Vendor Payment

A vendor payment is created when a school pays their suppliers for any goods or items that the school may have purchased.

Payment Account refers to the account that will be credited. This will normally be your bank account.

Name on Payment defaults to Pay to Name specified on the invoice, or to the vendor's Pay to Name for Misc Payments. Users can select from the vendor's Pay To Name (default, specified on the vendor record), Vendor Name, associated Contact 1 or Contact 2 names. Note: Pay to Name specified on the invoice carries over to the check unless overwritten. Example: if a vendor represents a staff household where both Contact 1 and Contact 2 are staff at your school, you will select Contact 1 name for Contact 1, and Contact 2 for Contact 2.

Payment Number refers to the check number or the reference number if you are not paying with a check. If you are paying with a check, the payment number will be printed on your check.

Vendor Memo is used to enter a payment description that you may possibly show on your check.

Internal Memo is used to enter a payment description that you may not necessarily share with vendors.

Debit Account will normally be your Accounts Payable.
