To demonstrate how to process batch payments via ABA files. ABA files are used by the Australian banks to make on or more bank transactions in a single batch.
Australian Banking Association (ABA) files are used to bulk load transactions at Australian Banks. An ABA module is provided with Odoo and will need to be installed to follow the process below.
