Payment details are automatically sent to your vendors right after a bill is paid, giving them what they need to quickly check their records. :::hint{type="info"} **NOTE: **If you are interested in enabling this feature, contact your Sales Officer. ::: *** ## Remittance Advice Overview FISPAN's Remittance Advice service automatically sends an email to the vendor’s designated email address(es) for every submitted payment. This email will contain your company name and a detailed list of the paid bills, including the Reference/Invoice #, Invoice Date, Amount, and Discount Used. If any credits were applied, the credit's reference number and amount will also be displayed. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/nP9c3WbWRGx8v01m6DHJm--sFIfOm8q7hjv6DLyGpiY-20250606-210519.png" size="50" width="800" height="1158" position="center" caption="A sample remittance email. Exact template may vary." darkWidth="800" darkHeight="1158" showCaption="true"} Each remittance email can be sent to up to 5 email addresses. By default, the system uses the Vendor’s email address. If you prefer to use a custom list, you can set** Payables Email Addresses **on the custom tab of the Vendor's profile in NetSuite (or the Payment Methods page in Sage Intacct and Business Central). The email will be sent from FISPAN and feature your bank's branding. As a user, you can customize several settings: - **"Reply-To" Email Address:** Configure an address that the recipient will see and use if they reply to the remittance advice. - **Receive Copies:** Choose an email address to receive copies of all sent remittance advice. - **Alternative Company Name: **You may request that we configure a different company name to appear in the email on a per-bank account basis. Remittance emails are submitted shortly after the payment is successfully sent from your ERP. The subject line of the email will appear as: "Your customer \{CUSTOMER\_NAME} has initiated a payment." :::hint{type="warning"} **IMPORTANT:** Enabling the GROUP BILLS FOR PAYMENT function means that only one remittance email is sent for multiple bills grouped into a single payment for the same vendor. If this feature is not enabled, each paid bill is treated as a unique payment with its own remittance email, which results in multiple payments and multiple emails. ::: *** ## Configuring Remittance Advice Follow these steps in the FISPAN Portal to enable and manage your Remittance Advice settings. :::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem ### Navigate to the App Center Log in to [https://sys.fispan.live/](https://sys.fispan.live/ui/integrations) (or Sandbox: [https://sandbox.fispan.cloud/](https://sandbox.fispan.cloud/ui/integrations)) using your FISPAN Portal credentials.
