First, I am thrilled that Sage has integrated a Positive Pay Feature under the Banking and Ledger Menu. Our company began using Positive Pay with our bank, prior to this feature being created, and had created a 1-3 Query to do so. Now we don't have to.

The only issue I have with the 1-11 module, in its current form, is that it only allows you to pull other, AP, and payroll checks (i.e., pull from journals 1, 14, & 16). Our company spays our credit card balance by check using 4-7-6 "Pay Credit Cards." From what I understand, this records the transaction in journal 28, CC Payments, a journal the Positive Pay file doesn't search

Due to this, we have create two positive pay files for check runs when we pay the company credit card account. One file is created using 1-11 and the other we manually create through the 1-3 Journal Transaction query (which requires a lot of manual override in Excel so it matches our bank format, whereas the Positive Pay file generates the correct formatting automatically).

Suffice it to say, we love the Positive Pay feature, but our functionality as a business would be much smoother if it pulled from journal 28.

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this!
