Processing Direct Debits

• Generate payments: The 'Generate' form allows the system to create a payments file for all the Direct Debit customers who have invoices/sales orders that are due within a specific date range.


• Amend payments list: Shows a list of the Direct Debit customers, which can be amended by selecting the 'Add' or 'Delete' button. The 'Amount' column shows the value that will be used for the Direct Debit payment/sales receipt.


• Transaction report: Shows a breakdown of the amount allocated to the payment list. Once the list is complete, the user can post the allocated Direct Debit transactions. The system will then create the Direct Debit payment request file and post the receipt transactions to the sales ledger. Users should take a backup of the Sage 50 Accounts data prior to posting a payments file.


• Posting and confirmation of posting: The system will generate a sales receipt for each customer account within the payments list and a confirmation box will appear to confirm that the system has updated successfully.
