[freeside] PAP questions...

[Rob Charles]

Thanks for your help, I did notice all seemed to go ok when an extra digit
was entered... I will simply add the extra "0" in front of the bank name
number.... thanks a bunch....

But I still have this problem of the batch processing... where as I run
this...
freeside-daily -p CHEK rob

Ivan??

But I still do not see the table "cust_batch_pay"  populated with the PAP
info for the client?
And he does owe us money(well in my test world anyways)

If I figure it out I will be sure to post my results....

Maybe Alan you should post your extra "0" to the FAQ or something with an
example so that other Canadians will know what to do?

Or maybe we should have a FAQ to deal with Specific Canadian problems with
respect to PAP and credit card processors and gateways, that we can use with
FreeSide?

Thanks once again...
