Remittances by cheque and BACS

Updated over a week ago

There are two sections in this article:

  • Remittances by cheque

  • Remittances by BACS

Remittances by cheque

To pay remittances by cheque:

  1. In the Dimensions Ribbon, click the Creditors tab.

  2. In the Transaction section, click Remittances, Remittances Cheques. The Remittance window appears.

  3. In the display search window on the far right, check that the number currently displayed in the Cheque Number field is correct. It should match the number in the chequebook or pre-printed Remittance and Cheque forms. If it does not bring this in line with those numbers.

  4. In the top right, click the Display icon. All of the transactions which have been previously approved on the Suggested Payments List will appear.

  5. To complete the printing process, at the top, click the green tick icon.

  6. Click Yes. A new Output window appears.

  7. Choosing to output via the Default (red pin) will automatically output to the format set in the supplier’s record.
    Note: Default means that depending on how each of the Supplier’s records have been set up for Remittance Document delivery will be set, those who are printed will come off the printer and those that are e-mail will be sent automatically.

  8. Following the print of all documents, a dialog appears asking Would you like to print the Remittances again?
    Note: Should there have been a problem with the Printing process (for example a paper jam) you must say yes to this message as there is no other method way of re-printing Remittances.

  9. If you do not need to reprint, click No. A Post Remittances window appears.

  10. To accept the Remittances, click the green tick icon. This will post the payments as well as allocate the Invoices to the newly created Payments.

Remittances by BACS

To pay remittances by BACS:

  1. In the Dimensions Ribbon, click the Creditors tab.

  2. In the Transaction section, click Remittances, Remittances BACS. The Remittance BACS window appears.

  3. On the right is the display search window. In the top right of this window, click the Display icon. All of the transactions which have been previously approved on the Suggested Payments List will appear.
    Note: Only transactions for Suppliers for which all of the Bank Details are completed can be loaded into the BACS window. Should they not load, check that all of the details are there which can only be done on the Supplier record card.

  4. To complete the printing process, at the top of the Remittance BACS Window, click the green tick icon. A confirmation dialog appears.

  5. Click Yes. A new Output window appears.

  6. Choosing to output via the Default (red pin) will automatically output to the format set in the supplier’s record.

  12. On the right, in the Transaction search window, at the top, click the Display icon. This will show all Remittances already produced.

  13. To include a Remittance in the Export, double-click the transaction until the toggle field at the end switches to Yes.

  14. Once all the required transactions have been toggled to be included in the BACS Export, at the top, click the green tick icon. A confirmation window appears.

  15. Click Yes. An output window appears.

  16. At the top, next to the printer icon, click the File icon. Hover over for tips.

  17. At the top, click the green tick icon. A new naming window appears.

  18. Change the name of the file to something more recognisable, for example, include the date.

  19. To ensure that the resulting export file is stored in its correct location, click Browse.

  20. This export can now be passed to the desired Banking software.

Note: Due to the numerous BACS Vendors that are supported by Dimensions, we cannot cover the process of passing the file to the Bank.
