Sage 100

Recurring wire transfers / payments to vendors"" Client is rather surprised that MAS 90/200 (Sage 100) doesn't have the ability to process recurring wire transfers / payments to vendors, rather than having to key each one in every month via Manual Check Entry. Many of these are the same dollar amounts each month (e.g., car payments) but others like Utilities have a different amount each month so ideally they'd want the option to override the amount. She says that QB has ""Memorize Transactions"" to handle this. They're running 4.40.0.6 so I suggested using the included ACH Vendor Payments functionality (with A/P Repetitive Invoice Entry), but she said they already have all these automatic payments/wire transfers set up with each vendor/web site. So the only other options I could come up with was maybe using A/P Repetitive Invoice Entry and regular Check Printing with a separate check # sequence, or using Visual Integrator to import these monthly payments into Manual Check Entry. Can anyone think of any other options?

As you say, repetitive invoice selection and regular check printing is the best way to go. Print the check but don't mail it. Just place in the bank reconciliation file for end of month processing. If you want to get fancy, set up a UDF check box that indicates Electronic payment. Then modify the Crystal form so that if this flag is present, a text box will appear that indicates that it was electronically paid and do not mail. Instead of a check box, you could create a 20 character UDF so they can put the confirmation number and have that print on the check. I'm sure you will get push back on ""wasting check stock"" which is so much more important that the time they are wasting. For the bank reconciliation, just clear these checks..............

I like your idea @JeffSchwenk!
