Sage Evolution Automatic Payments & Remittance Batches for Foreign Suppliers

Good Day,


We've had this request from several customers especially operating within the Gaming industry where they will have hundreds of suppliers and need to post and pay hundreds of invoices at one go. The Automatic Payments & Remittance Batch is used to pay multiple invoices across multiple suppliers, selecting the invoices and suppliers to be paid by checkbox, then finally processing these all at one go. Over and above this, this facility also allocated the payments against the invoices automatically, rather than having to go through each supplier to allocate, save, and then go to the next supplier and repeat the same process several times depending on the transactions posted. This feature is not available for Foreign Supplier Accounts within Sage Evolution and is definitely an issue. Please consider it to be released in a future version.

What is the workaround for the problem today?

What we have to do at the moment is post the hundreds of transactions through an AP Batch, then export the file and amend in Excel to change the Trans Code to PM for payment, then re import and post. However then the allocation must be done manually, one by one ! This takes super long and is definitely not a solution, however is the only option we have at this stage.


Over and above this, the user must be extra careful after posting the batch, to be sure to Press 'Yes' when asked whether to allocate the transactions now or later, otherwise they will have to go through each supplier manually (and must remember all supplier transactions posted within that batch!). IF you press NO, then you've had it !

    I agree with what Keith said above. We also get this request a lot.
