I need a help on remittance in Sage 50 Accounts. I processed a payment and printed a remittance. Later I had to change the cheque number and I edited the transaction. I normally put cheque number in the reference number. When I print remittance again it is not showing the edited cheque number. it shows only the old cheque number. Is there any way to print the edited transaction in remittance? Also I want to know how to print remittance for non supplier payment? i.e If I just pay via bank payments.

  • Hi Lambotharan,

    When you amend details of a supplier payment, this amendment doesn’t affect the remittance. To be able to print a remittance with the correct information on it, you will need to delete the original supplier payment and repost a new supplier payment with the correct details. This will create a new remittance with the correct details that you can print.

    Remittances in Sage Accounts can only be printed for supplier payments, not bank payments. However, you can log this as a suggestion to improve our Sage Accounts software on our Ideas Community: https://communities.sage.co.uk/ideas/

  • Hi Donna,

    When you enter a supplier payment in Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 50 Accounts Plus or Sage 50 Accounts Professional, you can also create a remittance to send to your supplier along with the payment. You can find full info on this here.

    Or, if you're using Sage Instant Accounts or Sage 50 Accounts Essentials, you can find full info on how to process remittances in these variants here.

  • I know how to do a remittance during a payment, but how about AFTER I have saved it? Thanks
  • Hi Donna,

    You can only create a remittance during the payment. To resolve your query you can delete the payment you've already made and then repost it, creating the remittance as you repost it.
