Our company uses Sage 50 US 2024. We recently signed up for and set up ACH capabilities with our bank and I am able to generate NACHA compliant text files for upload to make payments. We can also create payment templates for each employee on the bank's site as well, but that would be tedious work every payday. We do this for vendors we pay every 30 or 60 days (term). We want to offer our employees direct deposit. Is there a way to generate direct deposit payment advice numbers that are separate from the check numbers Sage 50 generates when we print checks? All the help articles on Sage support site keep pointing me to 3rd party services but we'd like to handle this ourselves. The only obstacle I seem to face is processing payroll without actually having to print physical checks.
One solution I thought of was simply adding some arbitrary number like 999 to the beginning of the check payment batch and print out the checks on regular printer paper (serving as a direct-deposit pay stub)
Example: 3 Non direct deposit employees receive paychecks as usual, say checks numbered 33445, 33446 and 33447. Direct deposit employees would receive 99933448, 99933449, and so forth. This way there's no need to destroy the physical checks 33448, 33449 and still use them in the future for other physical check payments.
Any advice / help is greatly appreciated.
