How Suggested Payments Work

The Suggested Payment report allows you to efficiently process bulk payments to suppliers who are paid by cheque or BACS.

When running a BACS payment batch, the system generates a file that can be directly uploaded to your banking platform, simplifying the payment process. This functionality can be configured to work with all major banking providers. Please contact us for further information if you would like assistance setting this up.

Setting Up Accounts for Suggested Payments

For accounts to appear on the Suggested Payments report, ensure that payment terms are set up. If the supplier is being paid via BACS, configure the Payment Details tab as follows:

• Payment Priority: Priority 1
• Bank Name: (e.g., NatWest)
• Sort Code: Supplier's sort code
• Account Number: Supplier's account number
• Account Type: Set to "1"
• BACS Payment Reference: Enter the reference for the BACS transaction

Running a Suggested Payment Report

To generate a Suggested Payment report, navigate to:

Accounts > Purchase Ledger > Suggested Payments

This will produce a report of suppliers ready for bulk payment processing, making the payment process quick and seamless.

Note: If on the Payment Details tab the Payment by DD box is ticked, the accounts will not appear on Suggested Payments.
