This feature is intended for flexibility in payment routing, especially for vendors with multiple remittance addresses. This allows you to ship to different addresses listed on the vendor's invoice record. 

Invoice-level changes are treated as vendor record overrides and do not update the vendor record. 

***

## Overview

When a check payment is initiated, the plugin will reference the selected address type: 

- **Pay-to** 
- **Buy-from** 
- **Ship-to** 

If a default is configured for the vendor, that address will automatically be used. This applies specifically to check print payments.

## Set Address at Invoice Level

This ensures all future check payments default to this address. You can also use this address to make one-off check payments on the Pay Bills page.
