Running the Lock Box Import Wizard

Follow these steps to import a lock box text file that is in the appropriate format into an Aptify Cash Control Batch:

1. Create or open a view of the Cash Control Batches service.
2. Click the Lock Box Import Wizard icon in the view toolbar to launch the wizard.
   
   
3. Review the Welcome screen information and click Next to continue.
   
    
4. Click the ellipsis (...) button to launch the Open File dialog box, and locate the lock box text file to be imported. Click Next to continue once the file is selected.
   
   
5. If applicable, select a payment type and click Next to continue.
   • Depending on the format of your organization's lock box file, payment type information may already reside in the file. In this case, you can select the Read From File option, and each cash receipt will have its own Payment Type specified in its corresponding Cash Detail record. Otherwise, select the payment type (such as Pre-Paid Check) that applies to all cash receipts referenced within the file. Contact your system administrator if you need assistance.
     
     
6. Click Next to import the cash receipt information from the specified file.
   1. The wizard creates a new Cash Control Batches record to import the cash receipts into Aptify. See About the Cash Control Batches Form for information on the fields displayed on a Cash Control Batches record.
