    Try this Instead  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    Thank you for submitting this idea request.

    This functionality exists in Qmlativ, where Activity Accounting (aka SBAA in SMS 2.0) mirrors most everything in Core Finance including eCommerce, Credit Cards, and ACH.

    Some alternative solutions to try in SMS 2.0 include:
    1. Run ACH payments through Accounts Payable.
    2. Physically run a check in lieu of the ACH payment.
    3. Continue to post the journal entries (not recommended by Skyward) and alter the 1099 reporting at the end of the year.

    Thank you.

    Deferred  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    Thank you for submitting this idea. Nelco is the authorized partner of compatible paper forms for the Skyward software. All W-2 and 1099 forms, checks, and school forms are guaranteed 100% compatible. Any issues with the check layout will need to be handled by Nelco as Skyward is unable to alter the format in anyway.

    We hear and understand the value of this request. We appreciate everyone voting and commenting on this request. We did not take this request lightly; we’ve reviewed it and conducted a thorough analysis of the project with our development team. Currently, it’s not something on the roadmap for development.
