    Looking for best practice recommendations for Electronic/ACH/Bank Transactions in SAGE 100 v2015. Clients makes payroll tax deposits, Line of Credit paydown, Line of Credit borrowing, Eurocredit loans and other interest payments and interest income transactions. Which module A/P, G/L or B/R is the best way to capture these transaction to make sure they are posted BOTH in Bank Reconciliation and General Ledger. I believe that all three modules talk to each other.

    Manual checks/wire transfers? That hits all three.

    I usually encourage users to use AP manual checks and/or cash receipts as well.

    Bank Rec is ""ok"" if the transaction hits a single general ledger account. If the payment needs to be recorded as Principal and Interest, then BR is not a good choice. Manual Check / Wire Transfer is a good choice for these types of transactions.

    Tough one as to which is ""best"". For the longest time, I always recommended printing a real check for these types of payments. The reason for this was to create a process that flowed with the AP cycle. Yes, a check would be ""wasted"", but that 'cost"" was a lot less than the cost of the time spent doing the one offs. With wire transfer option in manual check entry, you can save a little time, but you are still entering the same information but not burning a check. I explain both options but try to guide them to the AP entry, then cutting checks once a week during the regular AP run. Just don't mail the check.
