About 4-3-2 Pay Vendors

Use the 4-3-2 Pay Vendors window to print checks, vouchers, and lien waivers for payable invoices. You can also pay by ACH payment or print zero dollar checks.

If you paid a vendor by credit card, bank transfer, or manual check (not using Sage 100 Contractor), you can record the transaction in Sage 100 Contractor without needing to create an ACH file, or print a check that you will then need to destroy because the payment has already been made outside the application.

In addition to printing regular, single-party checks, you can print two-party checks with a secondary payee. When working with secondary payees, the grid displays the secondary payee name appended to the vendor, along with the word “and.” This is similar to the way the payee appears on the printed check.

After selecting invoices to pay (using the 4-3-1 Select Invoices to Pay window), when you open the 4-3-2 Pay Vendors window, the selected vendors appear in the grid . When you select the Payee checkbox for a vendor, the program displays the amount in the Total Selected for Payment box.

To specify a method of payment, you can select Check, Voucher, or ACH Payment from the Pay now by list.

To record a payment made outside Sage 100 Contractor, you can select Credit Card, Online Banking, or Manual Check from the Record payment made by list.

To change the posting period for the transaction, click Change the posting period (the Change the posting period button), and then select the fiscal year and period.

Tip: You can list vendors alphabetically or by vendor number when selecting vendors to pay. The window includes separate Vendor# and Payee columns. Simply click the column heading to sort by the vendor number or payee.
