We are utilizing ach deposits to vendor accounts to take advantage of discounts. This is the same type of payment performed by on line bill payment services (electronic check).. We have open po's for these payments in macola that need to process through the macola system but the check is being made via electronic check..(ach).. We thought we would cut manual checks against these po's and use the ach transaction id as the check number to tie everything.. Does anyone have a bettter way or idea. The volume is below 25 per month.. at this time...

Thanks

Would be interested in seeing other alternatives to the above idea as well.

My only thought is to take the ACH data and write the flex or VB to import them to Macola making entries into all the tables required correctly.

Macola tried using "checkfree" at one time w/o great success. Peak Data (Tectura now) has had AP EFT for a long time, but it is source code in v7. You'll have to ask them how they plan to handle it for Macola ES & beyond. Wasn't there some talk about ES having EFT native to the program since this is the common method of payment in Europe?
 
I have posted 2 threads "Is anyone using Peak data EFT" and I never got a response, not even one. Maybe there are people using this but I have yet to get a positive reponse (even out of Peak/Techtura).

I would go with Macola ES. ES supports electronic payments (in fact the original version of ES did not even print checks, if you can imagine that).

For those interested in upgrading, Macola ES is ready, nothing to worry about on the upgrade except the data conversion. :)

"Except the Data conversion". That's kinda a big one, Don. If I were to guess, I would speculate that Peak's EFT customers have been taken care of, just as my most recent BESToe problems for 7.6.200 were addressed by Peak in DAYS not years by macola. There is a quality of programming expertise in these shops that is limited by Exact's focus outside the US. Some of our vendors actually know what real macola users want to see every day.
