I want to start by saying that emailing remittances IS working. I have a email message template for our remittance email and if I process a remittance using the "Remittance Form" against a batch, the desired user receives the email with the desired attachment.
My problem that I'd like some confirmation or explanation for, relates to 're-processing' a remittance. IF I update the email message template and try to re-run the "Remittance Form" process, the received email uses the old template format. If I add or remove content from the message template, these changes are not reflected. I've gone so far as removing that remittance message template, and creating a new one. Each time the remittance email still uses the original format.
I believe this quirk extends to the vendor. If I update the vendor's email attributes to include a 'cc' after the initial send, this is also not reflected on subsequent attempts. I've not fully validated this quirk.
If I create a new payables batch, and process it, this new batch will use the newer message template.
It appears as if the initial 'process remittance' creates the email structure that will be used for any and all future attempts to process that batch. However the attached Check Remittance report IS updated if changes are made.
The reason we find this concerning is that it makes us wonder if recurring Batches (scheduled monthly employee reimbursements for example) would not be updated if we decide to make a format change to the email message template.
Thanks for any insight!
