Direct Deposit options available in Sage 100 Payroll module:

• Direct Deposit: Prior to March 31, 2016, Sage 100 Direct Deposit was a separate module that was required to be purchased separately. As of April 1, 2016, Direct Deposit is now included when you sign up for or renew a Sage 100 Payroll Subscription Business Care plan. There is nothing additional that needs to be installed. When you purchase your Payroll Subscription plan, you will be given new product keys that will activate features available with Payroll Subscription plan. When using the basic direct deposit feature, you must format the Direct Deposit Interface file per your bank's ACH file layout requirements, you generate your Payroll direct deposit interface (.ach) file from within Sage 100 payroll module and Sage 100 creates an .ACH file, which is saved on your server. Then you must manually upload the ACH file to your bank (works the same as it exists today for customers who already own the Payroll Direct Deposit module). This feature is available in Sage 100 versions 4.30 and higher. See related article below; How to setup Direct Deposit for Employee's in Payroll.

• Sage 100 Direct Deposit "Service":  Sage 100 Direct Deposit Services feature is only available in Sage 100 versions 2015 PU4+ and 2016 and higher. Currently, this service is free, with the exception of ancillary fees, for example return items, NSF & Reversal fees. You must FIRST apply and submit an application to use this service for EACH Sage 100 company code you want to setup to use this direct deposit service. You generate your Payroll direct deposit ACH file from within Sage 100, which is then synchronized and transmitted to Sage Payroll who will submit your Payroll ACH file to your bank for you. This will eliminate the need to set up payroll direct deposit interface file to be formatted correctly for your banks ACH layout requirements and you will not need to manually upload your ACH file to your bank or manually key in direct deposit entries on your bank's website. Which will ultimately save you time by simplifying and reducing your payroll processing time. See related article below, How to setup Direct Deposit Service in Sage 100.
