Setting up a vendor and paying another

Posted on by Community Member

I have set up a vendor and their Pay To is paying another company. Under Invoicing on the

Vendor Card, I have entered the Vendor No. of who the check is going to. I have left the

Pay-To Name on the Vendor Card blank.

When I select the vendor to pay, I get a message that pops up

asking if I still want to use the original Vendor. When I answer NO to the question, because I want to pay the other vendor, there is nothing that comes up to pay in my Payment Journal.

Have a set something up wrong?

Thanks

RE: Setting up a vendor and paying another

Let's consider you have Vendor Card (Vendor X), having Vendor Y as "Pay to Vendor No.".

When you go to make the payment against "Pay To Vendor No." (Vendor Y), you should not get the such message, unless you have selected another "Pay To Vendor No." (Vendor Z) on Vendor Card Y.

Also, if you try to make the payment to Vendor X, system would warn you that, you should not make the payment against Vendor X, but you should make the payment against Vendor Y.

This is standard..

Please verify your Vendor card setup again and update.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

The Vendor OHIOVALL01 has a Vendor No. JOHNDEER01. Do you still want to use

Vendor OHIOVALL01 in this journal line?

I don't want the check to go to OHIOVALL01. When I select YES. The check gets printed to Ohio Valley Ag. If I select NO, nothing pulls in to pay to John Deere. Also when I go to pay John Deere, the invoices for Ohio Valley Ag are not shown to pay.

RE: Setting up a vendor and paying another

This means, you had not done initial "Pay To Vendor" Setup correctly for Vendor No. OHIOVALL01.

Hence all the record got posted with Vendor No. - OHIOVALL01 instead of JOHNDEER01.

You can go and see the Vendor Ledger Entry for Vendor No. - OHIOVALL01. Ideally there should not be any entries in the Vendor ledger for this vendor...

Now, you have to clear the old entries from the system from OHIOVALL01 vendor. You can make the payment from this vendor, if feasible or reverse the entries.

From now onwards, there would not be any Vendor Ledger Entries for OHIOVALL01 as you have made correct setup and hence you can make the payment to JOHNDEER01...

Pl. check the ledger entries and confirm.

Hope this helps.

RE: Setting up a vendor and paying another

I had to table this issue and now I am back again trying to get this to work. I have set up Vendor Card (X) with a pay to Vendor (Y) under Invoicing Vendor No. When I go to pay Vendor X, I get a pop up. If I say yes, a check will go to Vendor X and that is not what I want. So I say no. Now I go in to pay Vendor Y in the Payment Journal and the entry for Vendor X is not showing to pay. I am not sure how to get the invoices under Vendor X to pay to Vendor Y. Is there something I have not set up correctly and or not doing correctly? Thanks

RE: Setting up a vendor and paying another

When you setup Vendor X with Pay to Vendor Y, this mean any transaction that you would do, will create the Vendor Ledger Entry for Vendor Y directly (not for Vendor X at all).

However lets assume that, you missed this setup initially and setup Vendor X (without Pay to Vendor defined), which will directly creates the Vendor Ledger Entry for Vendor X.

In such case, even if you add pay to vendor Y later for this Vendor X, still it will not show in Payment Journal.

You need to close this Vendor X ledger entry manually by releasing the payment to them.

To summarise, You must have not done the initial setup correctly and hence system has generated the Vendor Ledger Entry for Vendor X.

Hope this is clear.
