To Do List Accounts Payable defaulting to cheque
Hi All,
When choosing the Accounts Payable listing in the To Do List to pay suppliers, I thought you could check the box of the invoices to be paid and as I have set up the bank account to be linked to Purchase Invoices that they should go straight to be paid by Electronic Transfer. If I do this, it defaults to cheque and they end up in the print cheques field. Am I doing something wrong as I don't want to go into each invoice and check Electronic transfer as it is a waste of time...any suggestions please?
Hi Tango
I would have a guess that Setup>>Linked Accounts>>Accounts & Banking - the Bank Account for Electronic Payments is not listed as 1-1111 Electronic Clearing Account. Here is why I think that:- The Bank Account for Electronic Payments shouldn't appear in the Pay From Account list in the Prepare Electronic Payments.
- Even if you didn't select Electronic Payment in the Pay Bills but do have the appropriate set Pay from Account you would get the statement text field in that window, not the payee.
I would recommend reviewing what account you have listed as the Bank Account for Electronic Payments (Setup>>Linked Accounts>>Accounts & Banking). You would want to set that account to that 1-1111 Electronic Clearing account OR set the Bank Account for Paying Bills in the Purchases Linked Account to be that listed account.
