Repay Click to Pay Error

  • 1.  Repay Click to Pay Error

    Posted 07-25-2023 20:34

    After a user runs the Sales Journal, the message in the screen shot below appears.  Brittany of Repay said that the reason the message appears is because an email address is not entered in Sales Order Invoice Data Entry (This email address defaults from Customer Maintenance).  She said the only way to get rid of this pop up message is either to, 1.  Enter an email address in Customer Maintenance so that it flows into the Sales Order Invoice, or 2. Disable Click to Pay for the customer.

    The two options to fix the issue don't make sense to me.  Why would we need to put in an email address in Customer Maintenance/ Sales Order Invoice Entry when we already have email addresses populated in Paperless Office.  The email addresses that are in Paperless Office are what is used to email the invoice with the Click to Pay link on it.

    If we had to enter an email address for every customer in Customer Maintenance we would have to import tens of thousands of email addresses, and these email addresses are not even used to email the invoices.  So… what's the point?

    Below is a screen shot of the message:

    Any chance she means the email address field on the payments tab?  Isn't there a setup option field that controls enabling this action?

    Yes @Jeff Schwenk  It is possible she means the payments tab.  We upgraded from Sage 100 version 2019 and an older APS version to 2022 and the most recent Repay version about a month ago.  Since the upgrade, every time the sales journal is printed the error screen pops up noting there are entries in the error log to review.  The error log shows missing email addresses.  If there is a setup option, I don;t know where it is, and apparently neither does Brittany because I have asked her about this several times.  I sent an email to Nicole Benitez yesterday and trying to get someone else involved that can explain this.

    I have had the same error and had to populate the customers email in customer maintenance to get around the error. My customer also uses the paperless email addresses so it didnt make sense to me as well but I assumed it was some flawed logic with Repay code and it would take a difficult and lengthy battle to get them to change so I  just did it because in my case I didn't have a lot of them to populate.  I have had lots of issues with Repay and slow responses for them to fix. Brittany is the best support person at Repay that I have worked with.

    Thank you @Kelley Johnson.  It's good to know that my customer isn't the only one experiencing this issue.  It seems to me to be a bug... beyond sloppy programming.  So far, Repay's position is it is working as designed, even though it didn't work this way in the old APS version.

    I believe the code should check the AR_CustomerDocumets.UseEmailAddressInDataEntry$ AND AR_CustomerDocumets.UseCustomerEmailAddress$ to determine where to check for an email address.  It appears the code simply check the AR_Customer.EmailAddress$ and if it's blank or null it writes an error.

    I had a Teams meeting with several of the Repay employees this morning.  They are going to make changes to the program to look at the Paperless Office files: Additional Email Addresses that have a Recipient Code of "To", else if, look to see if the check box is checked for Use Customer Email Address.  I later thought they should probably be checking for customer contacts also.  My customer doesn't use the customer contacts for paperless so it doesn't apply to them but of course the hole should be plugged anyway.  It's not perfect but definitely an improvement from only looking at AR_Customer.EmailAddress.

    Technically there are four spots they should check:

    • UseEmailAddressInDataEntry, checkbox in AR_CustomerDocuments (i.e. the invoice's email address field).
    • UseCustomerEmailAddress, checkbox in AR_CustomerDocuments (i.e. the customer's email address).
    • ToAdditionalEmailAddress from AR_CustomerDocumentContacts (i.e. addresses added manually through Paperless settings).
    • Contact email addresses linked through AR_CustomerDocumentContacts

    I think we should tell Repay that multiple people have reported this and are actively discussing it as a bug and see whether there's a change they can make.

    I just received a call from Nicole at repay.  We have a Teams meeting scheduled for 8am CST on Friday.  Apparently there are several members of the Repay team that will be in the meeting.  I will report back with any pertinent information that results from the meeting.

    Sage's data object design for Paperless is HORRIBLE and I doubt any programmer who does not know Sage 100 really well will have much luck figuring it out...

    Yes @Phil McIntosh.  There are four or five tables where the data can exist. 

    What's perplexing is that Repay didn't seem to use the code process that APS did.  It's like they gave up and decided to just check the customer master for an email address and if it didn't exist report an error.
