Sage 100

Customer has 50 employees with garnishments. Currently, payroll gives a list of the employee, amount and agency to AP and AP cuts the check. Problem is, AP doesn't always get it right. So, the question is; Is there a more elegant way to handle this? Enhancements?

Maybe I'm simplifying it too much but can't you have Payroll give AP a spreadsheet (or something similar) with the data to be imported into AP Invoice Entry.

Yes, they could do that or create repetitive invoices in AP. But the goal is to take out the human factor if possible. Other payroll systems have the ability to create checks for payroll taxes, garnishments, etc. So, short of changing systems, any ways to add automation?

Don't hire people with garnishments????

@JeffSchwenk you made my day. This reminds me of a client I once had that paid a lot of bills for their workers, on top of garnishments. This is the South and masters and their slaves lives on in our conscience. Anyway, the PR person called once to say she didn't get checks for two 'boys' and could I figure out why. Turns out she'd over withheld to the point of causing the net check to go negative. Sorry. I know this is seriously off track.

@JaneCavanaugh you might use VI to create a file that could be the source for a VI import. Maybe use deduction codes to use a VLOOKUP to get the Vendor ID.

PR-1064 Tax and Deduction Liability Check Generation - would probably help

@JeffSchwenk - would be great but almost not possible in NM, the state goes after dead-beat parents for child support. @NicholeRonchetti - thank you, looking into it.

See if those vendors for garnishments have online pay, then the PR person could do them and the AP person could do manual checks for the wires.The data would be stored online accurately and you would only have to submit payment and a payment date.
