Sage 100

Setting up ACH payments for AP for a client. In ACH Interface Maintenance, there is a field labeled ""Standard Entry Class"". The help files give you 3 choices. Their bank instructed them to choose ""CCD"" if paying businesses or ""PPD"" if paying Individuals. Our client would like to pay some of each. I wonder if it's possible. Has anyone run into this requirement?

Ok, dug deeper. You can set a default, but this field also exists in Vendor Maintenance. By the way, if you have a mix of CCD and PPD vendors, 2 ACH files get generated. In case you were wondering.

Barbara, how does this work? Do you need to leave the Standard Entry Class blank to make it generate two files?

in ACH Interface Maintenance? I don't recall the conversation where I learned about this (probably a call to Sage Support), but I suspect it reads the value configured in Vendor Maintenance during payment or file generation process and creates a file for each Standard Entry Class value. If there is no class value defined in Vendor Maint, it looks to ACH Maint. for a value.

Unfortunately two batches get created which sometimes means extra fees for clients whose banks charge a fee for each batch. Good for the banks. Still cheaper overall than paper checks.

Thanks! I tested this with the Standard Entry Class blank in setup, but completed in my two vendors and I got two files with no additional changes.
