Right now, the way to manage direct earnings attachments is almost entirely manual. While the system does incorporate a meant to automatically deduct said earnings attachments during payroll, that is as far as it goes and, as far as I am aware, the only real means of processing these payments after completing payroll is to run an Attachment report for the relevant period and then manually make payments, by then manually looking up the bank details, reference numbers in the employee files.

It would be great if, as part of the payroll process, there could be an attachment payments step that would put together an e-banking file with payments ready for all the relevant authorities with their bank details and the appropriate reference numbers, so we can just process that one bank payment and be done with it. It could even be incorporated into the main e-banking file, to be honest.

At the very least, having the ability to save the sort code, account number and reference code in Sage Payroll that a Direct Earning Attachment needs to be paid to and showing this in the report would save a lot of time.
