Can you post transactions from bank feeds in Sage 50?

SUGGESTED

We are trying to post vendor payment transactions directly from a bank feed instead of creating a new payment, which we were able to do in QB.  It looks like it can be done in different versions of Sage but I cannot find the menu's mentioned in posts on Sage 50.  Can this be done in Sage 50 to save inputting time?

    Hello Martin, 

    Thank you for your question. No, you cannot post transactions from Bank Feeds into Sage 50 US. The Bank Feeds feature is only used to simplify Account Reconciliation between your banking institution and the data you've already entered into Sage 50 US. Here is an article from our knowledgebase that outlines how to reconcile accounts using Bank Feeds: How to reconcile my account using Bank Feeds

    To import transactions into Sage 50, you can use the Import feature. Please keep in mind this process requires advanced knowledge of the Sage 50 US Import/Export process. Before attempting to import any data into Sage 50 US, make a backup (File > Backup), as there is no undo function for a failed import. Here is an article from our knowledgebase that outlines the Import process: How to import data

    You must use the import feature found under File, import/export, Accounts Payable. Use the Payments Journal.

    There are two types of payments. One gets applied to and outstanding purchase invoice and the other is not applied to a purchase invoice as it is applied directly to an expense.

    It’s not as simple as it seems to set it up, but once it’s set up, you should be able to manage it fairly easily. 
     
    In my opinion, the best way to visualize this task is to export some of your current payment data to a .csv file with the headings that give you  the data that belongs in the columns. Some columns are not required as per your “help” menu under import/export. 

    One tip to remember, any column that has leading zeros such as an invoice number will omit those zeros and so the check you are trying to import will not find the invoice number and therefore will not bring in that check number.
