Unable to change Bank Codes for custom Form Code in Accounts Payable Check and Electronic Payment Processing in Sage 100 2020

October 23, 2020 by Wayne Schulz

Users of Sage 100 2020 have noticed a pesky bug which may stop them from using multiple bank codes with the same Accounts Payable check form.

Selecting a bank code – other than default – was not possible in Sage 100 2020. A fix was expected for the first product update however that fix somehow missed the update release.

Now Sage has published a separate hotfix which can be downloaded and applied to Sage 100cloud 2020 to resolve this issue.

Sage will also incorporate this fix into Sage 100 2020 Product Update 2

For more information refer to this Sage KB entry.

Problem / Description:

When going into the Check Printing and Electronic Payment screen for a bank code that does not transmit ACH (not pre-authorized) and select “BOTH” (check and electronic) and immediately receive

“The bank code ‘N’ is not approved for electronic payment. You must setup this bank code for electronic payment in ACH Interface Maintenance or select another bank code.

This situation can arise because the customer has multiple bank accounts – some of which are used for ACH and others for pure check writing (no ACH). Vendors can be setup to have ACH through one bank account and checks through another. The solution occurs during the invoice payment selection (See below).

Resolution:

During invoice payment selection you need to check off the “Pay Electronic Payment Vendors by Check”

AND

When you go intoCheck Printing and Electronic Payment to print the checks be sure to select “CHECKS” when asked how you want to pay. Don’t select “ACH” or “BOTH” or you’ll get the error message if the bank account is not approved for ACH.
