Additional Information: In order to get the vendor address information for different Address IDs associated with each specific invoice to print on the Check Remittance Report, you would have to create an addt'l Tables Relationship from the steps outlined above. If the customer has different address IDs used on various invoices, you would have to link PM_Payment_Work_TRX table to the PM Transaction OPEN File (PM20000) first. This file will have the address ID in the VADCDTRO column. Then you must link this address field to the PM Address MSTR (PM00300) tables to the specific address (ADRSCODE field). If you wanted Microsoft to customize this report for you, it would be considered a consulting expense. Please contact your Collins Computing managing consultant.
