Pre-notes are zero-dollar transaction that is transmitted and processed to ensure you have the proper information for your bank for transmission, as well as having the proper information for the other party. In other words, a pre-notification is a test transaction sent before the transmission of live data..
To create a pre-note using QuickBooks can easily be done by following the steps below:
From the main menu select QuickBooks the select QuickBooks Integration.
Then you need to select the the Utilities tab and then make sure the Prenote tab is selected.
Then you will want to select which item you want to send a pre-note for, either Customers, Employees or Vendors. Now you can send one group or all 3, it is up to you. Once you make your choice select Display List.
In our example we chose to do just employees.
Select the Name you want to send the pre-note for, see the red arrow in the example. Then select Send pre-notes to ACH Universal button.
Once you select Send pre-notes to ACH Universal your file is created and you can send it to the bank. (See the example of what a pre-note will look like)
