Daxko Accounting: Draft Payment Bulk Import File

For vendors that are being paid outside of Daxko Accounting via ACH or other electronic terms, our Draft Import File process will make clearing those payments quick and simple.

This release in Daxko Accounting includes the ability to Import a file to bulk post Draft Payments as paid! Our goal with this enhancement was to take a tedious task and help automate it to save you time in paying Vendors.

These new features include all the same importing processes that you are familiar with (drag and drop, queue processing, queue notifications, review steps, and event logging). We also understand that since this is automating an existing feature, we have applied this new permission to any user that already has “All AP Functions” selected.
