Payees
Payees are the parties who receive payments.
Note
You only use this when the party who receives payment is not the Supplier that is specified in the AccountingSupplierParty element.
You can model Payees and Payee information in a number of ways using the following elements:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| PayeeParty | You can use this element to specify details like the Payee's name. |
| PaymentMeans | You can use the PayeeFinancialAccount element to specify the Payee's bank account. |
| PersonConfirmingPayment (Italy only) | In Italy, there is an Extension that you can use to specify the person who confirms the payment. See Italy: Payee Data. |
When you do need to model a Payee, this usually indicates that factoring is involved. A Factoring Agent can purchase an invoice from a Supplier for a fraction of the total. When the invoice is due, payment is sent to the Factoring agent. You may want to model this in your Documents.
To model the assignment of a Document to a factor, you must fulfil the following requirements:
- A disclaimer should be added. You can use the Note element to do so. More information about notes is also provided in the Invoice Note topic.
- The Factoring Agent must be identified as the Payee.
