Alert Sound for Vendors on Hold

Is there a place to turn the sound off when selecting Vendors that are on hold? I understand the usefulness but I use a lot of hold vendors and every time I select one of them a get the alert sound and then again when I go to enter anything

The "Mute" button for your speakers?

Perhaps there is some other way to accomplish what you are trying to do rather than putting all your vendors on Hold?

I thought about the "Mute" button too but ...

You may be right in the other part of the answer. I use the Hold feature to stop payments from being generated to vendors that I pay by EFT etc. Maybe there's a better way.

Do you issue payments using a Manual Check batch or System Check run? Do you pay your EFT Vendors from Adagio (using Telpay or Adagio's EFT module) or do you go online and pay them. then record the payments in Adagio?

I issue cheques to my non-Hold vendors by way of system cheques once or twice a month. I pay my EFT (Hold) vendors and then record the payments in a manual cheque batch.

To prevent inadvertently paying the EFT Vendors in a System Check run, assign one of 2 Report Groups to each Vendor: "CHQ" or "EFT". Then on the System Check run screen use "CHQ" for the Report Group starting and ending values.

Thanks Bruce. I will try that. :-)

Report Groups can be easily imported from Excel. Here's a fast way to set all your "On Hold" vendors to the Report Group "EFT":

• On the Vendor Grid, Press F6 to bring up the SmartFinder.
• Adjust the Grid Columns to show Vendor number, Vendor Name, Vendor Status (On Hold) and Report Group.
• Set the SmartFinder Rule to select all vendors where Vendor Status = 1.
• Send the resulting list to Excel and save the file in amongst your Adagio Data, turning off the Total Row.
• Create an import template to import this Excel Sheet using File | Import | Vendors.
• Choose the Vendor Code Field and 4 Fillers (You don't actually need to import anything other than the Vendor Code).
• Set the default Values for Vendor Status to "0" and Report Group to "EFT".
• Don't allow the addition of New Vendors. Say the First Row contains Headings.
• Make a backup.
• Process the import.
• Check the changes have been made as you expect.
