The EFT Option “Use Remittance Advice Password” on the AR tab comes into effect when emailing Customer remittance advices.
Use of this option will allow for Remittance Advice PDFs to be encrypted before being emailed, with either one or two passwords: Master and/or User.
Use of the User Password in the EFT Customer record:
-
If a password has been entered in the EFT Customer’s Remittance Password field, then this password will be applied to the remittance PDF document.
-
If a password has not been entered in the EFT Customer’s Remittance Password field, then the EFT Options \ AR Password Formula will be used to generate a Customer-specific password to be applied to the remittance PDF document.
-
If no password formula exists for either of those fields, then the PDF document will not be encrypted.
Use of the Master Password in EFT Options \ AR Tab:
The Master Password is an optional password that can be applied during the encryption of a remittance PDF document, in addition to the User Password (generated as per the rules described above). It not necessary for the encryption of a PDF document. The rules are:
-
If a User Password and Master Password both exist, then encryption of the PDF document will take place using both passwords.
-
If a User Password exists, but no Master Password exists, then encryption of the PDF document will still take place, using the User Password only.
-
If no User Password exists, then no encryption of the PDF document will take place, whether or not a Master Password exists.
