Pay creditors with EFT

You can use the EFT (Electronic Funds Transferred) section in Agrimaster to manage the bills payable to your creditors, report how much you owe and when your bills are due. You will need to enter the accounts payable into the EFT section first. 

Once you have entered the transactions into EFT, you can pay your creditors. This method allows you to make full or part payments. 

To Make Full Or Part Payments
