Paying vendor bills with the plugin allows you to remain within your ERP system without needing to access your Bank Account separately. You can pay a Vendor Bill individually or improve efficiency by processing them in groups. Follow this guide to learn how to do both.

## Paying Grouped Bills

Grouping bills for payment will make it easier to manage your vendor bills within the ERP system. There are a few prerequisites you need to address to get started.

If you would like to make grouped bill payments, please ensure you have the **GROUP BILLS FOR PAYMENT **checkbox selected on the Vendor record. This can be done by navigating to the Vendor record and selecting the sub-tab for your bank.

:::hint{type="warning"}
**IMPORTANT: **Enabling the **GROUP BILLS FOR PAYMENT **function means only *one remittance email* will be sent out for the whole list of multiple bills grouped for the same vendor into a single payment. 

If this feature is not enabled for this vendor, then each paid bill is considered its own unique payment with its own remittance email, resulting in multiple payments and multiple emails.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
### Go to Vendor Bills

To make a grouped bill payment, navigate to SVB Go Link** → Payments → Vendor Bills**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
### Select Bills to Pay

Select more than one bill for at least one Vendor with Grouped Bills enabled, and then select **Pay**.

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
### Confirm Payment

The Confirm Payment window appears, where you can select the Source Account and verify the number of bills compared to the payments. 

With Grouped Payments enabled for a Vendor to whom you are paying more than one bill, the number of payments will always be less than the number of bills.

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/MM6nC_bKbIkwCRqiFZqEu/Q54607i6qttMNk1pl7IQn_image.png" size="80" width="2874" height="1138" caption="Select Bills to Pay as Grouped" position="center" showCaption="true"}

If everything looks good, select **OK** to transmit the payment.
