Adding Remittance Advice to an Order
What is Remittance Advice?
Remittance advice is a document provided by a customer to a supplier to confirm that an invoice has been paid. It details essential transaction information like the amount and date of payment, and the invoice number. The document aids in account reconciliation and accurate financial record-keeping for suppliers by helping them match payments to outstanding invoices. It is especially useful in situations where one payment settles multiple invoices, facilitating clearer financial tracking for both parties.
