Overview
Workamajig has partnered with CSI globalVCard to integrate a new way of managing payments.
For more information and support on this feature, please visit https://www.corporatespending.com.
CSI globalVCard is a leading provider of innovative corporate payment solutions that include virtual card and mobile payment technologies. (Learn more about virtual card payments.) Whether we deliver your B2B payments through our SaaS platform or mobile application, you can be assured that your financial data is secure and facilitated by a trusted leader in the industry.
NOTES:
- This feature is designed in the Platinum interface only. So while you can create payments in Classic or Platinum, the ability to send/batch those payments to CSI is only available in the Platinum interface.
- You can access the Print Checks screen from Today - Purchasing. However, you can also go directly to the Print Checks screen by manually entering the following URL after your server address:
/platinum/?aid=purchasing.payments.list
For example, your full URL might look like this:
https://appXX.workamajig.com/platinum/?aid=purchasing.payments.list - Your Accounting Controller must be involved in this setup and workflow process.
- While you can create the payments as usual in Classic, you must use the Platinum interface to access the Print Checks screen that has the View Batch, Add To Batch and Publish Batch options.
- If you are asked to provide payment history by CSI, you can do this by going to Today - Purchasing > Views > Payments, and then by modifying the report view, include any additional columns and filter by the desired payment date range. Additionally, you can email support@workamajig.com for further assistance with modifying reports in Workamajig.

First Run Through
1. You will want to connect with your CSI rep on their overall training and process.
2. Schedule training with Workamajig to review the workflow process that takes place on this side of the integration.
3. With knowledge of both sides of this feature, you will want to create a test vendor, so you can create a $1 vendor invoice and payment, for the purpose of running it through the full workflow process described in this guide.
- This way CSI can verify the transaction is processing through their system.
- You also might be asked to do your first run through with your CSI rep, as they can monitor the first live batch you process.
PreFunding
From the Today - Accounting page you can click on New at the top and choose Journal Entry.
With the GL Account setup, you can then enter a Journal Entry to Prefund the VCard clearing account as needed.
- The above screenshot is just an example of what your Journal Entry might look like.
- This is just a recording of what actual transactions exist on your bank account to match what you have wired to CSI.
- By prefunding the account, you can see the current available balance of your VPay Account from the Select Invoices For Payment screen.
Workflow
Select Invoices for Payment
Go to Menu > Purchasing > Today - Purchasing.
- Under the To Pay As Of section, click on Vendor Invoices.
- Check Accepts VCards. While this is optional, it helps to narrow down payments/vendors that work with this feature.
- Click Search.
- From the results that appear, Check the Vendor Invoices you want to pay.
Generate Payments
- Click Pay $ to open the Payment Options panel.
- Enter in the VCard Clearing Account in the Cash Account field.

This will open the Print Checks page.
Add To Batch

- Click Publish Batch.
- Or come back later and click View Batch, to then add or remove transactions prior to pressing Publish Batch.
NOTES:
- You can only publish one batch at a time.
- If you have multiple GL Accounts you pay from, be sure to only create one Batch Per Card. Do not add two cards worth of transaction into one batch.
- If you receive an error when you press Add To Batch, this typically means your password in Connections is outdated.
- If you receive an error when you press Publish Batch, this typically means the vendor is not established on CSI's system.
- If you Remove a transaction from the Batch and re-add it back, the next check number will increase.
Review your CSI GlobalVcard Dashboard and Payment Center
The following image is just an example of what the CSI dashboard looks like.
- Check for errors and if needed, please contact your CSI rep to address any concerns with what you see here.
Troubleshooting
- The most common error you might encounter is the missing/remittance email that can appear in the CSI interface. This can be solved by adding an email address to the primary contact of the vendor record within Workamajig, but would only apply to future payments. You would still need to resolve the one(s) in the CSI interface.
- If you receive a red banner/error in the Workamajig interface at any time when you click View Batch, Add To Batch, or Publish Batch. Please read the error and handle accordingly. If you do not understand the error, or if the error is not legible, please email support@workamajig.com with a screenshot of the error and what button you pressed.
- If you remove a payment from the Batch Screen in Workamajig. Be aware that the check number will increase by 1 when you re-add it.
- Payments that have been successfully sent over to CSI and have a Batch ID in Workamajig, cannot be resent. Even if you blank out the Check Number. Please contact support@workamajig.com if you are having an issue and need to get the data cleaned up on the Workamajig side.
- If a payment was sent in a batch, but never received on the CSI end, after you figure out the issue, you can blank out the Check ID of the payment in question and add to batch again.
