EFT Prenote Files and Addenda lines

  • EFT Prenote Files and Addenda lines

    Posted by Howard Blitstein on November 24, 2025 at 1:08 pm

    All of a sudden, our EFT prenote generation process is creating two 705 Addenda lines for every actual prenote. This process and EFT Fornat ID that is used has been running without issue for years. This format was setup years ago, not by me but I am a bit perplexed what could happen. So the output file looks something like this

    Header line xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Detail Vendor xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    705

    705

    Detail Vendorxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    705

    705

    Not sure where to look as to what has changed.

    Thanks

    Good Morning,

    I’m not sure if this has been answered elsewhere as I do see this is an older post, but I wanted to touch base.

    A few questions for you:

    1.) Is this happening all the time or sporadically?

    2.) Do you see any consistency in it only happening to certain vendors?

    3.) If #2 is yes, you might check items 2 and 3 in the common causes notes below as it may be related to vendor set up.

    Some of the more common causes can include:

    1.) Pad Blocks – check to see if your bank requires padding. If not, uncheck the box. Not sure why this would suddenly cause an issue, but it’s something to look into.

    2.) Check to see if the multiple addenda records box got marked in the EFT File Format Maintenance window. Marking this option will include all addenda lines with the detail file. If it is unmarked, it should only include one addenda line which it sounds like what you want.

    3.) Check your vendor settings. Having a vendor set to One Payment per Invoice or per Vendor. Having multiple invoices/payments for a vendor in a single go can cause some issues if not properly set up throughout.

    Does that make sense? let me know if you have any questions or there is anything more I can do to assist.

    Thanks,

    Samantha Walter
