Specify entity-specific account numbers

Entities often need to make payments to the same supplier, such as a utilities company or supplier. However, it's common for entities to have different account numbers with the supplier. On the Payment information tab, you can specify a different account number for each entity.

• For suppliers created at the top level, you can specify a different account number for any child entity.
• For suppliers created at the entity level, you can specify the account number for only that particular entity or any subentities that belong to it.

When you pay by cheque, the supplier account number appears on the cheque face or supplier stub. This makes it easy for the supplier to match the payment information with the AP purchase invoice that's being paid.

• If the payment is associated with AP purchase invoices from only one entity

  The supplier account number prints in the Memo field on the cheque face.

• If the payment is associated with AP purchase invoices from more than one entity

  The supplier stub includes a Supplier Acct # column that displays the supplier account number associated with each payment covered in the cheque.
