Hi, but how do you define which vendor to choose? it might be money from any vendor
Hello Denis,
Business team is already aware about the transaction / from which vendor the money is received. To identify the vendor there should be a unique reference in bank statement like "SALARI" which is highlighted in bank statement screenshot above. Based on unique reference the search string is created with vendor number so that that particular vendor will be picked when the statement is uploaded.
Hope this clarifies your question. Please feel free to revert if this doesn't answer you question. I will try to explain with best of my knowledge.
Thanks,
