Adding secondary payees to existing payable invoices

Note: You can add secondary payees as long as the amount does not cause the vendor’s balance to become negative.

In your contracting work, you receive and enter a payable invoice from a existing vendor for subcontract work. You enter and save the invoice, which exists in your database with a record number. Subsequently the contractor informs you that a portion of that invoice should be paid as a two-party check to one of the vendor’s suppliers. Use the following procedure to handle this situation.

To add a secondary payee to an existing payable invoice:

  1. Open 4-2 Payable Invoices/Credits.
  2. Using the data control, locate and open the existing invoice.
  3. Click the Secondary Payees button. The Secondary Payees window opens.
  4. In the Second Payee column, enter the name of the secondary payee.
  5. In the Amount column, enter the amount to be paid to the secondary payee.
  6. Click the Save toolbar button, which saves your entries and closes the window.
  7. In the 4-2 Payable Invoices/Credits window, click Save.
