Set Up Vendor Bank Accounts

Just as you can use bank account information on Business Central to keep track of your company's banking transactions, you can also set banking details for vendors. Vendor bank account data can simplify payments to suppliers when combined with the AMC Banking 365 Fundamentals Extension or the Export Payments to a Bank File feature, for example.

Add or edit a vendor bank account

1. Choose the icon, enter Vendors, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the card for the vendor.
3. Choose the Bank Accounts action.
4. From the Vendor Bank Accounts List, choose the relevant bank account, or add a new bank account by choosing New.
5. On the Vendor Bank Account Card page, fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

Tip

Some fields are hidden until you choose the Show more action, typically because they are used rarely. Others must be added through personalization. For more information, see Personalize Your Workspace.

Warning

Some fields on the vendor bank account contain sensitive business data, such as the Bank Branch No., Bank Account No., SWIFT Code, and IBAN Code. For more information on how to monitor and be notified when someone changes a value in those fields, see Monitor Sensitive Fields.

Tip

You can set additional vendor bank accounts on the Vendor Bank Account List page.

Set up a preferred vendor bank account

If a vendor has one or more bank accounts and you want to set a preferred option for the payment journal lines, follow these steps:

1. Choose the icon, enter Vendors, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the card for the vendor.
3. On the Payments FastTab, choose the default vendor bank account in the Preferred Bank Account Code field.
