Difference Between Vendor Order Address and Remit Address in Business Central
In day-to-day purchasing and payment operations, vendors often operate from multiple locations — such as warehouses, regional offices, or corporate headquarters. To manage these efficiently, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers two helpful features on the vendor card: Vendor Order Addresses and Vendor Remit Addresses.
We’ve already discussed both features in detail:
-
Vendor Order Addresses (Vendor Order Addresses (Multiple Vendor addresses)) in Business Central — used for managing different ordering or delivery locations.
-
Vendor Remit Addresses (Vendors Multiple remit-to addresses In Buiness Central) in Business Central — used for managing different payment locations.
In this blog, we’ll focus on the difference between these two features.
Both help you handle vendor transactions more accurately, but they serve distinct purposes in the purchasing and payment process. Let’s understand how they differ

Example
Scenario |
The
vendor delivers items from multiple warehouses, and you need to select the
correct one while creating the order. |
The
vendor wants payments sent to their head office instead of the branch that
shipped the goods. |

where the goods will be delivered. |
When
processing vendor payments, the selected Remit-to Code decides where
the payment or check will be sent. |
Main
Function |
Defines
where goods or services are delivered from or to. |
Defines

Simple Way to Remember
-
Order Address → For ordering or delivery
-
Remit Address → For sending payments
Example
Let’s say your vendor GreenTech Suppliers delivers goods from their Pune Warehouse but wants payments to be sent to their Mumbai Head Office.
-
Pune Warehouse → Vendor Order Address
-
Mumbai Head Office → Remit Address
This way, your purchase orders reach the right warehouse, and your payments reach the correct office — automatically handled by Business Central.
Both Vendor Order Addresses and Remit Addresses are small but powerful tools in Business Central. They help you manage vendors with multiple locations more efficiently, reduce errors, and make your purchasing and payment processes seamless.
By configuring them correctly, you ensure that every order and payment goes to the right place — every time.
