Payment Report from Your Bank

Once the payment is processed:

  1. Download the payment report from your bank's portal. This report will include the transaction details, including payment confirmation, amount, and date.
  2. The downloaded file will often be in CSV format or another format compatible with accounting systems.

4. Upload the Payment Report into QuickBooks Online (QBO)

After downloading the payment report from your bank, upload it into QuickBooks to reconcile the payments. Follow these steps:

  1. Log into QuickBooks Online.
  2. Go to the Banking section by selecting the “Banking” or “Transactions” tab in the left menu.
  3. Upload the file:
    • Click on the “Upload transactions” button.
    • Browse for the file you downloaded from your bank.
  4. Map the fields: QuickBooks will ask you to map the fields in the uploaded file to the corresponding fields in QuickBooks (e.g., date, amount, account, reference).
  5. Review the imported transactions: QuickBooks will show the transactions and give you a chance to review them.
  6. Categorize and reconcile the transactions: After importing, you can categorize each transaction and reconcile it with your bank statement.

5. Reconcile Transactions

After importing the file, it’s important to reconcile the transactions in QuickBooks. This ensures that the payments you requested through the RfP file are properly reflected in your accounting records.

  • Go to the Reconcile section in QuickBooks Online.
  • Match the payments processed through the bank with the corresponding invoices.
  • Complete the reconciliation to ensure your books are balanced.

Conclusion:

This process allows you to create, upload, and track real-time payment requests from your bank while seamlessly integrating with your QuickBooks system. By using tools like SecureQBPlugin and ensuring your files are in the correct format, you can automate the payment process and keep your books updated in real time.
