Direct payments - How do I add an invoicing group to the direct payment file?

Use the menu Transactions>Invoicing Group Management.        

When creating your invoicing group, click on the small blank square in the column "ACH?" to have that specific account put into the direct payment file. 

Naturally, you can't click that choice if the account holder does not participate to the direct payment system (if the check mark indicating his choice is not selected in his profile - menu "Info>Owner, tab "Electronic Payment" option "This owner uses direct payment to pay his common charges".

This way, you can have accounts participating to the direct payment system, and within the same group, have some other accounts paying differently.  You are not forced to create two groups (one for those paying by direct payments and another one for those paying by checks or cash).

As far as the file has not been generated, you can add direct payments to it, even if there are payments already included in the file.
