ReportIn day-to-day purchasing and payment operations, vendors often operate from multiple locations — such as warehouses, regional offices, or corporate headquarters. To manage these efficiently, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers two helpful features on the vendor card: Vendor Order Addresses and Vendor Remit Addresses.
We’ve already discussed both features in detail:
-
Vendor Order Addresses (Vendor Order Addresses (Multiple Vendor addresses)) in Business Central — used for managing different ordering or delivery locations.
-
Vendor Remit Addresses (Vendors Multiple remit-to addresses In Buiness Central) in Business Central — used for managing different payment locations.
In this blog, we’ll focus on the difference between these two features.
Both help you handle vendor transactions more accurately, but they serve distinct purposes in the purchasing and payment process. Let’s understand how they differ
Vendor Order Address vs Remit Address
|
Point of Comparison |
Vendor Order Address |
Remit Address |
|
Purpose |
Used when placing orders or receiving goods/services from a vendor. |
Used when sending payments to a vendor. |
|
Used In |
Purchase Orders, Purchase Invoices, and Credit Memos. |
Payment Journals and Check Printing. |
|
Example Scenario |
The vendor delivers items from multiple warehouses, and you need to select the correct one while creating the order. |
The vendor wants payments sent to their head office instead of the branch that shipped the goods. |
|
Where It Appears |
On the Vendor Card under Vendor → Order Addresses and on the Shipping & Payments tab of purchase documents. |
On the Vendor Card under Vendor → Remit Addresses and on the Shipping & Payments tab of purchase documents. |
|
Number of Addresses Allowed |
Multiple order addresses can be created for a single vendor. |
Multiple remit addresses can be created for a single vendor. |
|
When It’s Used Automatically |
When creating purchase documents, the selected Order Address Code decides where the goods will be delivered. |
When processing vendor payments, the selected Remit-to Code decides where the payment or check will be sent. |
|
Main Function |
Defines where goods or services are delivered from or to. |
Defines where payments should be sent. |
Simple Way to Remember
-
Order Address → For ordering or delivery
-
Remit Address → For sending payments
Example
Let’s say your vendor GreenTech Suppliers delivers goods from their Pune Warehouse but wants payments to be sent to their Mumbai Head Office.
-
Pune Warehouse → Vendor Order Address
-
Mumbai Head Office → Remit Address
This way, your purchase orders reach the right warehouse, and your payments reach the correct office — automatically handled by Business Central.
Both Vendor Order Addresses and Remit Addresses are small but powerful tools in Business Central. They help you manage vendors with multiple locations more efficiently, reduce errors, and make your purchasing and payment processes seamless.
By configuring them correctly, you ensure that every order and payment goes to the right place — every time.
