Need the ability to invoice individual customers but have one parent customer pay the invoices. The invoice account won't work because there are many invoice accounts with one payment account. Paying each customer individually does not work as there are too many. Is this possible out of the box in 2012 R3?

This is not supported out of the Box in AX.

My post was incorrect. What I need is a parent vendor with multiple children. The invoices are posted against multiple vendors but the parent vendor needs to get the payment.

Select a party from the global address book to associate the selected vendor record with .i.e. the parent company -Vendor Group HQ.

When you pay a vendor by using checks, you can set up an alternative address that has a purpose of Remit-to, so you can make that the remit to address for the Vendor Group HQ.

So that way you settle with the individual parent but the money goes to the Vendor Group HQ bank.

Hi dserp,

A possible workaround for this is to setup a payment method for all of your children vendors that have your parent vendor as the payment account setup.

In other words, you first make a 'payment' for your children, which transfers their open balances to the parent vendor.

Once this is done, the parent vendor can pay those amounts as usual through a payment journal.

Would be great if you could test this and let us know if this fixes your issue.

Many thanks and best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Dr. Ludwig,

Thank you for this post! My team and I believe this will be the solution to an issue we were trying to solve in regards to generating one payment for all vendors to send to the parent company as opposed to multiple vendor payments being sent to the parent company.

Regards,

Phylice

Hi Ludwig,

If the children's balances were to transfer to the parents, how would you track the purchases made by the children? You would loose the visibility to the children's actual purchases data. If I were to BI on who the vendors are, I would not able to track the children vendors. Thoughts? Thanks
