Organizations managing payments across multiple legal entities, banks, countries, and currencies often face increasing complexity as they grow. Different banking requirements, payment formats, vendor preferences, and regulatory standards can create manual work, increase the risk of errors, and make accounts payable more difficult to manage.
Gravity Software Version 7.0 introduced capabilities that simplify domestic and international payment processing while giving finance teams greater control over how payments are created, approved, and processed.
Why payment processing becomes more complex as organizations grow
As businesses expand into new regions, acquire additional companies, or work with more vendors, payment processing requirements become increasingly diverse.
Finance teams often need to:
- Process payments across multiple legal entities
- Support different banking file formats
- Pay vendors using their preferred payment methods
- Manage multiple currencies
- Maintain accurate intercompany accounting
- Reduce manual intervention while improving payment accuracy
Traditional accounting software often requires custom development or third-party tools to accommodate these changing requirements. Gravity Software Version 7.0 was designed to provide the flexibility organizations need while reducing payment processing complexity.
Flexible payment processing designed for your organization
Every bank has unique payment requirements. Rather than requiring software customization each time an organization adds a new bank or payment format, Gravity Software allows finance teams to configure payment processes that fit their banking relationships.
User-defined payment types
Organizations can configure payment methods that align with their banking requirements, including:
- Direct ACH
- NACHA file exports
- Printed checks
- Electronic payments
- Additional user-defined payment formats
This flexibility allows finance teams to standardize payment processes while accommodating different banking institutions and regional requirements.
User-configurable payment export formats
One of the most significant enhancements in Version 7.0 is the Export Definition Tool, which enables organizations to create payment export files without custom software development.
Finance teams can define payment export formats required by financial institutions worldwide without custom software development. Whether a bank requires XML files commonly used throughout Europe, fixed-width text files used by Australian financial institutions, or other bank-specific formats, organizations can create payment files that meet their banking requirements using Gravity Software's Export Definition Tool.
- XML payment files commonly used by European banks
- Fixed-width text files used by many international banking systems
- Other bank-specific payment layouts
This reduces implementation costs while making it easier to onboard new banking partners.
Simplify vendor payment management
Different vendors often require different payment methods.
Version 7.0 allows organizations to assign preferred payment methods at the vendor level, helping accounting teams process payments using each vendor's preferred format while maintaining consistent internal workflows.
Whether vendors receive payments through Direct ACH, NACHA files, printed checks, or other supported methods, finance teams can manage payment preferences from within Gravity Software.
Streamline multi-entity payment processing
Growing organizations frequently process payments across multiple legal entities.
Rather than creating separate payment batches for each legal entity, organizations can consolidate payments across multiple companies in a single batch. Gravity Software automatically maintains accurate due-to and due-from balancing, reducing manual work while simplifying multi-entity payment processing.
Combined with Gravity Software's native multi-entity accounting capabilities, finance teams can reduce administrative work while improving payment accuracy and visibility.
Support global payment requirements
Organizations operating internationally can pay vendors in their local currencies while supporting country-specific banking requirements and regional payment standards. Whether paying suppliers in U.S. dollars, euros, or other supported currencies, finance teams can manage global payments from a single cloud accounting platform.
Why these enhancements matter
Modern finance teams need payment processing that scales alongside the business.
By reducing manual processes and providing flexible payment configuration, Gravity Software Version 7.0 helps organizations:
- Improve payment accuracy
- Reduce manual processing
- Simplify banking integrations
- Support global payment requirements
