Create a new account
You will want to create a new account. Click on File>New Account
Then, "Create"
In the software, you can set up several accounts (databases)--one for each bank account or entity. To flip back and forth between accounts, you'll click on the blue 'File' tab, and then click on the account showing in the white space.
Note: Desktop and Workgroup (SQL Express) users will be able to create an account, however Enterprise (SQL Server) users may need permission/assistance from their IT department.
NOTE: If you would like to setup using SQL Express or SQL Server to share a centralized database, the workstation (client) will need to 'migrate' to the SQL backend before an account is created.
Request your Bank's Express Code by contacting our support department
What is a Bank Express Code?
Treasury Software has a library of over 300 positive pay layouts for banks across the U.S. and Canada.
Each layout has a number - a Bank Express Code - that enables you to quickly and easily format your positive pay file in accordance with your bank's specifications.
As many banks have more than one layout/format, we ask that you send us the format information you received from your bank.
Entering your Bank Express Code
Once you've received your Bank Express Code from Treasury Software Support, you may enter it into the software by clicking on Setup. Then enter the code into the "Bank Code" field and click Update Bank Information.
Importing and transmitting your Outstanding Check list (or approximation)
Before you start sending your issued checks on a regular basis to your bank - we recommend that you create a list of all of your outstanding checks. This will minimize your exceptions at the bank (and also minimize your bank fees, as many banks charge per exception).
What if we don't keep an Outstanding check list?
Simply use a check register that lists all issued/cut checks for the past 30 days. This should cover most checks outstanding.
If you've exported the list to Excel or a csv file, follow the same instructions below for importing Excel and csv files.
If you're using QuickBooks or QuickBooks online and want to go back 30 days - follow the instructions below - and when selecting the 'FROM' date, select a date at least 30 days in the past.
