cost estimate for AP payment customization job

[johnhugh]

Hi,

we're using Accpac 5.5 and I'm looking for ways to automate AP payments.

The idea is to generate 1 big payment batch based on due dates for all our vendors and all banks.
The result gives a list of all invoices grouped by country, vendor and bank. This list can then be opened by a manager who can tick the payments that he approves. The approved payments can then be posted.

I'm sure it's possible to have a custom application that can do that or maybe even customize AP to include this functionality. How much would it cost to write something like this and how long would it take?

Have you looked at payment selection codes? That would get you close.

Typically you should be able to go to your Accpac dealer to request a quote on such a customization. Otherwise there are a few independent customizers that are out there. A couple are:

http://www.solidbiz.ca/

http://www.indussys.com/

I'm sure there are more but they can be hard to find. There are lots of Accpac dealers who also have strong development departments - but you'll probably have to become a client of theirs before they'll do work for you.

Thanks DjangMan,

Selection codes get my 80% of what I want, correct.
I'll have a look at the links you mentioned.
