Follow these steps to set up your ABA file settings in Myaccountant:

1. Click the menu icon (three dots) in the top-right corner of your dashboard and select Settings.
2. From the side menu, select Bank Details.
3. Enter your business bank account information:
   
   • Account Name
   • BSB
   • Account Number
   • Bank Name
4. Enter your Financial Institution Code (this is provided by your bank).
5. Under Lodgement Reference, type "Payroll".
6. Enter your APCA User ID (also provided by your bank - required to generate ABA files).
7. Select the appropriate Transaction Code. For most Australian banks, the standard code is 53 (for payroll/wages).
8. Tick Include Self-Balancing Transaction if your bank requires it.
9. Click Save to complete your ABA setup.

Important: Make sure all employees have their bank account details entered under their profiles - otherwise, their payments won't be included in the ABA file.

Useful Tips:

• Contact your bank if you're unsure about your APCA ID or whether you need a self-balancing transaction.
• Double-check employee bank details before generating the ABA file.
• You can download the ABA file from the Pay Run summary page after processing payroll.
