You can search for templates by selecting a Payment Group, Template Status, Template ID, entering all or part of the Payee/Payor name or Cross Reference or selecting an Agreement ID and clicking on the Search button. The results will be displayed on the lower half of the screen. By clicking on the appropriate column heading, you can sort the list of templates by Template ID, Payment Group, Payee/Payor.

An EFT payment template will have one of the following statuses:
Entered	The template is to be pre-approved up to the amount specified in the Pre-Approved Amount column, however, the template has not yet been approved.
Approval 1	The template is to be pre-approved up to the amount specified in the Pre-Approved Amount column and has received on approval, but must be approved by at least one additional user.
Approval 2	The template is to be pre-approved up to the amount specified in the Pre-Approved column and has received two approvals, but must be approved by an additional user.
Ready	A status of ‘Ready’ means the template has received the required number of approvals. Any payments created with the template that are within the specified Pre-Approved limit will not require approval before they can be sent to the Bank. Note: Payments that exceed the pre-approval limit will require the appropriate number of approvals before they can be sent to the Bank.
Inactive	This template has been flagged as ‘Temporarily Inactive’ on the EFT Payment Template Details screen. Until the flag is removed, the template will not be available to create EFT payments.

You can view/print the details of an individual EFT payment template by clicking the Payee/Payor name to access the EFT Payment Template Details screen.
