How to record and batch print a remittance advice to vendors paid by ACH

You are paying vendors by ACH or EFT and need to record in Sage BusinessWorks and send your vendor a Remittance Advice.

• If you wish to distinguish your ACH vendors from your vendors paid by check you will need to set up your Vendors with an ID that represents ACH or EFT vendors by renaming the ACH vendors with a starting letter, number or symbol that represents your ACH vendors. This can be handy when using the Automatic Invoice Selection process to select only your ACH vendors or Regular Vendors. (For example. If your current vendor ID is ABC and you want to distinguish this vendor as an ACH vendor you could use the rename feature in AP, Vendors, Maintain Vendors to rename the vendor ID with a leading character such as Z ACH. Then when selecting only ACH vendors in Automatic Invoice Selection you would select a range of vendors beginning with Z.)
• Customize a Check Form to use as your Remittance Advice for your ACH Vendors. AP, Checks, Print Checks, and select the form you wish to use as a template. Select the Edit button and add a label to read REMITTANCE ADVICE ONLY or VOID or your desired text. See How to create or edit custom forms for instructions and a video on editing forms.
• Select your ACH vendors to pay in AP, Checks, Invoice Selection, Automatic or Manual. Select your range of ACH vendors and select the invoices to pay.
• Print the checks in AP, Checks, Print Checks. Select your printer and select your customized ACH Remittance Advice and print to blank paper. NOTE: You may wish to use unique check numbering for the Remittance Advice to keep separate from your regular checks.
