Electronic Bank Payments Is it possible to automate the batch? For example, the team do an analysis of who to include in the bill run this week. They then go to the batch screen to choose the bank account and which bills to pay. Is there a way to avoid this manual step? I’m thinking could we upload a custom field to flag as pay this week on the bill, create a saved search to filter records due for payment and a script to do the batch step… anyone achieve a way to avoid the selection and manual batch step

You can create create a PFA via script. We are going that currently. So depending on how your bill selection process works you could automate it. Would just be a MR script to run the search/query for those bills then create the PFA records. I am just finishing up v2 of our payment process/ui, doing basically the same thing just passing search parameters from the UI to the MR.

NS has a standard payment batch feature. You have to tick the Process Bills Automatically in the Company Bank Details record and then select the saved that will be the basis of the bills to be paid. Go to Payments > Payment Batch List to generate the payment batch based on that saved search/es. The payment batch can be auto-generated as well if you set a payment schedule and link it to the same saved search in the Company Bank Details record.

Just read up on that, looks like a pretty slick solution! I would suspect that could be a pretty good option for what Rachael described. We'd be over the 5k transaction limit so have to stick with our custom solution but there is a lot of appeal to just having the batches auto created waiting for approval based on a defined schedule.
