This article will develop over time, and should provide insight and guidance when troubleshooting failed ABA Banking File imports into banking systems for Australian banks.



ABA Banking Files follow a standard format accepted by most Australian banks. However; at this point in time we have very few sites using this system and cannot access testing systems for all banks; therefore we have a limited capacity to test for all scenarios.

This article is a living document that will be added to over time.



Known Errors:


NAB Bank



Error Description: Error in uploaded file, line too small





Cause / Fix: Upon receiving this error, you should view the original file. In this instance we could visually identify one line that looked to have fewer characters in the bank account number field than the others. By other details on that line we could identify the affected supplier, and then checked Synergy to find that the bank account number for this supplier was incorrect and missing a number. Once this was corrected in the software, the import worked successfully.
