Specify entity-specific account numbers

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

• For vendors created at the top level, you can specify a different account number for any child entity.
• For vendors 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 check, the vendor account number appears on the check face or vendor stub. This makes it easy for the vendor to match the payment information with the bill that's being paid.

• If the payment is associated with bills from only one entity

  The vendor account number prints in the Memo field on the check face.

• If the payment is associated with bills from more than one entity

  The vendor stub includes a Vendor Acct # column that displays the vendor account number associated with each payment covered in the check.
