We use the Supplier record and purchase ledger on Sage 50 Accounts for both credit account / 30 day invoice suppliers and various other suppliers that are paid by Direct Debit, such as BT, Gas, Electric, Fuel Cards, Office 365 etc, etc.
We process their invoices as batch invoices and subsequent Direct Debit payments as supplier payments.
The problem we have is that the remittance advice window is being clogged unnecessarily by remittance advices being generated for these DD suppliers.
The Sage Customer Support help desk have shown me the workaround: To disable ALL remittance advices in the Bank Default screen and then click "Create Remittance" every time we when make a supplier payment which requires a remittance advice but this will be prone to human error, forgetting to click the button to create the remittance advice.
It would be much better if we could have a remittance advice switch within the Supplier record which could either disable or enable remittance advices.
