Paying vendors by ACH payment

You can pay a vendor by an ACH payment file if the company and vendor have been set up with the required information in both 7-1 Company Information Vendor ACH Payment Setup tab and 4-4 Vendors (Accounts Payable) ACH Payment Setup tab. (Learn how to add this payment information for vendors)

Note: You cannot mix payment types when you use 4-3-2 Pay Vendors, you must do the payment types in groups.

To pay by ACH payment:

  1. Open 4-3-2 Pay Vendors.
    Invoices that you have selected using 4-3-1 Set Invoices to Pay appear in the grid area.
  2. Select invoices to pay that have Yes in the ACH Available column.
  3. Click the Pay by arrow, and then select pay by ACH Payment.
  4. Click [Pay Vendors].
  5. On the Vendor ACH Payment File Creator window, enter the appropriate Transaction Date, Deposit Date, and then click the [Create File] button.
  6. Click the [Save] button to save the direct deposit file.
  7. Click [OK].
  8. Do one of the following:

    • Click [Yes] to print and email the 4-3-7-21 ACH Payment Receipt report.
    • Click [No] to exit.
  9. If you clicked [Yes], click the Print toolbar button.
  10. Click [Yes] to send the emails to those listed for emailing and print the 4-3-7-21 ACH Payment Receipt for those without an email address, or click [No] to send all of the ACH Payment Receipts to the printer.

    Note: If you are sending through Microsoft Outlook and a message is displayed about a program sending an email message on your behalf, click [Allow].

    If you clicked [Yes] in step 10, you can also print the ACH Payment Receipts that were emailed by clicking [Yes] to print the emailed payments receipts, or click [No] to exit, which will just print the ACH payment receipts for those that were not emailed.
