this would be a nice feature just like we had in AC
Ahhhh, the simple days of AC (some of which was effective and efficient ). Please get this into ProC sooner rather than later.
Huge help to AP. Once PR is posted the garnishment payments are created on the
AP side. Less appt to forget to make the payments every payroll. Worked great in American Contractor-should have been a priority function in Pro Contractor as well. We have been waiting three or four years for this to be added. Should have been an easy fix a long time ago.
I noticed this project was updated in Jan-2019 for implementation on the next release... Is this still being worked on? Is there a tentative release date? This would decrease so many duplicate processes! WE NEED THIS LIKE YESTERDAY!
This is a feature in American Contractor that I felt was a benefit. It saves time.
Re: the invoice description, see Gail’s notes below. The state of NC requirements are a little more elaborate than what we have in SC, but most garnishments have some sort of Case ID Name/Number and or Reference Number that needs to be included on the check. In Maxwell Management Suites Employee Deduction and Fringe Maintenance the field is called Case Number, and it prints on the check. A larger field (more characters for description) would be useful, multiple fields might be better.
Ok, so it's now in the planning stage. How much longer till is an actual enhancement. I have multiple checks I write every week and it is very time consuming to do this. Also, will you actually do an enhancement to include state and federal withholding deposits? This would be extremely beneficial as well.
As we are looking into developing this feature, a quick question or 2:
Any concerns with this approach? Thoughts on the invoice distribution description - don't want to put the employee name - payroll check number?
Well that is good news
Cheryl,
It is currently planned for the next release of ProContractor. Once develop starts this idea will be updated so you can track its progress.
Finally, but how long before “planned” and actually implemented? I see some things taking 1-3 years from this step forward.
One Invoice per employee would give the most flexibility.
Then if a user wanted 1 check with all “invoices” listed, they could do that.
If they want one check per deduction, they could set the Vendor to One Check Per Invoice.
Best of both worlds as an option.

How about one invoice with item lines for each employee? You could identify each employee by case number, SSN, something like that
Justin,
In your scenario, if more than 2 employees have the same deduction to the same vendor (e.g. child support) - is the desire for 1 invoice for each employee or 1 invoice with a invoice line item for each employee?
Gayle
Where is that information to be provided? On the check back to the State? On a report?
For Child Support Garnishments North Carolina requires the following field: Employee Name, MPI #, Full SSN, Court File Name and Amount. I am sure most states have similar required fields. It would be a real benefit to those of us who have garishments, etc that we must pay weekly. Just as it would be nice to have this done soon, like in the next upgrade.
Agree, what Justin said is what is needed.
Yes, what Justin is saying as far as detail level is exactly right, and that is the way Management Suites does it. Hope this happens soon!
There should be a line item for each employee. Basically, each garnishment
should create its own invoice in the AP side. In a perfect world, there
would also be the ability to enter a separate identifier that would carry
forward from week to week such as a case #, ID#, etc. along with the amount
per employee. This number would be added during the setup of the
individual garnishment and would not change over the life of the
garnishment.
Justin
What level of detail is need on the invoice that is created from the weekly payroll run? 1 distribution with a total, a distribution for each employee?
