When sending vendor payments to the bank, you can notify your vendors that the payments have been completed. This can be done via the bank and by email. In the payment notification, you can add information about which invoices are included in a summarized payment.

When you complete the assisted Payment Management General setup guide, you can define how to notify your vendors.

You can set up the parameters for notifying vendors at several places in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Payment Management uses a hierarchy to determine which notification settings to apply to the payment. You can see the hierarchy for using the notification method in the following table.

For information on how to send and manage payment notifications from the payment journal, see Managing Payment Notifications.
