From AgencyCloud 12.124+, multiple vendor payments can be made - this is useful for situations where a trust accountant needs to be able to split the buyer deposit payment across multiple vendors

As a result of this update, items in the Vendor Payment Run will no longer be checked by default - see section 2 below for more detail

1. Vendor Payments

  • A Split Payments panel is visible which lists out the vendors
    Payments will be shown as above providing the payment has been marked as payable to the vendor in the vendor screen - where payments have been marked for the solicitor, the Split Payments section will be displayed but will not be editable

  • Use the Amount column to apportion the payment or click Split payment equally, as applicable

The Bank column in the Split Payments panel allows individual bank details to be added or changed

2. Vendor Payment Run

  • When valid payments to vendors are present, they will no longer be checked by default in the Vendor Payment Run

This encourages each payment to be checked and apportioned correctly before processing the payment run - if the vendor is ticked and the payment run posted, the payment will not be apportioned and paid in full to the main vendor
