Pay-to Vendor No. Field, Purchase Header Table
Specifies the vendor who is sending the invoice.
The program automatically retrieves the pay-to vendor number from the Vendor table when you fill in the Buy-from Vendor No. field.
If there is a primary contact attached to the vendor that you select in this field, the program copies the contents of the Primary Contact No. field on the vendor card to the Pay-to Contact No. field and updates the Pay-to Contact field with the name of the primary contact.
Important
All purchase headers contain both a vendor number (Buy-from Vendor No.) that indicates who ships the order and a vendor number (Pay-to Vendor No.) that indicates who invoices the order.
Unless you specify otherwise, the program will automatically enter the buy-from vendor number in the Pay-to Vendor No. field indicating that the invoice has been sent form the same vendor as the items.
If the Pay-to Vendor No. field on the vendor card contains a different vendor number, the number will be retrieved from that field. All vendor information such as invoicing, discounts, dimensions and statistics refers to the vendor who sends the invoice, not the vendor who ships the items.
You can change the number if the default is not appropriate in the particular circumstance. If you do, you will have to answer the following question before the program will make the change:
Do you want to change Pay-to Vendor No.?
If you answer Yes, the program will enter the new number on the purchase header and existing lines.
