If you select "Use Remittance Advice Password" option on the Payroll Tab, the password is used to save a copy of the PDF payslips.
However, the pdf attached to payroll emails (both payslips and remittance advice) only has a password if you send emails through EFT SMTP and you have configured A/P Email Server or Payroll Email server details in EFT Options. Attached PDF files don't have a password when using Sage SMTP Server or Outlook.
EFT Processing Remittance Advice Report Formats
EFT Processing includes default remittance advice Crystal Reports in the ELxxA>ENG folder.
Note: If you need to amend the reports, you can use Sage 300 Customization Directories.

EFT Processing installs with the following A/P remittance advice formats, with different payment formulas:
-
ELPAY01 – payment date is based on the date when the EFT file was created/generated.
-
ELPAY02 – payment date is based on the Batch Date.
-
ELPAY03 – payment date is based on the Batch Entry Date.
-
ELPAY05 – payment date is based on the effective date selected when the EFT file was created/generated. This only applies if the EFT format you use supports effective date.
EFT Processing installs with the following A/R remittance formats:
For A/R Receipts
-
ELREC01 – payment date is based on the date when the EFT File was created/generated.
-
