Hi,

You can record the payment as 'cash' and put in the bank's payment reference (i.e. BMO 78901234) or if you don't use EFTs from Sage 50, set up a dummy bank account number for CRA (123,12345,1234567) and enable Direct Deposit. The default bank account will be used, and can be overridden.

The advantage of setting up the 'direct deposit' is that you can print it for your files, or email it to a vendor as a remittance notice.

Don't worry that you're building up a great huge pile of unprocessed Direct Deposits, as far as I can tell nothing will happen with them unless you have EFTs set up, and add them into a batch.

Kyrst,

I normally don't disagree with Randy, therefore I may be misunderstanding your issue but I don't think it's necessary to do any Direct Deposit setup here.

If I understand correctly, you have cut a cheque, found out the owner pays and reports direct through the banking systems and now wish to record the payment as a Web payment instead of Paid By Cheque.

I haven't used the Payroll remittance feature but when I teach my clients, I tell them to leave it on Paid by Cheque, use the Confirmation number from the Pay Taxes website (are the new changes interesting?) as the Cheque No. field and use the Period for the Reference No. (eg. Jan/17).

Therefore if you really want to change the Cheque No to the payment Confirmation number, hit adjust and change the Cheque No. field to the appropriate information, hit Post.

If you really needed to have the Paid By drop-down show Online Payment/Web Payment/Tax Payment, etc., then you can set up a credit card to do that but since there is no canned report that shows that information, I don't think it's necessary, unless you would use it to speed up other entries in Payables. If you want to set up a credit card, review the sample universl.sai file for the setup and use the bank account instead of a liability account.

I hope I have not missed the issue too far but if I have then ignore me.

Hope this helps
