In the Payment File Type field, select one of the following:
■ EFT – for vendor payments and customer refunds

■ Positive Pay – for creating Positive Pay files

In the Bank File Template field, enter the template body using FreeMarker syntax. If the SuiteTax feature is provisioned in your account, enter the template body in the SuiteTax Bank File Template field

Including Fields from NetSuite Search Results in Advanced Templates

NetSuite search result columns can be accessed in payment files using the <single_result_keyword>.<column_id> notation.

#OUTPUT START#

<#list payments as payment>

<#assign entity = entities[payment_index] >

<#assign ebank = ebanks[payment_index] >

***

Amount: ${payment.amount}

Address: ${entity.billaddress1}

Bank Num: ${ebank. custrecord_2663_entity_bank_no}
