Feature 1 : Grouping invoice payments
Solution: Manage Payables
Details:
Users can now choose to group invoice payments made by ACH or check to the same supplier on the same date.
Users can now choose to group same-date invoice payments made to the same supplier via ACH or Check.
To enable this, new settings are introduced at the Supplier level in the Supplier side panel in Manage Payables as well as in the Payment settings in the Payables menu on the Settings page.
Settings on | Settings |
---|---|
Settings -> Payables -> Payment settings | Group payments to same supplier on same payment date’ |
Manage Payables -> Supplier name ->Payments ->ACH or Check | Group payments made on same payment date |
When the settings are toggled on, check or ACH invoice payments of the same supplier are grouped together if the payment date is the same. On confirmation, the scheduled payment is sent for approval from the payment approver.
By default, these settings will be toggled on. Users can choose to toggle this off at the payment level or at the supplier level.
Users can group invoice payments only when the invoices:
are from the same supplier
Have the same payment date
Have the same payment method and funding account
With grouped payments, users can
Apply/Remove credits for the underlying invoices
Apply/Remove discounts for the underlying invoices
Specify remittance notes for the underlying invoices
Posting grouped payment invoices:
These payments will be posted as a single transaction to the General ledger. In case of a posting failure, to post these invoices users will have to select any one of these invoices and click on ‘Post’ in the ‘Paid invoices’ tab.
Users cannot mark the group invoices as paid with the ‘Mark Paid’ action.
For grouped invoices paid via check, the remittance details will include all the corresponding invoices in the check stub area.

Feature 2 : Department, location, and class coding for uploaded

QuickBooks Online users should be able to view their department and class fields for all captured invoices. Depending on how QuickBooks Online is configured, the department field in Centime will either populate location or department in the ERP.
QuickBooks Desktop users will be able to view the class field for all the captured invoices.
NetSuite users will be able to view the department, location, and class fields for all captured invoices.
Users can set these fields as default for the desired suppliers by clicking on the ‘Set as default for this supplier’ setting under each of these fields.
