What is Business Central
Business Central is a comprehensive enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution from Microsoft. Designed to streamline operations, improve customer interactions, and enhance decision-making, it integrates various business functions into a single platform. From finance and sales to manufacturing and supply chain management, Business Central is a vital tool for modern enterprises.
What is EFT/ACH
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Automated Clearing House (ACH) are digital payment methods that facilitate the movement of funds between bank accounts. EFT is a broad term encompassing various electronic payments, while ACH refers specifically to the network used for processing these transactions. EFT/ACH payments offer a secure, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional paper checks.
Why Doesn't Business Central's EFT/ACH work with Savings Accounts
The limitation of Business Central's EFT/ACH payments to checking accounts stems from the inherent differences between checking and savings accounts. Checking accounts are designed for frequent transactions, making them suitable for the dynamic nature of business payments. In contrast, savings accounts typically restrict the number of transactions to encourage saving, aligning poorly with the high transaction volumes seen in business operations. This fundamental difference underpins the restriction within Business Central.
