DDCMS Direct introduces a streamlined and secure way to upload BACS payment files directly within the system.
You can upload a file to the system through the use of CSV spreadsheet files (.csv) or text files (.txt).
📌Note: Only users with the 'Can Upload' permission will see the 'Upload a New File' button on the right-hand side of the Outgoing Files screen. Users without this permission will not see the button, ensuring secure and role-based access to file submission functionality.
📌Note: Before uploading your file, you'll see a clear warning on the import screen. This warning is just to inform you about automatic processing and it won’t stop your files from being uploaded or processed.
📌Note: DDCMS Direct now enforces a single‑client scope for the entire file upload process, ensuring all validations and selections, such as SUNs, bank accounts, and processing dates, apply only to the chosen client. If the user changes scope mid‑process, they are prompted to return to the original client to continue.
