Justin,

You must be running 2015.  Before 2015, the payee name was the vendor name in the vendor masterfile.  A customer reported a defect that when remit-to name/address was printed on a check, the payee name in positive pay didn't match the name on the check.  We agreed that positive pay should export the actual name pinrted on the check.  Therefore, we fixed check update to update the remit-to name to B/R check payee name, therefore positive pay export would pull the correct name.  

Address is still the vendor address in vendor masterfile.  We didn't change that.

There is no way to include a different name.  You can submit an enhancement request.

That sounds highly wrong to me!

Thank you Natasha.  I actually got it wrong from the client - it is as you explained - the payee name is coming from the master file as you said.  

I just want to confirm - this is addressed in 2015?  Thanks again.

Yes.

So there is another issue which was not addressed by this fix - the use of the NOF vendor in a Manual Check.  The client is changing the name on the Manual Check Entry, but NOT ON FILE VENDOR is passing through to Bank Reconciliation.

I just tried it in 2019.  My modified name updated to B/R.

I changed the NOF vendor name to John Smith in Manual Check Entry, then update the register.

Bank Rec has the name John Smith (last record in grid)

And then again, perhaps the client has told me something incorrectly (grits teeth).  I will verify and get back with you if needed.  If you don't hear from me - all is well.  THANK YOU!

AND, hold that mic.  So if I do a NOF on the client's system, it works.  If the end user does one, it does not.  I have looked at every role option on all 3 tabs for AP, BR, GL, LM, and CI and I don't see anything indicating that it should work differently for her than I.  We did this all on her machine, so there wasn't anything different there - I just logged into Sage as me. SO - what option makes it not work???????

Take that mic back....  :-)
