I notice that ECDT recently changed the manual checks section to require a check number. I want to ask that your team re-consider this change and the primary practical use of manual checks in the system for most title companies. Right now, it appears you are approaching this section primarily as being for “handwritten” checks, which is why it defaults to requiring a check number. If that is the case, then a section for ACH/Bill Pay payments needs to be added for those types of payments which do not have numbers. Alternatively, a drop down tab for ACH’s can be added, but users should also be allowed to set ACH as the default for “manual checks” — thereby allowing them to click the checks being issued and quickly mark as written.
As of now, this change has severely slowed down my accounting process, which I cannot afford. Please consider this change — I can’t imagine anyone out there welcomes this change for the reasons stated above. Thank you.
Hello
We did release, as noted, the ACH setting in Manual checks, but at this time we will not be adding the setting to make it default. This could be an enhancement in the future, but not at this time.

Hello
The ability to mark disbursements as ACH has been released recently, however we will look in to the ability to default the Manual Checks/Wires screen to ACH if your office chooses to have that setting in place.

Thank you.����I always recognized the need for it, but this new change to the manual checks requiring check numbers has made it a more pressing need now for sure ��� adding a made-up check number to each disbursement I make by ACH or Bill Pay ��� which can be over 50% of my disbursements in some transactions ��� really adds an unnecessary step to my least favorite process of escrow accounting.����I appreciate your acknowledgment and hope to see it implemented soon!

Hello
We appreciate your feedback. We are looking at adding an ACH option in Escrow Accounting. We do not yet have an ETA on this, but we do recognize the importance of being able to mark an item as being ACH.
