Sage 100

Is there an integrated solution for processing payments to vendors using a credit card? Sage's solution is all about processing customer payments and deposits with a credit card, but I'm not aware of anything for paying vendors. Anyone?

What type of integration are you looking for? There is the manual process of processing the vendor invoice as usual then transferring it to the CC vendor account for payment. v2016 is much more friendly than prior versions.

try zevez.com. Ask for Celia Moreno if possible. She'll remember me (and won't hang up on you when she does...)

To directly pay the invoices with a credit card - just like you can process a cash receipt with a credit card. That's the kind of solution I'm inquiring about.

Interesting. Thanks Jerry.

Thanks @JerryNorman - I will look into this!

@JerryNorman have you used this product at a customer?

Let me know what you think of it. We had a customer a few yrs ago use them. Zevez actively integrated to Sage systems.

Thanks Jerry, I will. I'm excited that there is actually a solution! I appreciate your quick response.

I recently implemented a workaround for that using the standard Sage 100 A/P ACH functionality. Basically, to be able to instruct certain vendors to hit the client's AMEX, we created a separate Bank Code, we set the Vendors up as Elec Pmt, entered in bogus Elec Pmt credentials for each Vendor because we're not actually paying via ACH plus that info is required for successful ACH processing, created an 'AMEX ACH' UDF in Vendor Maint to flow to the Invoice so that it's easily determinable via Invoice Pmt Selection which invoices are AMEX ACH (because the client needs to do them separately from their true/real ACH's they perform), then perform Check Printing for ACH which e-mails the Vendors the attached customized ACH Remittance upon updating the Check Register (and we don't do anything with the generated ACH file).

@BrettZimmerman very creative - I like it! Thanks for sharing.

And this thread contains the steps for getting the Vendor UDF to flow thru to the Invoice, and then be able to appropriately customize the Invoice Payment Selection screen. https://90minds-com.socialcast.com/messages/17663276

I just took a look at the Zevez website, and contacted them for addt'l info (spoke with Celia). Sage 100 specific demo can be found at https://www.zevez.com/home/default.demo.asp. This solution leverages the Sage 100 A/P Credit Card Vendor functionality and requires Visual Integrator (of which they provide the VI Jobs). The [Integration Req's](https://www.zevez.com/products-and-services/software-integration-requirements.asp) page shows ""3.71 - 5.0"" but I found out it works with the latest and greatest v2016. ""Pricing is $1,498 a year after the First Year Free! This includes annual vendor assessments, installing configuring and training all staff on the software, any computer stations up and running, per database and on demand support and service"". Attached is some addt'l info.

Thanks again for the info @BrettZimmerman. I had gone to the website so far but hadn't made the phone call yet to inquire. Much appreciated!

So @BrettZimmerman is the pricing $ 0 for the first year and $1,498 each additional year?

@BrettZimmerman - Could you not modify the selection panel to display the terms code? The just pick those vendors paid with the CC term code?

Celia just called me and clarified that the first year is free if you use American Express as the credit card to pay your invoices, because Amex basically covers that first year fee. You can use other credit card types, but then you pay the $1498 for the first year. At this juncture there is no integration with a payment processor; it is only a facility to record the payment of invoices, send payment advice documents, etc. , but she indicated that next year there might be an integration with a payment processor.

@JeffSchwenk, I'm guessing you could probably do that.

I am still missing something. @BrettZimmerman - Are you actually paying AMEX with your process or just getting them out of the vendor aging, then entering a voucher to AMEX and cutting a check for the amount that you put into the clearing GL account?

@JaneScanlan Wouldn't be too surprising if Sage was onto this as well. Seems like a natural integration for SPS

@JeffSchwenk, no, we are not paying AMEX with this process. We're basically faking out the Sage 100 system that we're paying these invoices via ACH when in reality the process e-mails instructions (i.e., custom ACH Remittance) to the Vendor for them to hit the client's credit card. But yes, this gets the invoices off the Aging, and the client will enter invoices as applicable against the AMEX vendor for the balance(s) in the G/L Clearing account, and then cut check to AMEX when applicable.

Gotcha

Funny.. a customer inquired about using ""P-Cards"" last week perfect timing.

YAY for 90minds!

Just got a call about this from a client, they are looking at Comdata for this www.comdata.com - anyone out there using them?

We have had a client using Zevez for a few years. I think we have gone through two upgrades with them and all has gone well. You just need to give them a little lead time on when you plan to upgrade so they can do their part.

I just got a call from a sales guy wanting me to pitch Comdata. Any updates on this functionality, solution as a whole, and value to our clients?
