Posting multiple accounts on one check

Yahoo Archive

Dwayne,

From our experiance relying on a software company to make statements
at thier user conference about something in the future. Its
just "vapor ware" until its real. (any documentation on National
Accounts published by Epicor?).

Our experiance is that large quantitiies of enhancement requests for
the same need will not guarantee, but it will help Epicor to stick
to its verbal commitment. On top of that, we do beleive 12 - 18
months is too long(in October of 2006 they said 9.0 was coming out
in 12 - 18 months). This is not a major write or re-write.

We'd like Epicor to take $100 out of our annual $48,000 maintenance
fee (= .2%) and apply it to this cause. If All 1000+ Vantage 8.0
customers would commit the same $$, Epicor could have a full time
programmer working on this for a year and still make a nice profit.

How much extra time is this costing you?

Matt S.

We raised this issue to an Epicor consultant that was working with
us.
She got back to us in March '07 with a confirmation that the National
Accounts module in Epicor 9.0 will allow us to handle this as long
as we
setup parent/child relationships for distributors having multiple
locations.

Hi - I'm hoping that someone could help make my life simpler. I
frequently need to post multiple customer's against one check. For
example, ABC company has 100 different branches. We send invoices as
well as statements to the individual branches (each branch has their
own account number because it is treated as a separate entity) but the
check comes from one central location. So, I need to be able to post
100 different account numbers against the one big check.(I don't want
to set up the central location as an alternate bill to because I do not
want the branches invoices to show up under their account.) I am
currently breaking my big check down into 100 little checks and posting
it that way. That is not only time consuming but it is wrong. This is
the only way that I've been able to get them posted. Any
suggestions????

What version of Vantage are you running?

In V8, you can have Parent/Child customers and alternate bill-to codes but it
really depends on: how you manage the credit; where you send the invoices;
where you send order acknowledgments; etc.

I went to the conference last week and learned that there is currently
no way to post multiple accounts to one check. I frequently have large
checks that pay for several different accounts. I would love to have
the functionality available to post against one account - save - then
post another account to the same check. I am currently breaking the
large check into many smaller checks and posting them separately. This
is time consuming and cumbersome. I spoke to several people at the
conference that are also interested in a change. The support team at
Epicor suggested that I request an enhancement for this in a future
patch/version. They need more folks to request the same enhancement to
make this happen. My question to all of you is.....who's interested??
If you would e mail me your contact information I'll send you the
enhancement sheet to fill out and send in to Epicor. The more people
that send in the form the better chance we've got to get it changed.

Dwayne,

We feel your pain. Ran your problem by our controller. His response
as follows:

Matt,

This functionality would save Donna a "good" hour per week if we had
it.

52 weeks per year.

You may forward my contact information along

Thank you.

Regards,

Mitch
Mitchell S. Willis
Chief Financial Officer

We are a small company so I could imagine this would be a "real"
timesaver for larger organizations.

We would support an enhancement. I'll email you on the side with my
email address for that enhancement form.

Every little bit of optimization helps. An hour here, an hour there,
and before you know it you're hiring additional staff to do work
arounds.(PS: this functionality should be core product, no new
module to buy!)

Hello, I'm new to the group. We are a new company to Epicor and are
currently installing Vantage 8.03. Through the implementation, we
came across this same situation and had the opportunity to list it as
a major issue, for Epicor response. They confirmed that this
functionality does not exist in 8.03. However, they did give us the
answer that in version 9 there is a new module called National
Accounts that will allow one check to be applied against multiple
accounts, if the parent child relationships are established. If
someone else has received this answer I would be interested in
confirming that this functionality will exist in 9.
