Sage 50cloud - Importing a file to pay external workers

Hello,

I am new to sage and our external payroll process is extremely manual and time consuming with room for lots of human error.

our process is once our invoices have been transferred to Sage we would move the the invoices and credit, filtering on the company name, updating the ledger with the new invoices, then moving to Bank Accounts within Sage and selecting our bank then clicking Supplier Payment in Sage, from here we on the supplier payment screen, to enter the Payee reference to bring up their account entering the payment date and selecting the correct amount and paying this in full and saving and this would be repeated for however many workers for that week. Once this part is complete I would re-select the correct bank in Sage and select E-Payements, checking all the payments are their for the correct amount/date manually. Once this is correct I would save this Bacs file as a note pad file and import to our bank.

my question is can a excel document or something be done to remove this  dry manual process? Our sage can only use GBP with the above process apparently. Has anyone used this part of sage before and have been able to stream like it?

I welcome all help and tips it would be very very much appreciated if this can be made more automated.
