Need to be able to import invoices with a payment method of Credit Card

The Financial Edge Credit Card Management feature is a great step in the right direction, but we really need to be able to import invoices with the Payment Method of Credit Card.  The current import fields don't list Credit card account as a field available to import

    Adding another note - also adding in a payment method of ACH or credit card that doesn't require credit card account or bank account information. Basically like bank draft or check but with a name of ACH.

    This functionality is especially important when you want to do credit card management in Expense Management to take advantage of the approval workflow, but the credit card feed is not available as an option through Yodlee or it is available but not working as you would like. With the feed not working, credit card charges need to be created manually via an invoice request. Once the invoice request is approved, it populates into Accounts Payable as an approved unpaid invoice with a method of payment that is not credit card. Payment is a manual process to change method of payment to credit card and selecting the appropriate credit card. If the invoice gets posted before payment to the credit card, then changing method of payment to credit card after its posted is not an option. To work around this, you must do an invoice adjustment and change the liability account on the distribution to the liability account for the credit card. The adjustment puts the invoice post status into a not yet posted where the method of payment can now be changed to credit card.

    With hundreds of charges on a credit card statement in any given statement cycle, it is a very tedious process to manually change method of payment for each invoice to credit card and choosing the appropriate credit card. To circumvent this, an export of invoices with invoice import ID to a spreadsheet would allow the method of payment to be changed to credit card along with the credit card identified quite easily. This spreadsheet could be imported back in using the invoice import id with the changes as a global change/mass update.

    I need this too! Payment Method = Credit Card no problem, but import fails unless you provide Credit Card Account. But there is no way to tell FE what the Credit Card Account is. Grr!

    still not working as you need to identify the credit card account, however that is not a "mappable" filed when doing the import from CSV file

    We receive the Validation Error: "Credit Card Account" is required when trying to import credit card invoices to FE NXT.
    Please make this feature available. Our company needs to be able to import credit card invoices from the AvidXchange PO system.

    This is a much needed feature.  We currently have to modify every credit card transaction, after import, to change the payment type.

    Apologies for the comment on an old topic, but I'd love for this import feature to be available.  I understand NXT's goal is to import all CC activity through feeds directly from the credit card company, but many of us are already using third party vendors and need a way to integrate the information from other software into NXT.  I am currently having lots of trouble downloading credit card payments to the extent that my only work around is to tell NXT that we are importing bank drafts and assigning a credit card "bank" to these transactions instead of a credit card account.  Obviously not ideal.  If we can import credit card activity (as well as activity with assigned credits) and be able to designate the credit card payment type as well as the credit card account in the import mapping, that would go a long way in streamlining this process.  Thanks so much for your attention on this.

    Hi Shayda & Sarah,

     

    The main reason why we implemented "Credit card" as a payment method in Financial Edge 7 was to support our efforts of building a first-class credit card solution in Financial Edge NXT. NXT allows you to link to your financial institution and pull down a live feed of credit card transactions. We decided to release this limited credit card capability in Financial Edge 7 after speaking with some clients and hearing that there was still value in having this payment method. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and please let us know if you have any additional feedback! Thank you

    I contacted them and was told that you cannot import using this option, but you can adjust invoices using this option.  Since large companies who use credit cards normally have hundreds of transactions, the inability to import is a huge problem and completely negates the use of the credit card account feature in Blackbaud.

    Have you contacted support for assistance?  Because "Credit Card" is a valid option for that during import.
