Direct Deposit with Sage 100c

SUGGESTED

Hello all....

I am new to using the payroll portion of Sage but have been using the software since the early MB6/MB7 years. 

I am trying to figure out the direct deposit and exactly what to do to set it up. I bank with Bank of America and they just sent me this.... 

Good morning, I talked to several of my peers, my manager and also some associates on the online banking channel. We do not have a software or a department that can process direct deposits.  Direct deposits have to be initiated by the processor. There is a request known as “Drawdown Wire Request or Reverse Wire Funding” it is use to set up debit authority I don’t know if that is what Sage 100 Contractor is referring to... 

The request is to allow the payroll vendor to make draws from your account to fund payroll

  • Business clients may use Wire Transfer Debit Authorization Service to fund a payroll account maintained by a payroll vendor at another bank.
  • The funds are credited to the account of a recipient designated by our client.

I have read all the articles like this one 

https://help-sage100contractor.na.sage.com/Sage100Contractor/US/23_2/Content/Modules/5-Payroll/Creating_a_direct_deposit_file.htm

on direct deposit but I do not understand how it integrates. 

Can anyone help me in the right direction? 

John.

    Hi John. They may be referring to what 100 Contractor calls a pre-note. Take a look at KB article 18246 and see if this is what they are asking for.

    We do direct deposit (they call it ACH payments) through our bank.  They set it up so through our banking website I can enter the information or upload the NACHA File.  

    If your bank doesn't offer ACH payments then it won't work for you and you would have to find a third party to originate the payments.  Sage prepares the payroll and gives you the information to send it, but doesn't actually send the payment.  

    From what your bank has said, it sounds like they would send money to a bank or third party to send the payroll to your employees, but they will not do it themselves.  

  • Did you end up using a third party processing company?  I am in the same situation where the current credit union does not have the ability to process ACH payments.  Looking for recommendations for 3rd party service provider.
