Thanks for getting back to us, @Master99.
You can read more about it here once you have downloaded the file from Quickbiooks you can then upload it to your bank and the bank would then set up the payments.
Yes, you're right, QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll has an option to make payments electronically from one bank account to another through BACS. To be clear the payment is still done and set up through your bank but you can download the payment file and pass it to your bank. You'll just have to set up your payment file settings. Let me guide you how:
- From the left menu, select Payroll.
- Select the Payroll Settings tab, then select Payment Settings.
- Select Add to set up a bank account you'll use to pay your employees.
-
- File Format (either standard BACS format or bank-specific)
- Sort Code
- Account Number
- Account Name
- Submission Reference (description of the payroll payment appears on your employee’s bank statement)
- Service User Number (SUN)
4. Click Save.
Once done, you can now download your payment file. However, if you haven't set a pay run, you can check out this article: Create a New Pay Run on QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll. Then proceed to your payment file, here's how:
- From the left menu, select Payroll.
- Select the Pay Runs tab, then select the pay period you need.
- In the Actions tab, select the Download Payment File ▼ dropdown menu.
- If you have a single payment file, select Download Payment File.
- If you have multiple payment files, select ⚙ Payment File Settings, then select a payment file to use.
Once everything is set up, you can now choose what payment file settings to use every time you run payroll.
I'd also like to share these articles that allow users to download the BACS file for a specific finalised pay run and links to some of our help and guide articles:
