The first task to process direct debits is to generate the customer payments and write them into MYOB. DirectDebitsLink uses these customer payments as the content for the ABA file.
DirectDebitsLink allows you to record customer payments into MYOB in bulk.


Before recording the customer payments, you will need to ensure that MYOB is setup correctly. See [[Setting up MYOB AccountRight 19.10 or lower to process direct debits]] for more information.

This feature is not available in DirectDebitsLink Free Edition.


The DirectDebitsink '''Generate Customer Payments to write into MYOB''' screen is broken into 5 steps:
=== Recording customer payments into MYOB Classic using DirectDebitsLink ==

The second step involves refreshing the table of invoices displayed in the lower part of the screen. To filter the invoices, follow these steps.
Alternatively, you can also use the '''All''' or '''None''' button to select or unselect all invoices.
 
# Click on the '''2 - Click here to FILTER invoices ''' button;
# Enter the '''Invoice Date''' cut off. No invoices raised after this date will display. This allows you to exclude future invoices for which you do not want to collect money;
# Select the '''Payment Method''' from the list. This should be the ''Direct Debit'' payment method [[Setting up the direct debits payment method in MYOB AccountRight 19.10 or lower|setup previously]]. You will only see invoices where the payment method of the customer matches the one selected.

The third step involves entering the payment details.
 
# Choose the account into which the money will be deposited in the '''Deposit to Account''' field. This should be your undeposited funds account;
# Enter the '''Payment Date'''. This single date will apply to all customer payments recorded.
# Enter the '''Payment Number'''. This single payment number will apply to all customer payments. Alternatively, you can enter a payment number against a particular invoice using the payment number column '''OR''' leave the fields blank if you want MYOB to generate the payment numbers for you. Leaving the field blank is the recommend approach.
