Lumary WFM - This article explains how to create a payment file.
After the pay advice has been created, you are now ready to create a payment file to be sent to the bank.
Note that the pay batch remains locked. It can be unlocked but only before the payment file is downloaded. Please read and follow the steps below carefully. While locked, any further adjustments will be picked up in future pay batches.

This article assumes that you have already created pay advice. If you have not completed those steps, head over to create pay advice.
- Click Create Payment File.
- Once completed, a pop up message stating The Payment File Creation process has been completed successfully will appear. The status of the pay batch will be updated to Payment File Created.
- Click the Payment File tab.
- Click the drop-down arrow on a Payment File row.
If you would like to make an adjustment after the payment file has been created and and would like the adjustment to be a part of this pay batch, you must undo the steps by clicking Delete Payment File, then Delete Pay Advice, and finally Unfinalise Pay Batch. If you do not undo the steps, any adjustments made as part of this pay batch will be picked up in the next pay batch.
- Click Print as PDF to view the payment file as a pdf.
Please consider carefully before downloading the payment file as it will lock down the pay batch and can no longer be unlocked. While locked, any further adjustments will be picked up in future pay batches.
- If you wish to download the payment file, click Download. A pop up confirming if you want to download the payment file will display.
- Click on the Continue button. The status of the payment file is updated to Released. Once all related payment files to a pay batch have a status of Released, the status of the pay batch is updated to Payment File Released.
