  • 1.  Can AP Manual Check Entry Send to ACH?

    Posted 12-03-2019 12:12
    I have a customer on Sage 100cloud 2018 Premium.
    They are in the process of adopting ACH payments for AP

    Previously they would pay their salespeople in advance of recording an invoice for commissions.

    This worked for them because they would enter a non-existing invoice during manual check entry and it would show on their AP aging as overpaid ( they were advised of the capability to transfer commissions from AR to AP vendor and state they prefer to advance pay commissions).

    Now they are moving to ACH/electronic payments for AP and they would like to submit the payments for the commissions in the same manner ( in advance and without having an existing AP invoice to pay against) and to have these payments sent through ACH / electronic payments.

    Sage KB seems ambiguous as to whether a "Check" written in AP Manual Check Entry will go through ACH/electronic payment. 

    Has anyone dealt with this before and if so what was your solution? 

    I realize you can send a WIRE transfer through ACH however I do not believe this generates the ACH/electronic payment file and is primarily a manual after-the-fact type transaction.

    I would tend to think NOT unless you had some type of mod to allow this.  Why not just enter an invoice via AP entry, then pay via ACH?  BTW, what GL account are they coding the payment to (AP?)?  It seems like the same amount of work either way.

    I have the same thought and advised they should enter an AP invoice for approval and then if they need to adjust they could enter another invoice. I think it's a case of they've always done it this way and want to keep doing it this way even when another method might not be any more work.
