Issue/Symptom/Question

I need to cut two checks to the same Vendor.  One is to Vendor Location A and the other is to Vendor Location B.  Do I change the Vendor Name or the Address Name?

Applies To 

PENTA for Windows

Accounts Payable > Vendors > Vendor Information

Accounts Payable > Check Processing > Automated Check Processing > Select Items for Payment

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The Address Name is the Name that prints on the check, when that Address Number is used during check processing.

If there is one vendor set up for the Vendor (assuming there is only one tax Id for the vendor), with two Addresses, then switching the Address Number in the Select Items for Payment window can be used to have checks with different names printing.  Create the Addresses for the Vendor to use for the check, one for Location A and one for Location B. 

If there are two different Tax Ids, then you will need two different Vendors.
