Posting multiple vendor payments as 1 bank account entry (for bank recs)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
We have always had a problem with vendor payments in that each vendor payment posts as a separate bank ledger line.  This makes it difficult to do bank recs, as the bank posts the entire payment run as a single entry that we then have to match against many individual entries in our books.
 
What we would like to do is post the entire payment run as 1 bank entry.  This solution was suggested to us by the BC/NAV medics at the recent Community Summit - not putting a balancing bank account entry for each line, but then adding a new bank account entry for the whole payment run.  Sounded good, but it didn't work.  At all.
 
If there is no balancing account then you can't export a payment file.  If you try using a GL account as the balancing entry type, it won't generate a payment file.  How can I get this to work - multiple payments generating an export file for my bank that then results in 1 bank ledger entry.
 
We are currently on BC 14 On-prem
 
Any help would be appreciated - and if you solve it and are in Toronto we might be able to throw in tickets to one of our Mirvish shows!!
 
Thanks

    If you're using the EFT/ACH functionality, as far as I know achieving what you want with standard functionality isn't possible. When you run the Suggest Vendor Payments function, you have the option to create one line per vendor, which I assume you're already utilizing since a single bank ledger entry is created for each vendor. However, there's no option to post all payment lines as a single bank ledger entry without some customization. As you pointed out, the journal needs to be formatted in a specific way for the function that exports the payment lines to an EFT/ACH file, which is where the customization comes into play.

    I agree with the previous response. Without customization, it doesn't seem possible.

    Thanks for your replies.  I got my hopes up after speaking to the BC/NAV medics at Summit.  I guess that expert was just totally wrong.
     
    Why posting a single line to a bank account is not an option is just another BC mystery.  Sometimes BC/NAV is just garbage.

    I wouldn’t call it garbage—the system can’t account for every possible option, but its customizability allows it to handle nearly all scenarios. This flexibility puts it miles ahead of other systems.
