Paying the bills is a process that enables you to either Bank your items and shift them to your record of transactions, Upload to internet banking, or Print cheques.

Bank items and shift to transactions

After choosing this option you need to choose a date when your transactions are to be banked.  Click on the downward pointing arrow and make your selection from the calendar displayed, or simply type in a date.  Once you have made your selection, the following screen will be displayed.

You need to select the unbanked receipts on the left hand side of the screen which you wish to move to your transactions.  When you have completed your selections which are made by ticking the box next to your choice click the Just transfer to transaction list at the bottom of the screen.

Upload to internet banking

The Upload to internet banking option requires a little more input on the opening screen.

As with the previous option you still need to choose a date transactions are banked, but this time you also need to choose a file name which will be created for later import into your internet banking program.  By default, MISTRO Finance 5 saves these files in your NETBANK folder of MISTRO Finance 5.  You can simply choose to overwrite any previously created file by choosing the same file name every time you run the process, or you may prefer to keep these files as individual records.  In this case you will need to change the file name to one of your preference.

You can also enter a reference which will later appear in your internet banking program.

Once you have made your choices on this screen you should click Save, and the following screen will be displayed.

As was the case with the previous option, you need to select the unbanked receipts on the left hand side of the screen which you wish to bank and export to the internet.  When you have completed your selections which are made by ticking the box next to your choice click the Bank transactions and export to internet at the bottom of the screen.

After doing this the confirmation screen is displayed.

You can view and print a report of your activity by choosing Yes on the confirmation screen.
