Can you setup different payment methods?

SUGGESTED

Hello. I'm trying to post invoice payments. We pay via EFT but the system won't let add it. If I choose direct deposit, then it is asking me to enter a supplier's bank account (which I don't have). I can't use cheque, since it looks like it will throw off my cheque sequence (I do pay by cheque to some suppliers). 

Any suggestions on what to do? Can I just add an additional payment method and enter whatever reference #? Thank you.

    Hi  ,

    Thanks for reaching out. If you're looking to set up an additional payment method without impacting your cheque sequence, here's a step-by-step guide that might help:

    1. For adding a new payment method to Purchase or Sales invoices, please follow these preliminary steps:

      • Log in as sysadmin in single-user mode.
      • Go to 'View' and select 'Close all Other Sage 50 Windows'.

      For Purchase Invoice:

      • Navigate to 'Setup', then 'Settings', select 'Company', and go to 'Credit Cards', then 'Used'.
      • Fill in the new payment method details such as Credit Card Name (which will be the name displayed in the drop-down menu), Payable Account, and Expense Account.
      • Confirm the change by clicking 'OK'.

      For Sales Invoice:

      • Go to 'Setup', 'Settings', 'Company', 'Credit Cards', then 'Accepted'.
      • Enter the details for the new payment method, including Credit Card Name, Currency, Asset Account, Discount Fee %, and Expense Account.
      • Click 'OK' to confirm the change.
    2. To set a default payment method for vendor payments:

      • Open the vendor record and select the 'Options' tab.
      • Under 'Default Payment Method', select the appropriate payment method from the drop-down for Payments.
      • Click 'Save and close'.

    Please note that if you are setting up a payment method that isn't a credit card, you may adapt these steps accordingly, using a payment method label that reflects the method you're using, such as 'EFT' or 'Direct Deposit'.

    Lastly, if you need to reset or change the numbering of forms to avoid affecting your cheque sequence, you can follow the instructions provided in the article on how to reset or change the numbering for invoices and other forms.

    If you require further assistance, feel free to chat with support using the link provided.

    If this helps, please mark it as verified :)

    Warm Regards,

    You might want to check if your system allows for adding multiple payment methods or see if there's an option for custom entries. I ran into something like this when I was trying to pay a supplier. They only accepted bank transfers, but I had issues with not having their details. What worked for me was just contacting support to explain my situation. They ended up suggesting I could use a platform like atlos.io for *** payments. I thought it was a bit out there at first, but it made things easier, and I didn't need to deal with bank info.

    How about using 'cash' as the method, and then EFT#### as the reference #?
