Since the email in the document layouts controls which email is being sent the vendor remittance for, is the email in the vendor bank account for informational purposes? And the email field on the vendor card is what is used for emailing out statements, invoices, reports, etc.

The email on the vendor is used when you are sending a remittance or when you don't have a contact assigned to a document (such as a PO) or if you don't have a document layout email setup. You can test this by creating a PO for a vendor that doesn't have a document layout setup and make sure the PO doesn't have a contact assigned to it. You can also select a payment in the vendor ledger entries and send the remittance and the default email on the vendor will be used.

Edit: Sorry just realized you're referring to the email on the vendor bank account card. As far as im aware that's just for information purposes. It would be information related to that bank record only.

Hello,

Yes that’s exactly how it works.

Document Layouts → Email field

This is the email BC uses for remittances and any document assigned to layouts.

→ This field takes priority over everything else.

Vendor Card → Email

Used for statements, invoices, POs, and general communication when no document layout override exists.

Vendor Bank Account → Email

Informational only.

BC does not use it for sending remittances or any documents.

Regards,

Hi, If you are referring to the fields below, yes, this is just for reference.
It can also be used in some customizations.

Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, the email in Document Layouts controls which address is used for sending specific documents like vendor remittance advice, while the email on the Vendor Card is the default for general communications such as statements, invoices, and reports.

The email on the Vendor Bank Account is mainly informational and does not affect document sending.

Yes, it’s only for informational purposes and it isn’t required. I’ve personally never seen it used, though it’s possible some other users might have had niche use cases for it.

Hi,

The email in the Vendor Bank Account is informational only. It does not control document emailing.

Thanks
