Update EFT Transfer Method on Creditor EFT Details in Microsoft Dynamics GP

Microsoft Dynamics GPI was doing some work with a client recently where we needed to output two different formats of EFT file for the same bank account. This is possible using the EFT Transfer Method on the bank on the creditors. However, with a large number of creditors we needed a way to update the records in bulk. While it would be possible to do this with a macro, it would be fiddly and take a while.

Instead, I created a SQL script which can be run to update the Address Electronic Funds Transfer Master (SY06000) table:

UPDATE ['Address Electronic Funds Transfer Master'] SET EFTTransferMethod = 2 /* 1=Not Specified 2=Business Account 3=Corporate Account 4=Personal Account 5=Foreign Account */ FROM SY06000 AS ['Address Electronic Funds Transfer Master'] WHERE SERIES = 4 AND EFTBankType = 3 /* 2 = Ireland 3 = United Kingdom 26 = Other 1 27 = Other 2 30 = Canada 31 = United States */ GO

The script is currently set up to update only UK banks and to set the EFT Transfer Method to Business Account. The green comments show some of the other values which you can use.

If you use the script, make sure you have a good backup before.
