PAC - BPay Parameters (SU)
Overview
The BPay Parameters program is used to set up and maintain your school's B-Pay system. These defaults are required to be set up before any B-Pay related programs can be utilised. Once you indicate through this program that you will be enabling the B-Pay system, TASS will create a B-Pay number for each Parent Account.
Be sure you are fully conversant with these setups prior to saving when first setting up your school data.
Important!
Be aware that ALL records attached to these fields will be affected if changes are made to an existing setup. It is not a good idea to make a change to these parameters unless you are 100% sure of the outcome.
The program will operate in a viewing only mode until you select the 'Edit' button.

Important!
Each bank has a different file specification for BPay. TASS.web provides an upload facility for the four major Australian Banks — Commonwealth, National Australia Bank, ANZ and Westpac.
Before you start the BPay system, you will need to contact your bank. If your bank requires information on how TASS.web calculates the check digit on the parent (account) BPay reference number. The algorithm that TASS.web uses is a modulus 10.

There are many different BPAY check digit routines available. The check digit routine that TASS uses is ‘MOD10V04’.
If you're setting up BPay for the first time in TASS: advise your bank of the check digit routine as soon as possible. Send the bank this document which will provide them with a sample list of BPAY numbers.
If you currently use BPAY, advise parents that they will receive a new BPAY reference number.
