Type a unique code, using up to six characters, to identify a new remit-to location.

When you add a new record, this tab displays any optional fields that are set up for automatic insertion for that type of record. If default values are defined for any of these fields, they are also displayed.
You can remove optional fields, and you can add optional fields that are set up for use with this screen. You can also change any default values.
For more information, see About Accounts Payable Optional Fields.
Note: If you defined the same optional fields for remit-to locations as for vendors and vendor groups, the program uses the values from the vendor record as default values for the optional fields in the remit-to location record.
Overview
Use the A/P Remit-To Locations screen to:
-
Add, edit, and delete remit-to locations—additional addresses to which you send payments and other correspondence to vendors.
Note: You use this code in the Invoice Entry screen to assign a remit-to location to a document you enter for the vendor.
- Assign a primary remit-to location displayed as the default for vendor invoices and printed on checks to the vendor.
-
Specify the check language to use for each location.
Note: You can change the language in which the amounts are printed on checks. If you want to change the language for other items on the check or advice form, you must change the check report.
- Provide default entries for remit-to location optional fields. If you use the location when entering invoices, the optional entries from the remit-to location record override the entries provided by the vendor record.
Tip: If you want to view all locations for a vendor, or delete a remit-to location, you can do so directly from the initial screen that opens when you double-click the Remit-To Locations icon.
You can change all the information in a remit-to location except the remit-to code. If you need to change the code, you must add another record using the new code, then delete the record you no longer need.
Address Tab
Use this tab to:
- Change the check language, address, contact name, telephone number, and fax number for remit-to locations.
- Select primary remit-to locations for vendors.
- Assign Inactive status to remit-to locations you want to suspend temporarily or delete at year end.
Contact Tab
Use this tab to enter the name, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address for a contact person at the remit-to location.
Optional Fields Tab
Note: This tab appears only if you use Sage 300 Transaction Analysis and Optional Field Creator.
You use the Optional Fields tab to assign optional fields for particular remit-to locations.
If you set any optional fields for automatic insertion in remit-to location records, they appear on the tab, along with their default values.
Note: If you defined the same optional fields for remit-to locations as for vendors and vendor groups, the program uses the values from the vendor record as default values for the optional fields in the remit-to location record.
You can accept or change the optional field values. If an optional field requires validation, you can select only a value that is assigned to the optional field in Common Services or, if the optional field allows it, you can leave the default value field blank.
Tip: If you use exactly the same optional fields for invoices, vendors, and remit-to locations, when you specify a remit-to location on the Invoice Entry screen, Accounts Payable uses the optional field values from the remit-to location for the invoice, debit note, or credit note.
