QBO API to AvidXChange - Vendor Name
Hi, my company uses AvidXChange to process payments. There are three vendor name fields in QBO: Company Name, Vendor Display Name, and Name to Print on Checks. Why is QBO setup to use the Vendor Display Name in their API...and only the Vendor Display Name!? That is the internal vendor reference name used across the application. My guess is that it's because it is the only field that is required. But, this is causing issues for our business. We have several accounts for the same vendor, and we use the vendor display name to distinguish the accounts: ABC Company 1234, ABC Company 2468, ABC Company 6789. Now, we have checks being written by our payment processing provider made out to ABC Company 1234. Do I have any options here? Can the API include more than just the internal vendor display name? I'm hoping something is in the works for QBO to address this issue within their API. Suggestion: Make the Company Name also required, default it to the Display Name for transition if blank, then add the field to the API (along with Vendor Display Name). Or, just add Company Name and Name to Print on Checks to the API. Looking for anyone else who has had this issue and how they solved it. Thanks!
