Remit to Vendor; Assigning Parent Vendors for Bill Payment
This feature allows you to assign a Remit-To vendor at the vendor level so that payments for one vendor can be directed to a parent vendor. By configuring this in the vendor’s accounting details, all future AP bills for the child vendor will automatically route to the designated Remit-To vendor. This helps consolidate payments and simplifies vendor management when multiple vendors roll up to a single payee. Note that this setting applies only to new bills and does not update previously created transactions.
- Open Child Vendor Record to access the vendor that will have payments redirected to a parent (Remit-To) vendor.
- Navigate to Accounting Details where the Remit-To Vendor field is available for selection.
- Select Remit-To Vendor by choosing the parent vendor that should receive payments for this child vendor.
- Save Vendor Configuration so future AP bills automatically assign the Remit-To vendor.
- Review AP Bills Table to confirm new bills reflect the Remit-To vendor assignment.
- Process Payments Together by selecting multiple bills tied to the same Remit-To vendor and paying them in a single transaction.
- Understand Real-Time Application as the Remit-To setting only applies to newly created bills and does not update past transactions.
