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